Why won't my Vanilla gift card work on Apple Pay?
You'll want to make sure you're adding a credit or debit card, and that the card is from a bank that supports Apple Pay. If you're unable to add the card directly in the Wallet app, you'll also want to check the app of your bank. With some banks you'll need to add the card to the Wallet app directly through their app.
