Issues with AMEX Card in Riga

Hello everyone,(help)

I just arrived in Riga without my physical wallet, and I’m having issues using my AMEX card through Apple Pay. The hotel I’m staying at definitely accepts AMEX (a guest before me paid with it), but when I tried to pay via Apple Pay, the tap feature didn’t work.

Interestingly, when I switched to my debit card in Apple Pay, it worked fine. I also contacted AMEX support, and they confirmed there’s no problem with my card on their end.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Could this be an Apple Pay issue rather than an AMEX one? Any ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated!
