I just want to use wallet for my boarding passes but now it seems you have to activate Apple Pay - is there a way around this?

Thanks for responding. When I now click on Wallet the only option I have is to give a card number. I don’t want to do that. There is no way to download boarding passes anymore- as there had been not too long ago

Yes I should have been more precise- there is no way any longer for me to add my boarding passes as there had been a few weeks ago. My wallet screen only shows the option to add a card and nothing else

so in other words, in the past, I clicked on the boarding pass and there was an option to add it to wallet. Now i get an error message- regardless of the airlines (so it is not an airlines issue). The wallet application appears to also have changed. Previously when I clicked on it, it showed my boarding passes- now it only shows a screen which allows me to add a card. There is no other option- add a card is the only one.As I do not want to add a card, there is no possibility now to do anything with the application. It appears as if it went from being a Wallet for boarding passes to a Wallet for Payment (and perhaps boarding passes- that i do not know because I have not added a card and been able to proceed). Hope I am clearer now.
