If you're experiencing issues adding your Apple Card to your Apple Wallet and you're seeing the message "Apple Card unavailable, please try again," there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:


  1. Ensure that your iPhone is connected to a stable Wi-Fi or cellular network. Sometimes, a poor network connection can cause issues when adding cards to Apple Wallet.
  2. Make sure your iPhone is running the latest version of iOS. Software updates can include bug fixes and improvements that might address issues with adding cards to Apple Wallet.
  3. Before adding your Apple Card to Apple Wallet, make sure that you've completed the activation process for your Apple Card in the Wallet app. Follow any instructions provided by Apple during the setup process.
  4. Sometimes, technical issues on Apple's end can cause temporary disruptions. If you've ensured all the steps above and are still encountering the error, consider waiting for a while and then trying again later.
  5. If none of the above steps work, you might try removing and re-adding the Apple Card to Apple Wallet. To do this, open the Wallet app, tap on your Apple Card, and look for an option to remove it. Then, follow the steps to add it back.
  6. Ensure you're logged in with the correct Apple ID that you used when obtaining the Apple Card.
