It’s time to talk about today’s Apple Pay experience.
We made a trip to BM today to return a dysfunctional light. I had tried the same thing just two days previous but failed because I didn’t have a card with the correct last four digits. I guessed it must be one of my wife’s cards instead so I had to return home and try again another day.

Luckily my wife only has the one card on her phone and we tried hers first – and it worked, so no stress. But would there be a problem if you have more than one card on the phone? Would you be able to find which card was used? Or is it all taken care of automagically by the powers at Apple? This is not mentioned on the Apple website.
