How to setup the Altitude Reserve as your default Apple Pay card

Here’s a quick tutorial for setting up the Altitude Reserve Card with Apple Pay.  Since the card offers 3 points per dollar for mobile wallet payments, you’ll want it to be your default card…

1. Add Altitude Reserve to your iPhone Wallet

If your iPhone supports Apple Pay, then the Wallet app will be on your phone already.  Find Wallet and open it (saying “Hey Siri, open Wallet” should do the trick).  Then click the plus symbol in the top right corner to add a credit card to your Wallet.
