Because you are supposed to want to use Apple Pay! :D

Are you doing it with the Apple Card or just Apple Pay?

With Apple it is different due to the depth of integration with the ecosystem, and also it is a credit card, not a debit card.

It seems the credit card providers would have an anti-incentive to provide this kind of consumer friendly functionality. Maybe Apple's card does? Any first-hand accounts?

It's understandable in the context of Apple Pay I think.

elliekelly • Dec 20, 2019 • View on HN

Any idea why Apple Pay is specifically excluded?

addicted • Dec 24, 2020 • View on HN

For the customers who want it, wouldn’t simply using Apple Pay resolve this?

There is no friction to use it, Apple already has the credit card info. Paypal should be scared.

You've got to use an Apple Card. Don't you understand?

Isn't this what Apple pay basically does?
