Could you hold me and tell me I’m attractive? That would help. ?
It should always be this way. Shouldn't be cheaper to buy apple products with an amazon card
WOW Ok so that is worth signing up right there..thing is when I go to apply on the very top it says
Apply for Apple Card.
Created by Apple, as secure and simple as iPhone.No fees1 and up to 3% Daily Cash back.
Apply and use right away.
Says only 3 percent..and would the 6 percent cash back apply for EDU orders as well?
Because UK & European financial laws are much more strict on things like cashback/bonuses/promotional facilities than US ones, as our laws are designed to stop citizens being overly persuaded to get into debt via such offers.
In the US, in very simple terms, it's a free-for-all, where credit companies can offer all sorts of (often rip-off) credit facilities with promotions that are essentially taxes on often debt-ridden non-payers.
That's why (in the UK at least) you typically don't see 'points collecting' cards that are worth wasting your time with. Except for Amex cards that can be good things like flight points, but most others are not.
What do you see there?View attachment 1873731I just ordered a MBP and it’s not showing any % cash back in my wallet.

IDEA...
Why doesn't a card owner here phone Apple (or Apple Card team) and clarify what this 6% is all about?
It'd help end all the unclear speculation about what it is/isn't.

I just got my card last week. Nike has a get $75 back if you spend $75 deal for new Apple Card holders.
Ordered a new MBP at launch (within 10 minutes of the store coming back up on monday), got charged 4 hours ago and showing 6% cash back on it.
Just checked and as of seven hours ago my Apple Wallet reflects 6% cash back for both the extended warranty and the 14" MacBookPro M1 Max. It has also changed to "preparing to ship" status. The Max will arrive on the 26th of October, next Tuesday.

Just ordered a fully spec'd iPad Mini 6 about an hour ago... it shows the standard 3% cash back on the pending transaction, so about $30. I've had the card since they launched it, and I've already benefited from the first go-round of the 6% offer back then on my 2019 16" MBP.
An additional $30 back on this purchase would be nice, but not going to waste time canceling / returning, especially since no such discount program has been officially announced, so you can't tell until you commit to the order. Usually the 6% has only applied to new cardholders or those who haven't received the bonus discount before.
Now, nothing compares to the Apple Pay + Discover Card 10% cash back + unlimited-double-your-rewards promo that happened a few years ago. That was effectively 20% cash back for new cardholders. Talking about winning on that one. Puts 3% vs 6% in a different perspective.
I've realized you can go through life trying to optimize and get every possible discount, or you can be happy with what you do have, smile, and be grateful that we are fortunate to even afford this stuff in the first place.

I did and was told there was no such promotion and to “not believe everything on the internet.”
Well you can try. Just phone Apple and ask to switch the card they're going to charge you on shipping day.
Just placed my order yesterday for late November early December BTO. Used Apple Card for purchase (hope to see that 6%!) - plus I used ID.me for Veteran and Military Purchase Program (saving 10% on my transaction!
So indeed if I have saved 13-16% - major kudo's to Apple and affiliates.
If it stays at 6% I will purchase expensive external 4K-6K display.
Whenever I use my Apple Card I pay it off immediately after receipt of items. Have had mine since initial rollout.
