My daily Apple Cash used to show up on my wife's phone, but now it's only on my phone. To my knowledge, we didn't change any settings anywhere, so I can't figure out what happened. I don't really want to delete accounts or mess with anything without knowing for sure the effect because this was working fine until a week or so ago.
We're part of the same Family Group, but our e-mails (AppleID) are different.

Is your wife a co-owner or participant on your Apple Card Mastercard account? Does she have her own Apple Cash account?
Let’s look at this. You can >share< Apple Cash through Family Sharing. That may be what you were seeing. Making your spouse a co-owner eliminated the need to share funds, because she has her own account.
Co-owners and Participants each have their own account. In the first link I shared above it shows what a co-owner can see and what they can’t. There are no settings to change the way it operates. It’s just not an option.

I think that may be an issue. We don't know. When we signed up, there was an issue of some sort (don't remember exactly). I'm wondering if we have separate accounts? How can I tell?
My Apple Card in Wallet says that she's an "Account Co-Owner".
In any case, she was getting the notifications for the daily Apple Cash until recently. Now it shows up only on my phone.
Both accounts are set up as you said (Apple Card and Apple Cash). We do have different Apple IDs with Family Sharing, but purchases in App Store work and we can both see the Apple Card transactions.
She was able to see the Daily Cash for Apple Cash until 9/3/2023 (as opposed to today for what I see). Now it comes to my phone. It seems something had linked them at one point and now has unlinked them. To my knowledge, we changed nothing on either phone (including updates), so I can't imagine what happened.
Appreciate the help. Not sure what happened, but it works now. I broke a cardinal rule of troubleshooting and started deleting things and changing things. Whatever I did, the problem went away. I do know the configuration is exactly what it was before (different Apple IDs, etc). I hate to say it, but maybe just some weird "glitch"?
You were sharing Apple ID’s. That’s the old way she could see your Apple Cash. Once she got her own Apple ID, she wasn’t logged into yours.
No. We’ve had our own accounts from the start. And we didn’t change anything prior to it suddenly not working.
Happy to hear you got it straightened out. I hope you have a great weekend.
Thanks. You, too.
