Store a Wide Range of Items in Your Apple Wallet App
Apple Wallet stores a range of digital payment options and other paperless items, including credit and debit cards, rewards cards, store coupons and offers, boarding passes, movie tickets, gift cards, student IDs (for select campuses), and more. Cards other than credit or debit cards are called passes. Passes include information such as your gift card balance, expiration dates, seat numbers for concerts and flights, how many rewards you have for a retailer, and more.
How to Add Passes to the Apple Wallet App
To use Apple Wallet, add the important passes you like to use from your device. There are several ways to add passes. Add passes from within Wallet by tapping Edit Passes and then scanning a loyalty, reward, coupon, or gift card. Or, select Find Apps for Wallet and see a list of gift cards, coupons, and rewards from retailers that use Wallet. Add passes by tapping wallet notifications after paying with Apple Pay, sharing through AirDrop, in Mail or Messages, or from a Mac or web browser. Add passes to your Wallet during a transaction. For example, Delta allows you to add your boarding pass to your Wallet after you check in for your flight.

Use a Boarding Pass
Some airlines, including Delta and American Airlines, allow you to save your boarding pass to your Apple Wallet after you check in. You don’t have to carry your physical boarding pass with you. Other passes, such as movie or concert tickets and IDs, work the same way.
How to Remove a Pass From Your Wallet
Whether you used the last of a gift card or a coupon expired, there’s an easy way to remove passes from your Wallet.
Add a Credit Card to Apple Wallet
Besides the ability to track and keep passes in your Wallet, the app also allows you to store your credit and debit card information to be used in conjunction with Apple Pay. Add new cards to your Wallet and use those cards to make mobile payments online or in-person wherever Apple Pay is accepted. Here’s how to add a credit or debit card:
