I'm a longtime Mac user, first on-boarding to the platform in 1986. But I'm a recent customer for iPhone, having bought a third-generation iPhone SE in the Spring of 2022.
MY HARDWARE:
iMac late-2013 (MacOS Mojave)
M1 Mac Mini (MacOS Sonoma 14.1)
iPhone SE 3 (iOS 16.6.1)
iPad Mini 2 (iOS 12.4.7)
other family members in our household also use Macs of varying vintage; our AppleID accounts are cojoined as a "family" to share purchases. We recently set up the "family")
My question is about Apple's iPhone "Wallet" and the AppleID accounts.
I may have set up my AppleID (and, I assume, the "family") to be connected to the family bank account's debit card. I am not sure if my iPhone's wallet is set up yet.
The family debit card was shut down recently by the bank over a security issue (suspicious purchase, which we did not allow). The bank issued another edbit card, but that took over a week to get to us.
Questions:
1: how do I check my iPhone's wallet to see if the invalidated debit card is stored there? How do I change to the newly-issued debit card?
2: How do I check the AppleID / "family" to see if the invalidated debit card is stored there? How do I change to the newly-issued debit card?
3: I already configured the McDonald's app (and possibly other stores/ restaurants) to tap that old debit card. How do I check that, and how do I point them to the new card?
4: While I'm at it, I thought I would ask about the Apple credit card. How hard is it to activate one? Can a consumer with an Apple Card buy refurbished goods off of the Apple Store? Is there any security advantage to an Apple Card?
5: The most common places where the family debit card is used are big corporate retail chains, like Aldi, Walmart, Country Fair (gas station/convenience store), the U.S. Postal Service, Tractor Supply, Inc., and occasionally Amazon's web-stores. (Rarely used on eBay; no purchases there recently.) We keep having to call the bank to have the card replaced; this is the third of fourth time in the last twelve months. Is there a way to find a credit card and/or debit card with greater security/less hassle?
Thanks in advance.
