SandBox with AMEX cards not working as expected

Hello,

I am seeking help to use AMEX cards provided in https://developer.apple.com/apple-pay/sandbox-testing/ and add them to apple pay/wallet and have them authorised to be used in app with the sandbox account that I am using, can you help?

Issue detailed: It seems that the AMEX cards that are provided in the sandbox link can only be added to the SANDBOX account wallet and shortly after they get removed form it then marked as Unavailable after an attempt to get authorised

Please see screenshots of adding a AMEX card, Added & then Activating and after unavailable

All these cards have the same issue and are Amex the last on the list you can see in the first picture is saying activation and in the picture under Unavailable.

Pre-Conditions to set account and wallet & reproduce

  • Should have a SandBox account
  • The Sandbox users is set in US
  • The region of the device is set to US
  • The card that is attempted to be added is AMEX from the provided list
  • iOS versions 17.4.1 to 17.6 version possibly earlier too
  • Device iPhone 11 and others

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open wallet
  2. Tap on Add Card
  3. Add the Required test data Name/Card/ Date and CID
  4. Tap on Agree & wait
  5. Then Card is added
  6. Wait for the process and for the card to be activated

Actual Result 1.The card is never shown as activated instead its marked as Unavailable 2. Amex Cant be added as a Default card assuming because its marked as Unavailable

Expected Result

  1. The Amex card can be added and activated for use
  2. Set as default should possibly not be a problem

Extra: if the user is using AMEX card from previous cards that are saved the card can get stuck on Activating.
