I know, I like it too. But that would be my only guess as to why any place would refuse it.
If you buy much apple gear or services, the 3% cash back and 0% 12 month payment plans are a pretty good deal. I only use it for Apple things, and have never taken the physical card out of the sleeve.
Not you, but other people have commented on reddit about having problems with Apple Card at restaurants.
No usually they reject it because it has no info on it besides the holder’s name.
Ah, crazy! I didn’t know. It’s amazing how slow physical credit card tech has been to progress, and now that it’s progressing, how slow companies are to adopt the newer tech here in the US…
They could if they wanted to but I believe the problem is Tim Cook is useless and is about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike!
This just further goes to show me that Tim Cook is absolutely useless and is 100% terrible when it comes to understanding what consumers want and how to deliver them.
He is a good money man but a lousy pathetic product guy and the only new product that he can lay claim to is the Apple credit card and Apple Cash and both are US only after all these years which is inexcusable.
Tim Cook has no clue and needs to go!
Apple could easily release this around there world if they wanted to but they refuse as I think Cook is a cheapskate and simply refuses to pay what other banks are demanding.
He is the absolute worst and needs to go now!

That would be great as long as there’s no extra cost.
Amen. Even OK if the dark card is a ‘Premium’ option with more cash back and annual fee is it so be.
Haha, I know — that's where my comment came from in the first place.
I was just saying that I haven't experienced that myself.
Can we please get one in Money Green, so that I at least feel like I have some money left after I leave the Apple Store.
I might actually take that over the ads. But rather than that I'll just stick with the plain 'ol white card.
This suggests that all people in the non-American world are fools, and that's the only reason they can't have a card.
I am a European and unfortunately I cannot get an Apple Card.
? My main credit card has a faint, and I mean faint number on the back. I have NEVER been asked to see it, just stick it in the card reader.Because it doesn't have a number on it
I don’t keep the physical card in my wallet and rarely use it online or with Face ID. For me, 2 points per dollar chase or capitol one points is much more valuable via their transfer partners than 3% cash back from apple/GS. Your mileage may vary.
I moved to Germany and I record all my expenses. I purchase in Euros and the Wallet app shows me the Dollar amount immediately (which I what I record). And most purchases give me 2%. Also I have zero foreign transaction fee (but the exchange rate is not great). My “conventional” credit card gives me 1.5% cash back and a better exchange rate plus no foreign transaction fee either, but the purchase shows up in my banking app with a delay of 1-3 days. A nightmare for bookkeeping.
Also, very Apple-like, purchase history uses real language instead of some cryptic two-line text interspersed with useless-for-me digits, plus it offers a map of the merchant location. This is great for a shopping spree on holiday when I often don’t remember where a certain purchase was from.
Yeah, I get that. And if you don’t pay the full amount you start getting interest here, which is tied to the interest rate decided by European Central Bank (ECB). But if you do pay the full amount within 45 to 60 days, there’s no interest at all.
