As an iPhone user I was happy that I would be able to carry fewer cards in my wallet while still being able to pay at most places. As I've started loading my cards into Apple Pay I noticed that there is a non-publicized 8 card limit. It simply won't allow you to add another card after you get to 8. For now I still have seen nothing about this in any of Apple's own documentation.
For those of us in the points and miles world who actually use multiple cards in order to earn points in various categories, it is quite common to have more than 8 cards that you actually use in a given month.
Has anyone else had this experience?
While I do think that the convenience of contactless payment is great, and Apple getting into this game will only serve to help all the other players (softcard and google wallet), I am disappointed in this particular "feature". Hopefully they will remove the limit or at least explain why it is in place at all.
What do you all think?
