Apple Pay Cards Removed Automatically

[theBigD23]

I just got two emails from American Express that says my Apple Pay cards were removed. I didn't do anything, it was just automatically received. Did anyone else get this email?

My card was automatically removed when I had to restore my iPhone (for an unrelated reason). I had to add it again.

Mine, too. When I erased everything (release all content and settings) amEx notified my my card was removed.

Same here. After I restored I got the email from a couple of my banks saying the same thing.

Yep.

Clean install, restore install: cards are wiped from device.
Turn off passcodes: cards are wiped from device.

Maybe even when erase all finger prints as well.

Yes, pain in the behind, but a good thing from a security angle.

Actually deleted all my fingerprints today and re-did them, did not wipe my cards.

I think it is a wonderful security feature.

I just received my 6+ last night and I couldn't even add my Amex card without calling it in to them first. Security is great

Logged out of iCloud and had to re-authorize my card.

Interesting. My AmEx card didn't require any extra step. But it is the card linked to my AppleID.

My Chase MC required a validation code that I received by text. Maybe there was an option to call.

The Amex card is not my primary card.

Your cards are invalidated when:

• When the passcode is disabled
• The user logs out of iCloud
• The user selects Erase All Content and Settings
• The device is restored from recovery mode
