BA Instore excludes PayPal and YoYo Wallet, but there’s no mention of Apple Pay (or Android Pay) in the BA T&Cs. According to PAW Instore, which is operated by the same people:-

Please note that WOWPoints cannot be earned on transactions made through: Apple Pay, Android Pay and Samsung Pay; Wallet providers including PayPal and YoYo Wallet; Retailer store cards; Cards not bearing the Visa or MasterCard/Maestro symbols.
Please retain a copy of your receipt for your records until your WOWPoints are showing as pending.

If it matters, probably best use the physical card. As I understand it Apple Pay uses a virtual card number for the transactions so it wouldn’t match on the retailer system with the one you loaded.
