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

I am having the exact same issue when trying to purchase apps or books through apple’s platforms. I have an iPhone 12. The card in question is not close to expiring. I’ve done the steps, deleted, readded, made sure my iOS was updated, etc. and nothing has worked. I noticed the problem started the evening of December 29, 2023.

Did this twice and it did not work. Interestingly, when I went to input the new card, the default expiration date was 12/23.....which means Apple has that date somewhere in the wrong place in the system.

Not sure why this didn't work for me, but did for others.

Does that mean if you cancel any subscription then remove and re-add the card it will work?

I’ve removed card from wallet in settings and re-added it but that failed to solve the problem. There was no option to remove the card from the actual wallet, it could only be removed from settings.

I’m still stuck with this not working. There is clearly an Apple issue here for it to suddenly happen to so many people. We should t need to do anything to “make this work” it should just work without issues.

If you have active subscriptions, that won’t work unless you unsubscribe to everything, which I’m trying to do now but can’t because a $4.99 purchase I made tonight is showing as “overdue” due to this error.

Same thing for me! i removed my card and re-added it with Chase on the phone verifying and afterwards I still got the error saying it’s about to expire when I try to make a purchase. I had my card replaced last March, so I thought maybe the expiration didn’t transfer over somehow? But I have no issue with purchases in general or otherwise it’s just in certain apps. So annoying! Glad to see it is not just me

This started happening to me today, December 30. While my budget is glad that I cannot spend money, I am upset that this is even happening. I hope that Apple figures it out! I also can’t see my other credit card information through my appleID that I know is in the system because it shows up to automatically fill in when needed. I can’t do anything with the wallet.

As someone else said, if you go into your settings and click on wallet (not the wallet app), you can remove your card and reenter it. This worked for me. Thanks to whoever recommended this. Been fighting my iPhone the last two days trying to figure out what the **** is going on!

Ok. I m having the same issue I changed my user name I removed my card from my account , password turned off my phone turned it back on etc. .. I did that last night. Figured it was some glitch. I checked it again when I woke up . It’s still saying the same **** thing again. Ive been reading some of the comments people saying and yes im unfortunately in the same boat. This is so annoying and apple support can’t really help either. Does anyone know why this is all of a sudden happening ?

None of these methods worked for me. Zero subscriptions… Tried adding another card, removing old card, adding back old card (received same error). Then tried adding another card, removed old card, tried to make purchase (same error with a card I never even used before with Apple). Regardless the card always “about to expire.” Seems the whole thing is just completely broken… Must be Apple’s new Y2K24 bug.

Thank you for this information. Do you know if the payment method should be linked or not linked? I added a new payment method, deleted the previous payment method and re-added the previous payment method which is now my default. I'm wondering if linking will cause problems. For now, I'm not linking, I will wait a few days and perhaps link.

Tried this it would not let me remove the card because family organizer requires at least one payment on file so I tried adding a new card but it said apple does not support that card, this is a very frustrating situation

Any updates from Apple? I was able to use my Pay Pal, but there’s literally no way my dad is going to be able to update his payment information. He doesn’t have an alternative payment method, and he has an active subscription. It’s just not going to happen, so Apple has to resolve.

Happening to me now on Mac. It won't let me edit or or verify the card info. It also won't let me remove & re-enter the card because it says it's tied to an active subscription. It also won't let me enter it as a new card because it says that card is already in the system. Hey Apple: 2024 != 2025.

Same issue, also, it seems like this is not Apples problem?

Cause if it’s apple’s problem, I believe my JCB and Mastercard will also shows expired message. (But it didn’t.)

Then, my bank also notice me I removed the same card number from Samsung pay.

I think it’s VISAs system problem.

I’m having exact same issue, card expires in 27 but it’s telling me it’s expired. Major issue now is that it refuses to let me remove and then re-add as I have subscriptions, I try to enter card and it tells me that card already exists.
