PSA: ApplePay **DOES NOT WORK** with Chase IHG Rewards Select, Premier, or Business Credit Cards [Partially Resolved]

Share this post

Updated at 6:15pm PT on 2/6/23: This evening, I was able to add my Chase IHG Select Credit Card and Chase IHG Premier Credit Card to ApplePay, but I was not able to add my Chase IHG Business Credit Card.  My friend is still not able to add either of the personal IHG credit cards.

Good afternoon everyone, I hope your week is off to a great start.  Earlier today, I noticed a great Chase Offer on several Chase credit cards for $5 off a $10 restaurant purchase.  I added the Chase Offer to all my eligible Chase credit cards, including my Chase IHG Select Credit Card (no longer available) and Chase IHG Rewards Premier Credit Card.  I don’t carry all of my credit cards with me, so I planned on adding those 2 Chase IHG credit cards to my ApplePay Wallet.  Unfortunately, after several attempts and after speaking with a few Chase phone reps, I learned that the personal IHG credit cards and the Chase IHG Rewards Premier Business Credit Card do not work on ApplePay.

If you go through the ApplePay steps to add the Chase IHG credit cards, you will get an error message that says “Your Issuer Does Not Yet Offer Support for This Card.”  Clicking the Learn More button brings up a list of 1,000+ banks that support ApplePay, including Chase.  I also noticed that ApplePay works for my Chase Ink Plus Business Credit Card but not for my Chase Ink Cash Business Credit Card.  A friend of mine with the same credit cards had the same error adding his IHG and Ink Cash cards to ApplePay.

I wish I had a solution to this problem, but it seems to be a Chase, IHG, and ApplePay issue that those 3 companies will need to resolve.  If you have successfully added your Chase IHG credit cards to ApplePay, please let me know and how you did it.  If you have any questions about ApplePay, please leave a comment below.  Have a great day everyone.

    I had the card (select) added to my wallet, at some point it was deleted and this error came up when trying to add it again. After seeing this article I tried to add it again and was able to.

      Hi Jesus, I just tried to add my IHG Select CC to ApplePay and it worked. Not sure why it didn’t work earlier. Let me update this post.

      Hi Enotty, I just tried to add my IHG Premier CC to ApplePay and it worked. Not sure why it didn’t work earlier. Still no luck on the IHG Business CC. Let me update this post.

      Hi Mike, you probably need to wait for the card to arrive and then activate the card before you can add it to your ApplePay Wallet.
