Why is Apple TV saying my credit card is about to expire (when it's not)?

Trying to rent a movie, which I did without issue just last week, and Apple TV won't allow because it says my credit card is about to expire (which is not the case).

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 17

Apple TV keeps asking for creditcard in browsers Hey, So I started using Apple TV+ yesterday, and I have been able to watch movies on my Xbox. However, whenever I try to watch a movie within my browser, it keeps asking me for my creditcard information, which frankly, I don't even own. I verified that I actually do have a subscription (using the 3-month trial period). I verified that the problem is not limited to Chrome, Firefox and Edge have the same problem. Is this by design from Apple, or what's going on?? Subscription info: Apple TV+ 3 months free Next duedate: 16‑12‑2022 Hope someone can help me on how to bypass this dumb Creditcard check, it's not EU friendly. Kind regards, Lt_Kraken

Apple TV+ Monthly Subscription fails but any other Apple purchases work fine. Since updating my Visa Credit card (old card expired), my Apple Tv+ Monthly Subsciption keeps failing and requesting that I update my payment details. I have been doing so each month and then the automated payment seems to go through but next time around, I get the same Apple email saying payment declined. Heres the rub: The same payment method on my account WORKS with ANY Apple purchases - I regularly buy Movies on the same Apple TV device using the same Apple ID without any hassles at all. In my frustration with the TV+ subscription, I have now even changed my subscription to yearly and paid the entire years cost successfully USING THE SAME PAYMENT METHOD. My bank has no idea why the Apple payments are failing on the subscriptions as according to them everything is fine - which it is for any manual payment I make to Apple. The same payment method works for my monthly Netflix & Amazon Prime subscriptions - without a single problem. Its only Apple TV+ Subscriptions. Makes no sense. Go figure. Maybe someone from Apple will check this and fix the issue so that it doesnt frustrate anyone else.

Unable to restart billing for AppleTV My old Visa was hacked and I have a new one. I fixed the billing problem with my Apple TV account to pay. I can’t find my subscription. I add my new card but there’s no subscription. Btw: I hope my credit isn’t going to be affected for my mistake. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

We're having the same issue. Card is updated and active, nowhere near to expiration. Have gone into iTunes and Apple wallet to re-enter card info just to ensure. Still getting the same error message that card is about to expire, dead in the water and can't rent a movie.
