Hello,
Does anyone know if I can use apple pay with my existing uber account? I went into payment options and there's an option for apple pay card which I have set up already but when I go into it on my uber account it just says apple pay card and then when I double tap on it there's nothing in there.

Hello, Troy,

The buggaboo is that the Apple Pay card has to be activated. Go into the Wallet app on your iDevice, and make sure that the card is activated. You'll have to call your financial institution with a number which they give you, and some shmo will have to verify the thing. It's a bit tedious, but as the subject says, I do it all the time. In fact, I just did it today.

Mine doesn't work, though my problem is different. I know the Apple Pay card itself works fine, but when I try to use it with Uber it gives me an error that says:
Apple Pay is not valid for this product.
I got sick of messing about with it so I just linked Uber to PayPal which works every time.
