Q: My new Mini4 denies my credit card...
New Mini4 required me to verify credit card info that was pulled from my old Mini. It demands that I provide a "security code" but it insists that my card is invalid. Is the security code the 3digit number on the back of card? Same card worked fine on old Mini. The device apparently will allow me to set up Apple Wallet using my credit card but I'm afraid that will convert my device into a mobile credit card. I do NOT want that. Help?

Hi
The security code for an American Express card is the 4-digit code on the front of the card, towards the upper-right corner. For other cards, it is the last 3 digits on the signature strip.
Setting up Apple Pay on your iPad Mini would add the option for you to pay using Apple Pay within apps that offer this payment option.
It would not enable you to use your iPad Mini to pay within stores (this feature requires an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus or later).
