Q: Apple Pay & Rewards Cards
We're supposed to be able to add rewards cards to Apple Pay, but what rewards cards, exactly, are eligible? Does it have to be an actual payment method that has some sort of rewards/perks associated with it? Or can it be a standalone rewards card, i.e. the cashier scans it and a discount is applied to your purchase? I'm trying to add the latter, without success. Using the camera method, it is not accepted even when the card is centered in the viewfinder, and using the manual method of entering the card number, it says that the card is not from an issuer that supports Apple Pay. In the list of supported cards, it only shows actual banks, not a single merchant with a rewards program.

My Walgreens card is in my Wallet, but it is not actually part of Apple Pay. It is listed under "Passes" instead of Pay, just like my Starbuck's card is. That is the only one I know of. At the bottom of the bank list Apple Pay participating banks and store cards - Apple Support It shows Kohl's department store card as one. I've not been able to load anything else. I've not seen a list anywhere either.
