Q: Can't Activate My First Bankcard with Apple Pay
I received a notification from my credit card issuer (First Bankcard) that they were now able to support Apple Pay. I went through the process of setting up the card via my iPhone 5S for my Apple Watch. The process went smooth enough and the card showed on my Apple watch with a message that said "Activating, Please Try Later". I wanted for about 4 hours and this never changed. I called my issuing bank and they said that the Token was active on their end and that I should try removing the card and starting over again. So that is exactly what I did. I removed the card from Apple Pay and then tried to re enter it but now I only get a message that says "Could Not Add Card, Try again or contact your card issuer for more information" I have tried about 15 times at this point and I've contacted my card issuer again and they said that the token was still active and that they had no idea what to to and to contact Apple. So here I am in an endless loop where my credit card issuer is unable to help me and there is no "customer support" number for Apple Pay to call. Has anyone else out there had this issue and if so; were you able to rectify it and how?
Apple Watch, watchOS 2
