Hi Suzieque1

Welcome to the Apple Community.


We are all Apple users, like yourself, so we have no access to your accounts or details to check the reason out for you.


Wondering whether the terminal gave an error message.that would point to the reason payment was declined.


See if this article from Apple Support helps:

Also wondering which card you have, and whether you activated the card before it's first use.

Eg:

Apple support's article: Request and activate a titanium Apple Card - Apple Support

Says:

How to activate a titanium Apple Card:

You need a compatible iPhone with the latest iOS versionto activate your titanium Apple Card. Your card is ready to use as soon as it's activated. If you're part of a shared Apple Card account, you can activate your own titanium Apple Card.

    1. Open the packaging that has your titanium Apple Card inside.
    2. Follow the steps in the packaging. If you need more help, chat with an Apple Card specialist.
