I wonder if Apple is aware that vendors are adding their own restrictions?
Why would Apple care? Apple's arrangement is with banks, not merchants.
Costco accepts whatever card they choose to accept. You link whatever card you want to Apple Pay. As long as it's accepted by the merchant and the merchant accepts Apple Pay, you're golden.
Apple touts all the banks and CUs that are accepting AP but it's still the merchants' choice.
It would seem the AP token is not card agnostic.
Since the Watch and/or 'Phone can hold more than one card, you could try linking your Visa to AP, at least just to see if it works.
