Participating bank card BUT NOT supported?

What should I do if my card that is supposedly supported by Apple Pay like my Citi (Co-branded) Sears MasterCard gives me the message that "Your Issuer Does Not Yet Offer Support for This Card" when I try to add my card to my passbook?

iPhone 6, iOS 8.1.3

Hi


Apple Pay can be used with supported cards from participating issuers.


The Citi Sears cards is an example of a card that is not currently supported for Apple Pay, even though the issuer is a participating bank:



Apple publishes a list of participating issuers for Canada and the US here (lists for other region can also be accessed via this link):


Apple Pay participating banks in Canada and the United States - Apple Support


Whether or not any specific card is a supported card is a matter for each issuer to decide and advise.

I also have this same problem with the same card (Sears MC issued by Citibank). When I called the representative didn't even understand what I was talking about. They thought I was calling about a charge to my card from iTunes. They had NO CLUE about adding cards to Apple Wallet/Pay. Doesn't anyone train their staff anymore?
