Q: apple watch will not allow addition of credit cards to apple pay

Has anyone had a problem with apple pay on the apple watch?  All of my cards were accepted on my watch until I upgraded to a 6s.  When I did this the cards can no longer be added to the apple watch.  The only card that will work is my bank card.  I have contacted apple, been to the genius bar, and contacted my cc representatives; but to no avail. 

Apple Watch, watchOS 2.2

    I have a similar problem.  I am running OS 2.2.  While a card is used as the default card in the iPhone (iPhone 6), I cannot add it to the Watch, despite numbers attempts of preparing the two, setting up the watch as new, etc.  I have also deleted the card from the iPhone and re-added, still it won't add.  I contacted the bank issuing the card and was told that my account is good, there is no problem at their end.  Indeed, ApplePay with that card works in the Phone.  Help!!!

    I would add that only the Master card issued by US Bank has this problem.  My visa and Am Ex do not.

    This turns out to be an issue with US bank that they did not activate the Apple Pay properly.  My problem has been solved after talking to the right rep on the phone.
