Never ceases to amaze me how many fools will rush to judgement on issues like this without ANY Facts.. CNN couldn't report its way out of a wet paper bag. They can't be trusted to look out a window, see its daytime and report it correctly.

Whatever bank holds your credit card account will have to write software to process the payments. You should hope your bank learns from B of A's mistake, but it's possible for them to screw it up another way.
Never ends, I can't believe the deep hate of Apple from a small group of people or, Android and Samsung???
This is 100% Bank of America's fault. The cesspool of the financial industry knows no bounds when it comes to incompetence.
my comment really had nothing to do with Apple or Bank of America and everything to do with MacRumors attempt to create bigger news out of something not quite as huge as the title implied.
in other news, i just tried two BofA cards and a Capital One card on a Pepsi machine and they were all declined using ApplePay. no issues swiping the one i ended up using.
Do you want to report what it was like a few days after Google Wallet was released?
There were far worse problems with Google Wallet including severe issues where credit card numbers were compromised.
But, hey, it's Google, not Apple, so don't complain about them, right?
I believe what you are seeing is one email telling you the first one was deleted. Then another email when you add it back with the new virtual number. At least thats how mine has worked.
Are you ranting? Trollling? Can't read? Failure of the educational system? B of A admitted fault and even stated that Apple Pay had nothing to do with the glitch. What more proof do you need?
It has been proved to be BoA issue but haters still posting non sense.... Amazing.
Never had issue with Google wallet? Nobody use it...
I confess it is my fault.
I also planted the camera for the Hulk Hogan sex tape. It was me all along!
I knew it! How have you been? Staying out of trouble?
Close. BofA (the renamed Bank of Italy) has a very sortied past. Love to know how long it will take for these double billings to correct.

lol
That's a Appl-ey thing to say.. It's not like Apple hasn't it's fair share of problems either. But this is MR, so i suppose we must

There are no bad clicks.
Maybe so, but I'd be surprised if Apple doesn't dedicate any resources to helping BoA fix the problem. Even if it's BoA who made the mistakes, it's in Apple's best interest (as well as BoA's) that the problem be solved as quickly as possible.
I tried buying $21 worth of stuff at Home Depot using Apple Pay. It declined the transaction but still double charged me. I guess Home Depots NFC readers don't work with Apple Pay. Called BofA and they said the processing charges should go away and put the money back into my account.
Again, as the monkey in the middle, it is up to Apple to insure that everything is set up properly before launch. That includes making sure that the client side of things is set up properly to receive the transaction properly. Just because Bank of America says it was on their side, does not mean that Apple properly insured that all the pieces were properly in place.
When I had my business, even if something went wrong on my end, it was still because the company who set up the method of charging the customers credit cards made a mistake in the implementation. It was their job to make sure that all the pieces were in place and working properly throughout the whole chain before I ran anyone's card through the system.
But, in the end, even if it went wrong, I still had to refund the money if there was a double charge, because it ended up in my account regardless of the fact that it was an error in the software that processed the transaction (software written by the monkey in the middle to handle the transaction).
