Apple Pay - Card Device Limit

So here's a weird one.

I have been trying to add my credit card back into Apple Pay after doing some restores etc. Previously it just said that the card couldn't be added, but didn't give a reason. Now, it appears that there is a "Card Device Limit" (see the screenshot). I searched like crazy, but didn't find anyone else who had/has this issue.

I am assuming the card registration process somehow ties the card to the device or software installation, but I don't see where to remove them.

Has anyone had this happen?

Did you ever solve this problem? Currently experiencing the same thing. I did a few resets on an iPad and the cards were removed (per the email) but I’m getting the “card device limit.” My bank Chase was no help at all.

You can only store up to eight credit/debit cards, so it is possible you've reached this limit?

I only have one card currently in my Wallet. I think it is seeing the card tied to previous iOS installations, somewhere on the backend.

Hi Adam,

Apparently if you go to www.icloud.com login and choose "Settings->My Devices" you can delete card details there.

Hope this helps.

Hi Steve. Thanks for the reply.

The card doesn't show up on any of my devices. Oh well, I have another card I can use for now.

I'll leave this up in case anyone gets a resolution or runs into the same issue.

I’m having the same issue with my Chase card.

I have this same problem. I have "retired" several Apple devices and no longer see them in iCloud, but am still having this problem.

Hey guys, has anyone contacted iTunes yet to check with them?

I may try tomorrow. If so, will update

In the meantime, if anyone finds out more info, that'd be great (:
