Hi everyone,
I'm facing a major problem with my recent order for a MacBook Air. This morning, I placed the order using Apple Pay and received a confirmation email, plus the payment was taken from my account. However, just three hours later, I got a notification saying my payment method was invalid and needed verification.
The issue is that the last few digits of the card mentioned in the email aren't from any card that I own. I went ahead and removed that card from my Apple Wallet, but my bank is still notifying me about pending payment attempts. Thankfully, my monthly spending limit has prevented any further charges, but the payment has already been deducted and my order status is still unconfirmed.
Both Apple and my bank's support are closed today, so I'm pretty worried. Can anyone advise on how to fix this and what steps I should take to get a refund for the initial charge?
Thanks a lot for your help!

I totally get your panic! It's pretty normal for it to take a few days for a payment to reverse, depending on your bank. Just hang in there and keep an eye on your account. Also, make sure you've changed passwords for any important accounts in case there's a security concern.
It sounds like a really stressful situation! Since support is closed, there's not much you can do right now. Just make sure to keep an eye on your accounts for any suspicious activity. In the meantime, try to verify that the email you received was actually from Apple and not a scam. Tomorrow, contact Apple Support first thing to get more clarity on the payment issue and how to proceed with a refund.
When you're using Apple Pay, the card details are usually encrypted, which can explain why you don’t recognize the last four digits. Definitely reach out to Apple support once they're open—they'll have the best info on why the payment is unresolved and how to sort things out.
