I would like Apple Card to be the default card for Apple Pay.

Under Transaction Defaults I have Apple Card listed as the default.

Whenever I go to use Apple Pay on my Apple Watch it goes to use my Apple Cash, which only has a few dollars in it, so it fails for insufficient funds.

What am I doing wrong?

You could try checking under your AppleID then Payment & Shipping options to make sure the Apple Card is default.

In the Apple Watch app on your phone, go to General > Wallet & Apple Pay and scroll down ... below the list of cards there's a section titled TRANSACTION DEFAULTS. Make sure your Apple Card (or other card of your choosing) is listed as the Default Card.

On which device? Sounds like maybe you set it as the default card on your iPhone, but not on your watch. Each device can have their own default card. Make sure you also set it as the default card through the Watch app on the iPhone.

Yep, that was it. Thanks!
