I'm using Apple Pay and I recently canceled my card. Interesting thing is that even before I had my new card Apple Pay switched to the new one, I didn't have to do anything. I wonder how they did that.

Credit cards send updated card information to various merchants that you've used. Usually it's for things like subscriptions or bills so you don't have a gap in service. Personally I hate it because it lets smaller stuff slip through the cracks for longer.

Yeah. Google Pay works the same way.

There is no reason why Apple Pay should be linked to a physical card at all - they can and should work completely independently.

I also had this happen. I was pleasantly surprised. Apple Pay is easier than it used to be when it comes to registering cards too.
