Apple Pay Cash Now Available for iOS 11.2 Users

My bank doesn't yet offer debit card integration yet (coming Q1-18). I have my CCs on Apple Pay, but these do not work with Pay Cash. Is anyone in my boat who's come up with a solution?

Well, CC’s should work with Apple Pay Cash, you’ll just be eating that 3% fee on every transaction. This is why I added my debit card to Apple Pay in anticipation for this. Even though I use a CC for literally everything (and pay it off each month - the important part), no way in hell am I paying a nonsensical fee just to send money to a friend. I just don’t get the points if I use the debit card. First world problems...

I am unable to add funds without a debit card added to Apple Pay.

Interesting, either they changed this to require a debit card or they may not have rolled out that capability yet. Hell, I’m in the same boat as most people here where the toggle for APC has disappeared.

It’s the middle-men. Sending money via Apple Pay incurs costs on the person sending the money just like a pre-paid card. That’s throwing away money for convenience. And if I owe someone money, why would I give them a pre-paid card? I would tell them I’d pay them tomorrow and get the cash for them tomorrow. If someone I would borrow from wouldn’t trust me at my word I wouldn’t borrow from them.

Unless you're using a credit card to pay someone via apple pay cash, there is no cost involved.
 
It's showing up on my iPad Pro but not on iPhone 8 Plus. Odd. I was able to set it up with no problems yet after restarting iPhone still nothing.

Has anyone who originally had the toggle but then it disappeared manage to get the toggle back again and successfully activate Apple Pay Cash?

Ditto to this. Mine wasn’t activating, and thought toggling it off an on would fix it. Well toggling it off made the damn thing disappear, and I’ve rebooted and still not showing again.

I did that and while Apple Pay Cash came up in the setting and I toggled it and input my password, it stated that it wasn't available. So, nope, not available.

I feel like I'm trying to order the iPhone X again. Last time it took 15 minutes longer here on the East Coast for the Apple Store to even work on my iPhone and iPad.

I restarted phone and quit settings app and I have no toggle at all. Others are actually getting toggle and Apple Pay Cash to work for them. I'll just try tomorrow.
 
I’m guessing that APC wasn’t really supposed to release publicly until tomorrow, and today was supposed to be considered a public test just to see if activations on select people (Apple employees and iOS beta testers/devs) would work with personal/non-Apple sanctioned devices. Unfortunately since they released 11.2 the other day, that internal-public test became a public-public test, and Apple has pulled the plug for now (hence why everybody’s activation buttons are disappearing).
