Looks like watchOS 5 saves a transaction list in the Apple Watch app under wallet and Apple Pay under each card just like on the iPhone. That’s handy for keeping track of things!
That's a very welcome addition re: Apple Pay on the Apple Watch and it storing it on iPhone.
It is a shame the support for loyalty cards on iPhone/Watch isn't supported (without using a third party app, when it works) given a lot of retailers are wanting to eliminate the use of plastic; that would be ideal as they wouldn't need to create a replacement and would save on having to carry so many cards around.

Nice find ! I noticed watchOS 5 was sending notifications but didn’t see the list in the watch app. Now all we need is Apple to merge the transaction list on watch, iphone and iPad based on last 4 digits of original card number and specify the device the purchase was made on based on the last 4 digits of the DAN.
Yeah that’s correct, an assistant in the Northampton Sixfields store told me.
Same issues in Leeds too. Hopefully it’ll be sorted soon..
Did you answer and tell them that ApplePay with biometric security is probably far safer than chip and pin?
My bank card expires this month and I have received a new one, do I need to add my new card or will it go on automatically when I start using my new card.
Depends on your bank. Nationwide or American Express will do everything needed behind the scenes. Others (hello, Metro Bank!) don't unfortunately.
Which bank are you with, if we may ask?
Generally most banks update the systems and apple gets the updated card details directly from the bank. I lost my card and when the bank issued a new one my Pay details updated without me being able to do anything. I could use my phone to pay for things even before the physical card actually arrived.
You'll need to input the expiry new date and security code within Apple Pay on the iPhone.
Crikey well I can tell you John Lewis doesn’t. Had the fun of entering it all in twice yesterday (possible compromised website so card cancelled as a precaution).
I’m still trying to get the auto top up card changed in the Starbucks app and getting nowhere
Yep, I have both of my Amex cards setup directly in the wallet - it works fine - but you can do it via the app too.
Whatever process you take the end result will be the same.
Have you ever switched your region to the US?
It's weird, Apple Pay Cash keeps popping up here and there all over Europe, yet no expansion is in sight. You'd assume that Apple would've spoken about it either during WWDC, the last keynote or at the very least the latest earnings call... That's why I assume it's just a bug.
Technically if all the U.K. banks added iMessage app support and Siri support for their banks you could send and receive payments directly between people using the UK paym system based on phone number, all main banks are signed up to it and it would fit into iMessage quite well. Having said that, Apple Pay cash, as a brand like PayPal, will probably catch on quickly due to the iPhone popularity in the U.K. I hope we do get it soon.
No region switch. As you say, I suspect it is a bug. Wish they’d get on and implement it in the UK.
