Apple Pay Sandbox adding AMEX fails

Question

Using the apple pay sandbox on my iphone, I continue to get

Could Not Add Card Try again later or contact your card issuer for more information. Add a Card Later Try Again

I have tested with every AMEX card listed: https://developer.apple.com/apple-pay/sandbox-testing/

I was able to add Discover, Mastercard, VISA without issue.

My sandbox account is bound to USA, however I am currently testing from Costa Rica. My phone was purchased and registered in the USA.

I am open to any suggestions.

We are running into the same issue. Have not found an answer in the traditional sense, however wanted to share the finding that this appears to be a known issue.

Here are two links to unrelated Apple discussions about the matter:
