Google Wallet unable to set up

ANSWERED

Hello, I would really like to use the google pay feature on my Fitbit charge 6. However, whenever I am trying to set up a the card, when it sayings contacting/connecting to bank, it then says An unexpected error has occurred, please try again later. Then when I leave the google wallet tile on the Fitbit app on my iPhone, and re-enter the google wallet tile, the card appears. However when I check my charge 6, the card is not on the Watch. Has anyone else experienced this? And any fixes? I am on the latest update on the tracker, and I have tried multiple times to connect the card. (I am using CIBC btw)

Yes I have I think the same issue.  I just got a versa 4.  Actually 4 Versa 4.  The first one I got was defective AND an open box.  the 2nd one I got was also a broken seal and had a defective touch screen for which the screen was virtually uncontrollable.  Amazon felt bad and decided to send me a brand new one on the house, so I replaced the 2nd defective one and got 2 BRAND NEW ONES with unbroken seals.  Don't know who is managing returns at Amazon but that's an embarrassingly sloppy job to send me 2 broken seal boxes, of which one was missing the charger and second one had all the components in a mess in the box.  

Regardless, for each I got up and running, when trying to go into the google wallet, both from my phone OR my tablet (both Android) at one point the tablet did tell me I needed a security on the tablet, but that was the extent of it.  Each time I click the google wallet icon on the fitbit app, phone or tablet, it flashes the screen black as if trying to open something, and then just comes back to the screen where you see Amazon Alexa, Gallery, Google Wallet, How to use, etc.

Yes the app is up to date

Yes the watch is up to date

Yes my Android is up to date

yes the watch is fully charged

Yes both my Google Wallet and my fitbit app are logged into the same google account.

It seems to me Google is picking up the pieces of what appears to be a sloppy job done by Fitbit and doing a "bang up" job about it.  The irony is the Google pay on my versa 2 still works, but can't set up a card on my versa 4.   I am NOT gonna walk around with 2 watches.

 

My guess is the watch has nothing to do with the issue since the Google Wallet won't even open up on the app, regardless of which Versa I pair.

When I try to connect with Google wallet Fitbit is like Crash, I had the card in Fitbit 6 but I reset it and I can't add the visa card again and I know it is compatible

I just got mine yesterday at this point and I’m having some of the same problems, but on an iPhone.

Be sure that your banking institution supports the Charge 6. Mine did not.
They added it to their supported devices which fixed my issue
