"Your credit card is about to expire" error every time I try to purchase an app in App Store

i went into settings—payment&shipping and deleted my card. Then added it back and it worked and now able to do purchases! I never had to delete it from the wallet ! Hope this helps yall !

This seems to be working I just un added my card on wallet part the added it again then added it like normal on payment method under my Apple ID and it worked

I was having all the same issues as everyone else!

THIS WAS THE ONLY THING THAT WORKED FOR ME!!!!!

THANK YOU :)

Go to Settings->Apple Id->Payment and Shipping and remove the payment method linked to Apple Pay. Then add the card details back as a new payment method but DO NOT LINK it to Apple Pay. The card should then start working again.

Somebody said to delete your credit card and put it back in. However, if you have any subscriptions, such as Netflix, or anything they will not let you delete the credit card. And if you try to add the same card as a second card, it says you already have that card added. I tried adding an additional credit card which was completely different and that was successful and then I just removed it and then it seemed to work but then the next day the error came back again.

Hmm… I’m wondering if they switched from storing credit card expiration dates in MM/YY format to MM/YYYY format. If they did this without padding the existing expiry years with a leading “20”, that would make a credit card that expires in 2026 appear to have expired in the year 26 (I.e. the past). By deleting your card info and re-entering it (which seems to be the solution to this problem), you are correcting the data error yourself.

I tried to delete the card in settings wallet section not in wallet app or Apple Store, it went fine for me without any problems, maybe you can try it this way? Idk.

Same. I even went so far as to add a different credit card. The only work around I’ve found so far is using PayPal as my main card but even that is spotty.

Go to your Apple id account , you will see it says your card has expired, simply update the expiry date and CCV. Seems the system has forgotten or removed all this information.

Check your card on file for your Apple ID purchases: Go to Settings>[Your Name, at the top]>Payment & Shipping, and check that card.

Thanks for sharing your valuable experience! I solved the problem!

I had a subscription up for renewal at the end of this month, so once I cancelled that, I was successful!

There is a thread where people are removing their card from the Wallet app - as opposed to Settings - and then re-entering the information there, and then it is working. Worth a try. I did it two times and it did not work, but that might be a function of the phone I have vs. theirs. Probably worth trying for you. Hope it works!

Having exactly the same problem! Had no issues yesterday but today getting error “your card is about to expire “ when it does not until 2027 and it won’t let me delete and enter again and won’t let me pay (even though it only says “about “ to expire.

seeing how many others are having issues with the same thing yesterday/today it looks like an Apple Pay issue rather than an “us” issue.

Bump

This! This worked. I made a purchase and then when making another purchase, it stopped working. Your method is what worked. Going into the wallet, delete and readd worked for me. It even allowed me to readd the one on the Apple ID section.

Seems like a new year number glitch.

Was there a change in date formatting? I got the error that my 2027 expiration date card was expired (I’ve had it loaded on my phone over a year). Tried deleting and reading and it kept sayin expired. Then I noticed the year is now 4 digits, I thought it used to be 2. It accepted without issue once I put in 2024. Strange.

Spoke with Apple and I was to.d it was an Apple system error at end of 2023. Strangely, all 2024 transactions were going thru so I was concerned that expired card message was a hoax. But apparently not. Despite being a system wide error, Apple support said the no general message was sent out to notify ApplePay users. As I said, my bank was allowing transactions despite Apple’s internal expiration notice to me. Others have stated below how to fix.
