Why Can’t Some Users Remove Their Credit Card from Their YouTube Account?

Some iPhone, iPad, and Mac users may not be able to remove credit cards. This may be because there are some ongoing paid services tied to the account. In this case, you will not be able to remove the credit card.

When you remove a credit card, Google will ask you to add another credit card or other payment method before you can remove the card you want to remove.

If you don’t want to add another credit card, you can cancel paid services like YouTube Premium, wait a few hours or days, and then use the method above to remove the credit card you want to remove. Canceling your YouTube Premium subscription will not immediately terminate your service. You will continue to enjoy the benefits until the end of your billing period.

If you’re still unable to remove an existing credit card from your YouTube or Google account a few days after canceling your subscription, you can still try the following 2 methods:

  • Go to the app or website of the bank that owns your credit card and turn off the credit card’s online purchase feature. The service you have subscribed to will no longer be charged to that card.
Note:
Some bank apps or websites do not support this feature. You can ask the bank staff how to turn off the credit card’s online purchase function.
