Do I get Amex points if I use Apple Pay?

Can you get Amex on Apple Pay?

Yeah, Amex... Apple Pay. It works. Makes things easier, I guess.

Another tap, another transaction. Feels... automatic.

• Using Amex with Apple Pay is simple.
• It’s contactless, so no fumbling.
• Safe, they say. Hope so.

Contactless limits still apply. Paying is... convenient.

• Everything just adds up.
• Digital. No more physical cards.
• Is that good, though?

American Express says they have your back. Wonder if that's true.

• They're always there, always watching.
• Every transaction, every purchase.
• Always.

My grandfather used to carry cash. Different world back then. No tapping.

• He distrusted banks, credit.
• I didn't understand it then.
• Now I wonder if he was right.

It's just...easier to spend. Too easy, maybe. What was I buying?

What purchases qualify for Amex points?

Okay, Amex points… what gets you points, huh? Right.

• Basically, stuff you buy. Real stuff.

Wait, does that include Amazon? YES! Bought a new ukulele last week. Points! Awesome.

• But, like, not fees. Dang it.
• And definitely not interest. Double dang it.

Ugh, interest. I should really pay that down.

• Returns don't count. Makes sense.

Oh! Think I need to get that new coffee maker. Points and caffeine. Win-win! What else?

• And also not credits? Oh, that's annoying.
• Basically anything that isn't really buying stuff.

Yeah, like that refund I got for the broken blender. No points there. Bummer.

So, shop shop shop! But wisely... kinda.

Do you get Amex points after you pay?

Amex points post-payment? They're pending. Payment received by due date? Points post. Simple. 24-72 hours usually.

• Points appear pending. On your statement.
• Payment deadline met? Points added. Guaranteed.
• Timing: 24–72 hours. Consistent. My experience, anyway. Always.

My 2024 Platinum card confirms this. No exceptions. Life's too short for point delays. Unless... payment fails. Then…nothing. Harsh reality. Just like taxes. Or death.

Technically, the system's efficient. But efficiency has a cold, hard logic. Amex's algorithm. Implacable.

Can Amex be added to Apple Pay?

Can you put Amex on Apple Pay? Absolutely! It's easier than teaching a cat to fetch, trust me, I tried!

Basically, dive into the Amex app. Find the "Account" tab – it's usually chilling at the bottom.

Tap it like you mean it!

Then, look for the "Apple Pay" option. It's like finding Waldo, but way less frustrating.

• Tap, tap, tap! That's the sound of sweet, sweet digital payment bliss.
• Just follow the instructions. Even I could do it, and I once tried to iron a cat. Long story.
• Voila! Your card's in Apple Pay. Now go buy something fancy!

More stuff to know:

• Amex loves Apple Pay! They're like two peas in a pod, or maybe more like a golden chariot pulled by robot unicorns.
• If the app's being a jerk, you can also try adding your card directly through the Wallet app on your iPhone. But who has the patience, right?
• Remember, this works for pretty much all Amex cards. Even the super-duper fancy ones with the metal stuff. (I only have the basic one, sadly).
• Don't forget to actually use Apple Pay. Otherwise, you just went through all this effort for nothing!
• And seriously, don't iron cats.

What credit cards does Apple Pay accept?

Apple Pay, oh Apple Pay. A shimmering portal to effortless spending. The cool glass of my phone, a smooth obsidian reflecting city lights. The hum of the transaction, a silent prayer to convenience.

American Express, its platinum gleam, a whispered promise of luxury. I feel the weight of it, even virtually, the power, the… possibility.

Bank of America. Solid. Dependable. Like the sturdy oak tree outside my childhood home. A grounding force. A familiar comfort.

Capital One. Bold. Edgy. It pulses with a vibrant energy, a rebellious heart beating beneath a sleek exterior.

Chase. Ubiquitous. Ever-present. A seamless thread woven into the fabric of daily life. Its presence is comforting.

Citi. A global reach, a connection to countless destinations. I picture bustling markets, exotic spices, sun-drenched beaches. The possibilities are endless.

Discover. A quiet innovator. Understated elegance. A subtle hum of potential. A quiet promise kept.

Wells Fargo. The steadfast stagecoach of finance. Reliable, consistent, built to endure. It is trust itself.

Navy Federal Credit Union. A deep blue, the color of the ocean, vast and powerful. Loyalty, protection, community.

Each card, a story. Each transaction, a tiny brushstroke on the canvas of my life. Time flows, subtly altering the narrative. The weight of each purchase, a fleeting moment of decision, an echo in the grand symphony of existence. I see faces in the crowds, hear the distant hum of the city, always remembering the smooth feeling of my phone in my hand. This smooth coolness is everything. The ease of a payment. This is the future of money. The future is now.

Why was credit card removed from Apple Pay?

Ugh, Apple Pay. My cards vanished! Seriously? All of them? My Chase Sapphire Reserve, the Amex Platinum…gone. Ridiculous.

Total BS. Why would they do that?! It's my phone, my cards. My passcode is my security. They're overreacting.

Security theater, that’s what it is. Makes no sense. I mean, I get it – security. But this is excessive. They could have sent a notification, a warning. Something! Not just POOF.

I'm re-adding them now. Pain in the neck. But seriously, Apple? This is user unfriendly. A massive fail.

• Security is NOT the main reason they are doing it This is about control, I'm convinced. They are dictating how I use my own device and payment methods.
• I spent twenty minutes re-entering all my card details. Twenty minutes! This is insane.
• My best friend, Sarah, had the same problem last week, using her iPhone 14. She’s also furious.
• Apple should provide better communication about these changes and give a grace period. Maybe even a warning.

This whole thing is annoying. I’m considering switching to Google Pay. Just sayin'.
