QFF card now available for Apple Wallet
I logged into my account today on desktop to search for availability I was pondering for a future trip, and noticed that there was a link on the front page of my account that said "Add card to wallet". Basically, you have to log into the mobile site on your iPhone and add it to wallet from there. Does NOT work via the app AFAIK.

The functionality has been there for some time already. It's not very well implemented though, the card that gets added to Wallet is just a generic one with your membership number and barcode, no status or expiry date details so not helpful for example with lounge access. You'd be better off using the card from within the QF app.

I was under the impression that BA's mobile application holds details of card status. Why would it have much of a reason to start applying it to 3rd parties?

Wallet is a heck of a lot quicker to access than the app. It's why they support it for boarding passes.

Yes. I suppose you could also simply inform staff of your frequent flyer number and they can look it up in the system. But the point is, the implementation in Wallet could've been more elegant.
