Credit Card Expiration Date

My new
citi Diamond Preferred MasterCard
has an expiration date of 06/30/18.

I have no (obvious) way to enter this into 1Password.
1Password only accepts the format MM/YYYY

Please advise.

Thanks

    There have been many requests to add this ability. I gather that it isn't as simple to do as it sounds. I'm Sure someone from AgileBits will be along to add your vote for prioritizing this addition.

    As an aside, none of my credit cards have a day for expiration. Only month and year. But my driver license has a day to expire, and there is nowhere in 1Password to enter the day for that either.

    Citibank is weird this way. Set the expires date to 7/2018 and you should be good. Technically, the card would be expired on the first second of July 1st (e.g. 00:00:01).

    Place a note in the Notes section of the item to remind you.

    Hi @george_b,

    Sounds like you've already got a pretty great explanation here from Hawkmoth and Mr.C. I'll be sure to pass your thoughts along to our developers.

    In the meantime, I would suggest storing the month and year of the expiry date in the available fields (these are the fields that 1Password will use to fill in on websites, and I have yet to see a website that requests the expiry date down to the day), and then adding a note or a custom field with the full expiry date (as Mr.C suggests).

    Thanks everyone. I haven't used this card yet. I did attempt to add it to my virtual Apple Pay passbook. Neither 07/2018 or 06/2018 were able to validate. Guess I'll have to use other cards (I bet Citi monitors this forum..)

    Hi @george_b ,

    It's a shame that Apple Pay doesn't seem to play nice with Citi either! We'll do what we can to have 1Password working better here for you soon. :)

    Does citi have a number to call to help with setting up Apple Pay? My bank has an automated process that involves a phone call and an automated text that I have to read back to the automated phone system. So far, that has never worked for two phones times two different cards from the same bank. But then I get connected to a live person, who handles it on the other end. Maybe citi has a similar service?

    We have few opportunities where I live to use Apple Pay, but where we can, it is super convenient. I'd use it always if I could. citibank advertises that it supports apple Pay, so I would think they would want to help.

    I have two Citi cards in Apple Pay. One card has a day included in the expiration date, one does not. For Apple Pay, eliminate the day portion to get it to verify. I just tested this.

    There's nothing I can add that these far more knowledgable people haven't said already. The one thing I'm curious about is I've never seen a an online payment form with an option of the day for expiry, it's alway just month and year like we record. I assume there must be an agreed approach according to Citi on how you as the customer are meant to handle it, possibly as @MrC says in that you simply knock the day off.

    Well this puts a cherry on top. I got a call from citi fraud alert.
    "Someone tried to add your citi MasterCard to Apple Pay -- but failed!!"

    I said "Yeah, that was me. I couldn't use 08/24/2017 as an expiration date for Apple Pay, so I canceled"
    I asked for an equiivant MM/YYYY format for my card, but no luck.

    I think @RichardPayne's advice was to just enter the month and year into the Apple Pay system. He said that works for him. He didn't say he asked Citi for an equivalent. Perhaps I misunderstand, but have you attempted to just register your card with the month and year only?

    I seem to be giving advice without actually posting. Cool. ;)

    Omg, as they say, @RichardPayne. It looks like the advice as actually from @MrC. I didn't mean to give credit where it wasn't due.

    LOL. That was kind of funny.

    @george_b, let us know how it turns out for you. The standard for majority of credit cards tends to be mm/yyyy, which is why we adopt that standard as well for 1Password. It is possible later this year as banks are legally required to switch over to the new EMV standard, this will change.
