An expired certificate has led to the repeated removal of linked American Express credit cards from user's Google Pay accounts.
Starting yesterday, Google Pay users with linked American Express cards began receiving emails that Google removed their linked Amex card.
Amex also recommended that users add their Amex card back to Google Pay, but users found that their credit cards would be unlinked again in a few hours, according to Android Police.
In a statement to BleepingComputer, Google said an expired certificate is causing Google Pay to remove the American Express cards and that they are working on a fix.
"Earlier today we discovered that American Express cards of some of our users got automatically removed from Google Pay due to an expired certificate. We are working to fix this and people will be able to add their cards back soon." - Google.
Update 4/16/21 2:45 PM EST: American Express told BleepingComputer that the issue has been resolved and that customers can add their Amex cards back to Google Pay.
