NFC-enabled pass keys are required to support sending reward card information as part of an Apple Pay transaction.

Passes can send reward card information to a terminal as part of an Apple Pay transaction. This feature requires a payment terminal that supports NFC-entitled passes. Specifically, the terminal must implement the Value Added Services Protocol. 


It is available only for Store Card style passes.
