Ask HN: Why can’t you revoke Apple Pay authorisations
I use Apple Pay a lot. It is incredibly handy and I am glad that its presence has lead to a lot more retailers, brick and mortar and online, handling alternative payment methods.
However, I recently used my Apple Pay on a service which stores your payment details for further processing. I thought it was a bit strange as usually you have to authorise each Apple Pay payment each time. I then went to buy something else from their store and the payment went through without any manual intervention.
How is this possible? How can I mitigate it?

- japanman425 4y agoIn Apple Pay? How do you do that? Bear in mind I’m in the UK Ah I see this is Apple Card. What I mean is with cards registered in the wallet.
- neximo64 4y agoThats a pre-authorization. You can't cancel it other if it was a fraudulent transaction.
