Delete from the phone, do watch first.

A lot of cards seem to have trouble prompting the activation process for the watch if they’re already activated on the phone. That’s the remedy if that’s the cause of the problem.

@N26throwaway this worked, thanks a million! :raised_hands:

Is this an Apple issue or a bank issue?

Bank side, I’m pretty sure!

It’s only ever affected a handful of cards, but it’s pretty consistent. Chase explained why it happened back in the day, so I’ll try to find it. They were my first experience with that issue.

So @TomMills still needs to speak to colleagues but more so to dig out why Monzo cards have this issue. (Thanks Tom by the way!)

The newest Monzo / Apple Pay annoyance. It’ll just lead to me not adding any Monzo cards to Apple Pay the next time I need to – I probably had 10 or so of these notifications since @N26throwaway helped me set up Flex on my Watch.

It’s unsolicited, needy, spammy behaviour.

I had the same from RBS. I set up my Child & Co. card on my new 15 PM, then got “finish setting up your card with Apple Pay” texts every day at 8am for about a week.

No worries. The cards team have found an issue with how we validate requests to add cards to Apple Pay when there are multiple pending requests. They’re working on a fix :pray:

Thanks for flagging.

If you’re doing this through the Balance tab on trends, go to the cards you’re using to account for your balance and de-select Flex

I’ve posted separately about trying to switch my Flex repayment back to the default, which is when flex automatically works out how much you’re repaying on each individual category. I changed it to ‘transfer’ a few months ago and as a result I was massively miscalculating my budget! Any advice on how to switch back highly appreciated.

2nd November 2022, was when the 6 months interest free Flex offer was announced. Wonder if we’ll get the same this year!

I’m afraid not - no offer this year (other than interest free when you pay in 3 monthly payments :wink:)

Sad. Guess I won’t be getting that new 77" TV this year then!
