My card number on apple wallet is different then it was when i made a payment. Now i can’t return my items. Does it change if i remove the card then add it again and if so is there anyway i can access the old one to get my return?

Is that a credit or debit card? Apple Pay has a different number from the physical card. The card has a number associated with the physical card that’s embedded in the magnetic stripe and the chip. Apple Pay creates a unique number, encrypts the number and only displays the last 4 digits of the encrypted number as a security and privacy feature and it’s to facilitate returns and refunds.
The last 4 digits of the number are available in the Wallet app.
The last 4
it’s a debit card. and yes i know this. i’m asking if the embedded number that is available in the apple wallet changes if you remove the card from your wallet and re add the same one. and if so if there is anyway to access the old one or some other solution so i can get a refund.
The last 4 digits should stay the same in my experience. The number should only change if the bank changes the account number. When I log out of my Apple ID, all payment methods are removed from Apple Wallet. When the cards are added back into the wallet, the last 4 digits are the same for Apple Pay.
that’s weird. i don’t know what’s happening then. i paid on my phone cause i don’t use my card but the 4 digits on the receipt are different then the embedded number? i have removed it and re added it a few times since the purchase so i thought that could be the issue. same thing has happened before.
The Apple Pay number is unique to each device it’s added to. So, the Apple Pay number is different on my iPhone from my Apple Watch, even though the physical card number is the same.
Some banks have rotating CVV (security code) numbers. I suppose they could do it with the payment number as well. But that would create huge issues with refunds and returns.
Your best resource is the bank that issued the card. Your iPhone and Apple do not retain information about former account numbers etc.
Are you referring to you Apple Card MasterCard account?
