    Is your device on iOS 9? Also, is the card supported?

    Is the card supported? Use Wallet on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

    Use a rewards card with Apple Pay

    At participating stores, you can easily receive or redeem rewards using Apple Pay. Add a rewards card to Wallet and use it when you pay with Apple Pay.

    • If you turned on Automatic Selection on the pass, place your finger on Touch ID and hold your iPhone near the contactless reader when asked by the cashier or the terminal.
    • If you didn't turn on Automatic Selection on the respective rewards pass, open the Wallet app. If your iPhone is locked, you can quickly open Wallet by double-clicking the Home button. Tap the rewards pass you want to use, then place your finger on Touch ID and hold your iPhone near the contactless reader.

    Your rewards card will be applied to the purchase, and payment will be made using your default payment card with Apple Pay. Some merchant terminals might be set up to request your rewards card separately from payment. At these merchants, only your rewards information will be applied at first, then you can pay using Apple Pay after the cashier or terminal requests payment.

    I can't add/create a new entry into Wallet for a loyalty card (bar code). I use to be able to do this only a few months ago. What happened? 

     

    After spending an hour researching online, I have concluded that Apple has fundamentally changed the functionality of "Passbook" as of Oct. 30th 2015 and relaunched it as "Wallet", which is not nearly as comprehensive. Use Wallet on your iPhone or iPod touch - Apple Support   I guess Passbook wasn't making enough money on loyalty cards, etc, so it got an overhaul with the Apple "Pay" roll out in 2015 and a rebranding as "Wallet". Wallet will no longer support any 1d barcode systems that are currently common with most loyalty rewards cards. (https://www.passsource.com/info/)  Wallet also does not allow any manual entry or management. Wallet is still grandfathering in any old cards, with no comment on how long that will last, but it seems clear they will discontinue this as quickly as possible. I looked for a work-around like https://www.passsource.com/, but no luck.

     

    Has anyone found a way to work-around this problem?
