This kind of promotion had never been tried before, and it pointed to a new direction for an app many have come to rely on to keep their passes and bank cards in one place.<\/p>\n<p>Some may welcome the chance to save money or get a heads-up about something that interests them. Apple, at least, gives users a choice. You can go into Wallet settings and prevent offers and promotions from appearing as notifications in the future. Here\u2019s how to do it.<\/p>\n<p>1. Open the Wallet<\/p>\n<p class=\"bordeaux-image-check\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/y7mBqkcEkbZy5gTQiJGHdY.png\" alt=\"Stop offers and promotions appearing in Apple Wallet with this hidden setting \"   loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/y7mBqkcEkbZy5gTQiJGHdY.png\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/y7mBqkcEkbZy5gTQiJGHdY.png\" class=\"expandable van-old-layout-image\"\/><\/p>\n<p>First of all, open the Wallet app. You may already see promotions and offers but even if you don\u2019t you can take action to prevent them appearing in future.<\/p>\n<p>Just tap the three-dot icon in the top-right of the screen.<\/p>\n<p>2. Select Notifications<\/p>\n<p class=\"bordeaux-image-check\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2Mm47DrQKtTdsvGfzknThY.png\" alt=\"Stop offers and promotions appearing in Apple Wallet with this hidden setting \"   loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2Mm47DrQKtTdsvGfzknThY.png\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2Mm47DrQKtTdsvGfzknThY.png\" class=\"expandable van-old-layout-image\"\/><\/p>\n<p>When the menu appears, select Notifications.
