Valid point. I would probably call/check ahead of time to see if this would have any impact on the consumers rating/future requests.
Got a tip for us?

I remember when the card first came out, everyone was bragging that they never carried a balance. Yep.
I didn't get one either. I'm guessing it's because I've never carried a balance on it?
I see the unprofessional reporting skills continue across ALL media. You do realise it’s actually called ‘Covid 19’ right? To call it the Coronavirus is the same as to call it the ‘Human Being’... the word cornovirus means a group of a certain type of virus that includes the flue, SARS, Mers, the common cold etc.. so in effect your calling the current pandemic a group of several viruses:
This site is called MacRumors and no one gives them **** for posting about new Samsung phones. I'd give 'em a break.

Unprofessional? Relax. Don't sweat it. I'd be shocked if any reader suffers from confusion over the use of the word "Coronavirus;" especially at this point in time and the contextual situation everyone is in.
Instead, give consideration and serious thought about posing a question starting with the phrase "You do realize..." Think about it.
And stay calm.
We should actually make this a Day, where we reevaluate our progress at combating Biochemistry and pharmacology.Happy COVID-19 day?

Should be required. In China most commercial rent are waived.
No email. Never carried a balance. Wouldn't be surprised if every major card makes a similar offer. They are actively giving small business' cheap loans as we speak. We die, they die.
Ah....that makes sense! I had wondered after I read about this why I had not received that email.....
Yeah, I’ll stick to my emergency fund and stay away from credit cards. Not really interested in a bank bailout for a month. I realize it could be helpful though for those that rely on itGoldman Sachs - "We're here to help"
Of course they are. Like they "helped" their victims in 2008.
Never carried a balance either, BUT I did get the email eventually.
Yeah to be most accurate, this particular coronavirus is called SARS-Cov-2 (sudden acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, electric boogaloo) and the disease it causes is Coronavirus Disease 2019.
Will that effect your credit score? Will they track those persons who elect to join the "assistance program," as less credit-worthy? Who's willing to trust GS on that? Right.
It will affect your credit score to the same extent that your credit utilization will affect your credit score (ie, utilizing more of your credit can lower your score). This happens with any other account, too. Will they track these customers as less credit-worthy? Well no because they're not a credit agency like Transunion (what Apple Card is using to check people's credit scores). They only tell the agencies if you've paid your debts on time or not. Who's willing to trust GS? Well if you're using the Apple Card you probably trust them already, if you don't then you're probably not an Apple Card customer.

Just stay healthy.

She/He got killed by a car. (Corona Virus)
She/He got killed by a BMW. (Covid 19)
It doesn't matter right now tbh. Sorry.
Yes, I, too, received that email last night. Thankfully I don't have a need to avail myself of the offer, but it is nice that they are doing this.
