Can't get Garmin Pay to work... "Wallet is disabled. Enable in Garmin Connect Mobile"

Hi, I've bought the Garmin Fenix 6 Sapphire and was going through setup configuration. Successfully added my debit card (which is supported, I checked) through Garmin Connect mobile app.

Now when i click the "wallet" control on the watch in order to use garmin pay for the first time, this message appears: "Wallet is disabled. Enable in Garmin Connect Mobile".

I go back to the app and everything is ok and card is activated, can't understand what is wrong. Can someone help, please?

1. I resolved the above issue by selecting the card in Garmin Connect App and selecting ‘Suspend Card’. Then re-enabled it and it worked

Hi Riclob77, i had the same issue.

On my side, it works deleting the card and then, adding again but, following this app path:
Garmin Connect -> Enter on your device (top icon) -> Garmin Pay -> Then ADD CARD.

I my case, first time i added via

Garmin Connect -> More menu -> Garmin Pay ->ADD CARD and this did not work.

hope it helps.

Thanks,

The way you described is working for me.

I had the same issue but I added the card the "right" way from the first try. I removed the card and added it once again and now everything worked.

Seems the card addition flow just doesn't work sometimes, no matter the way it was accessed.

This approach worked for me too (deleting my card and then re-adding). Thanks guys!

I had this happen, as well. If you don't want to repeat your steps "the right way," the way that I did it was Garmin Connect > Garmin Pay > Click on the Card itself > Verify card > Receive a text to your phone with Security code > Paste Code > Done

Part of Adding the card is verifying that it's you who is using it. There is a final security step AFTER adding card.
