Discover credit card Apple Pay decline

Did you see the transaction terminal say declined or did the merchant tell you something? If you actually saw the decline message on the terminal, Discover declined it. If the terminal generated an error message, it was an issue with the merchant’s network, merchant’s credit card processor or Payment Network Operator, which is again Discover.

Does the decline show in your Discover Card in your Wallet app on your iPhone?

If you saw the decline in your Wallet app, that came from Discover. Apple Pay cannot add transactions to Apple Wallet. You talked to an inexperienced customer service representative. Call Discover back or ask for a supervisor to find out more information.

Sorry, to give you a sort of runaround, I know how frustrating it can be. But the fact that it’s an actual decline and appears in your Wallet transactions leaves no other options.

Apple is not a bank and cannot approve or decline a transaction. Only the issuing bank (Discover) can approve or decline a transaction. What did Discover say when you contacted their support team?

You’re welcome and I hope you have a great weekend!
