Why does it say cannot add card

Mmmm ... thank you Mike104,

I see Apple Support now has this article online.

Add your Apple Account Card to Wallet on iPhone – Apple Support

Re: possible solutions

Wondering if you are getting an error message that would point to the cause of card not adding,

and

which Mac model, iPhone or device model you are using

and

which Mac OS / iPhone iOS, or device iOS is installed.

Hello st4ryuki,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. You can find the help you need with this Apple Support article: If you can't add a card to Apple Wallet to use with Apple Pay - Apple Support

1. "Check that you're able to use Apple Pay:

• Contact your card issuer to see if they support Apple Pay.
• Update to the latest version of iOS or iPadOS, watchOS, or macOS.
• Make sure that you are in a supported country or region.
• Check that your device is compatible with Apple Pay.

2.Check for services outages or connection issues.

3.If you see the message "Could Not Add Card" or "Invalid Card," contact your bank or card issuer."

Let us know if you have any questions.

Best regards!

Apple has recently added the ability to add the Apple Account card in the Apple Wallet. I too am unable to add this to the apple wallet, and I do have funds on my apple account. Anyone else run into this and possible solutions?

Hi st4ryuki.

welcome to the Apple Community.

Re: Why cant i add my apple account to wallet?

Seems Apple ID Account balance can only be used for Apple purchases at this time.

Eg: It is used for App Store, Apple Music, iCloud, and more. Your money stays with your Apple ID account.

Apple Pay and Wallet are used differently from your Apple purchases.:

Wallet uses your Apple Pay credit / debit cards to pay merchants, in stores and on the web.

ie: Your account(s) and statements are with your card providers (eg: bank / credit company.).

Hope this helps :-)
