    Hi Lisa

     

    When paying just by presenting your iPhone to the contactless reader, your default card will be used automatically.

     

    To choose which card is your default card, go to Settings > Wallet & Apple Pay > select a card under Default Card (under the heading Transaction Defaults).

     

    If you would prefer to use a different card for any given transaction, you can prepare your iPhone in advance:

     

    • Double-click the Home button (or open Wallet if you do not have that shortcut method enabled) > select your preferred card > place your finger on the Touch ID sensor until you see "Hold Near Reader to Pay"
      • To enable the double-click shortcut, turn on the setting in Settings > Wallet & Apple Pay.
    • You then have 60 seconds to pay using that card by holding the top of your iPhone near the contactless reader.
    • During this time, you do not need to keep your finger on the Touch ID sensor or to place it there again.
