Frequent Miler's latest team challenge, Million Mile Madness, is happening now! Follow us as Greg, Nick, and Stephen compete to earn 1 Million SAS miles by flying 15 airlines before November 23rd. Who will complete the challenge with the most Speed, Affordability, and Style?

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.

2. Make the Altitude your default card

After adding the Altitude card to your wallet, go to your phone’s Settings (“Hey Siri, open Settings”), then scroll down and select “Wallet & Apple Pay”:

Within Wallet & Apple Pay settings, scroll down and select “Default Card”.  Select the Altitude Reserve as your default card.
