Is there any card or method I can add to Apple Pay that doesn’t require giving a social security number?

I wanna add a card that doesn’t require a social security number to Apple Pay. If anyone here knows a card I can use that would be cool. So far I’ve asked around elsewhere and gotten different answers, some ended up requiring a social anyway but the only answer I’ve received that doesn’t require a social security number is American Express gift/prepaid cards. I was sent this picture and I went on their site but they aren’t very specific about which exact card is confirmed to work on Apple Pay. If you know which exact card works from experience whether its an Amex gift card or other card that needs no social security number makes no difference, I’d like to know either way.

Hello no-ssn-for-use-in-apple-pay!

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

I see from your post that you are wondering if there is another way to use Apple Pay with out using a social security number, and what other payment methods are usable with Apple Pay.

If you are trying to use Apple Pay Cash, you will be asked to verify your identity in order to protect your account. Check out this article called Identity verification for Apple Pay Cash for more information on what other information aside from a social security number can be used to verify your identity.

For information on what cards you can add to Apple Pay, check out the "How do I add a card to Wallet to use with Apple Pay?" section of the article About Apple Pay.

Cheers.
