I've seen several threads with people having problems with Apple Pay using a deleted card for subscriptions. But yesterday, I chose my business card from Apple Wallet on my iPhone and yet my personal AMEX card (which I deleted days ago) was charged!
How is this even possible? And how can I prevent it from happening?
Any ideas?
Apple Wallet is a standalone app and looks like image below. It’s used when you make Tap-To-Pay purchases at a merchant’s retail location. Is this where you’re have issues? Many community members confuse Wallet app or Apple Account with the Settings app
Yes, the Apple Wallet is what's giving me problems. I tapped on it, chose my business card to pay at a grocery store checkout, and there was a bit of a delay, but the cashier gave me my receipt and I left. This morning, I was checking my personal AMEX card online and I saw the charge there, even though I had removed that card from my Apple Wallet days ago.
I’m unclear why you mentioned the delay, so that may or may not be relevant.
Are/were either AmEx cards the default card in your Wallet?
How did you delete you AmEx business card?
How are you initiating the transaction in the grocery store? Do you double click the Side Button?
I mentioned the delay, simply because this has happened a few times when I had a different card selected. Usually, when the process works correctly (select the card, hold it over the spot at checkout, double-click), there's a very brief delay and you get a message on the checkout terminal that might say something like "Waiting for Cashier" or something. When the AMEX card was used by Apple Wallet (without my selection) there has been a bit longer of a delay.
The AMEX card was never my default card. A bank Visa card has always been my default card. I deleted my AMEX card by going into Wallet & Apple Pay under settings on my phone and clicking "Remove Card."
To reiterate, I initiate the transaction in the grocery store by tapping on Apple Wallet, selecting the card I want to use, holding it over the designated area on the store checkout terminal, and double-clicking the side button when prompted.
