Virtually all of them. iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches and MacBooks are all Apple Pay enabled (though for some it may only be more recent versions).
If you’re adding your Travel Money Card via the travel app, you can only do this on iPhones and Apple Watches. But if you want to add your card in order to pay using the device’s in-built Apple Pay app, the next FAQ explains how.
Each device may have a slightly different method of payment. For MacBooks, it will only be for making purchases online and will use Touch ID. For Apple Watches, you need to double-tap the side button while holding the device near the reader.

For iPhone, open Apple Wallet and tap the plus sign (usually toward the top, right-hand corner), then follow the instructions. Once we've verified your card, you'll be able to start using Apple Pay with your Travel Money Card.
For Apple Watch, open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, then tap ‘Wallet & Apple Pay’. Then choose ‘Add Card’. Once you tap ‘Next’, we'll verify your card, you can tap ‘Next’ again, and then you're off.
If you want to add Apple Pay to your Mac, you'll need a version of the computer with Touch ID. Go to ‘System Preferences’, then open ‘Wallet & Apple Pay’ and tap ‘Add Card’. Just follow the instructions after that.
Remember that after you've set up Apple Pay on your iPhone, you can allow the same card for that to be used for Apple Pay on your Mac. Just go to ‘Settings’ on your iPhone, then ‘Wallet & Apple Pay’, and turn on ‘Allow Payments on Mac’.
And finally, for your iPad, go to ‘Settings’ then ‘Wallet & Apple Pay’, then tap ‘Add Card’. Follow the instructions and once your card has been verified, tap ‘Next’ and you're ready to start using your Travel Money Card via your iPad.
