If you receive the message “Contact card issuer” when trying to add your Glede gift card to Apple Wallet, it means that Apple is performing an extra verification before the card can be added. This happens for security reasons and is often the case when:

Your device hasn’t been fully approved for Wallet use yet
✅ What can you do?
Wait 3–4 days and try again
In most cases, the card can be added normally after a short period of time.Restart your phone
This can help your device refresh its system status.Temporarily change your region and switch back

We recommend transferring the gift card to another phone number, for example a friend or partner, so you can use it there. You can read here how to do that.
