Unable to add card to Apple Wallet.

Question

In an attempt to add my card to my Apple Watch I reset my phone and now I can’t add a card to either.

I get an error that “Could Not Add Card”. I’m not even able to input card info so this is not a bank issue.

I’ve signed in and out of iCloud and restarted both devices. Please don’t suggest that.

iPhone XR, iOS 13

If you get an error that you already have the maximum amount of cards in wallet with less than 22 cards signing out of your Apple ID and back in usually resolves this issue.
If you are getting a message to contact the card issuer, call the bank or credit card company who issued you the card to make sure there are no restrictions on the card.
If you are getting a message that Apple Pay services are unavailable at this time, sign out of your Apple ID and back in.
