Discover Dropping Two Apple Wallet Features

Source: MacRumors

Discover is planning to eliminate some of the Apple Wallet integrations that it introduced in 2023, according to letters that cardholders are receiving. As of June 4, 2026, Discover users will no longer be able to see their total card balance and transaction history in the iPhone’s Wallet app, or use the Pay with Rewards feature in Apple Pay.

Apple’s Connected Cards feature allows credit cards from participating companies to display balances and recent transactions when added to the Wallet app. Discover has supported this feature for nearly three years, as have many UK banks, but other U.S. credit‑card issuers have not added support.

Pay with Rewards, which is also being eliminated, allowed Discover cardholders to use their cashback bonuses toward Apple Pay purchases.

Discover says that while several Apple Pay features are being removed, users will still be able to use their Discover card for Apple Pay purchases in retail locations and online.

Changes

• Enrollment Cancellation – If applicable, your enrollment in Connected Account and Pay with Rewards with Apple Pay from Discover will be canceled on June 4, 2026.
• Access to Information – You will continue to have full access to your account, rewards, balances, transactions, and payments on Discover.com, the Discover mobile app, and on your monthly statements. Starting June 4, 2026, you will no longer have access to such details within your Apple Wallet, though Apple Pay transactions will still appear in the wallet.
• Pay with Rewards – Starting June 4, 2026, you will no longer be able to use rewards to cover an Apple Pay purchase directly at digital checkout. Your other options for redeeming Discover rewards remain unchanged.
• Terms – Cancellation of Connected Accounts and Pay with Rewards with Apple Pay does not affect any other terms of your Discover accounts and agreements. Eligibility, service, and cancellation are subject to the Apple Pay terms.

It is not clear whether these features are being eliminated because Apple is ending the integrations or because Discover is opting out. The changes will go into effect on June 4, 2026.
