I managed to add my HSBC debit card successfully to my phone but I can't get it to register on my watch. I get the same message as before about contacting the card issuer. Has anyone been able to add their HSBC card to their watch. Can anyone help with this.

Added to my watch ok just now but phone won't have it

Ok makes me feel better, must just not have flicked the switch on my account. Will badger them if still not on later today.
Hi. Have tried and it worked. Although trying first time with first direct failed tried again and it did
I'm still having problems adding it to my watch. Maybe their servers are really busy. I'll keep trying when I'm on wi-if and if I'm not able to add it I'll try calling HSBC and Apple when I get back to London.
My standard card works with apple pay on my watch, but not on my phone which is running the iOS 9 public beta. I can add cards through the apple watch app, but not through wallet/passbook.

I have tried both restarting my watch and my phone but it still didn't work. I will try restarting the watch once more.

I also get an error with First Direct debit card, even after restarting.
It is also widely reported on Twitter, so I just called customer support. They have acknowledged there is an issue, and took details from me along the lines of "what device are you using, is the card linked to your iTunes?"
Even with the extra time, they still have issues!

Maybe it's because I'm using a wi-fi hot spot. Although I would have thought the communication between the Apple Watch app on the phone and the watch would be using Bluetooth.
Ah. Good to know I'm not the only one. I guess I will wait for them to fix the issue and try again. I can't use ApplePay at the moment anyway so it's not that big a deal for me.
Got my HSBC one added to watch and phone. Now to find somewhere to use it. Probably Greggs or McDonalds as theyre the only places on the way to work that has contactless where I can get breakfast (Damn you Tesco's!!!) 
How did you get your Costco card in Passbook and does it actually work? Do they accept it?
I don't really get the issue. I have another HSBC card and that has just added to phone and watch with no issue
lots of people are trying to add their HSBC cards but get an error saying "Card cannot be added. Please contact card issuer"
