Additional Considerations
While removing a credit card from Google Play is a simple process, there are a few additional considerations to keep in mind:
Multiple Payment Methods: If you have multiple payment methods associated with your Google Play account, you can set a different payment method as your default by tapping on the three vertical dots next to the desired payment method and selecting “Set as default.” This will ensure that the newly selected payment method is used for future purchases.

This can be done by tapping on the three vertical dots next to the expired or invalid card and selecting “Edit” or “Add payment method.”
