Ask HN: Did your Stripe test credit cards expire in April too?

1 pointsby Timothee12 months ago
Just wanted to give a heads-up for a funny story I just found out, and see if others had the same issue.<p>I was testing a few things around billing locally and my test accounts showed an expired subscription. That seemed weird, but maybe someone else was testing some things on that account?<p>No, the &quot;payment&quot; failed last month and the subscriptions were canceled as a result.<p>The payment failed because the credit card had expired.<p>And the credit card had expired because Stripe uses `4242 4242 4242 4242` as their default test credit card and I have learned to just type 4 and 2 until all the fields are filled in. So the expiration date was filled in as 4&#x2F;24 a long time ago and last April was finally 4&#x2F;24. :)<p>I can&#x27;t be the only one, right?<p>---<p>For future reference, here&#x27;s the documentation about Stripe&#x27;s test payment methods: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.stripe.com&#x2F;testing
