Why has Apple Card services been down for almost 2 weeks?
I received an physical Apple Titanium MasterCard on 6/22. (The card was added to my Apple Wallet a few days earlier after I was approved for the card.)
I used the card twice in a retail store using Apple Pay. I even made a payment to the account through my checking account. I know the account is active.
I have yet to be able to activate the card.
I have tried dozens of times using the "standard" method (hold the phone by the card). I have also used the "I lost the packaging" option. The "error" message I get when I try activating the card via either method is:
"Apple Card services are currently unavailable. Please try again later"
Have Apple Card services really been down for almost 2 weeks? Sounds pretty unlikely.
My phone's software is up-to-date (14.6). The phone have been turned on and off during those dozens of attempts. Phone is an iPhone SE.
What do I have to do to get the card activated?
iPhone SE
