Just get a Halifax Clarity Card, there’s also others with zero fees.
Halifax charge the exchange rate at the time of the transaction and charge no fees.
Do you get 3% back on Citizens One (iPhone upgrade program) payments? That would be the only reason I’d sign up for this card.
I'm not vexed, its more about curiosity. Being a forum, I guess I'm permitted ask that.
Not me, yet. Signed up in the first few hours on day 1. Keeping my eyes peeled.
I am in agreement with you except for metal cards being rare... most of my credit cards are metal.
You could also get a Halifax Clarity Credit Card. No fees when abroad.
Metal cards are rare? lol - Here's 21, right off the bat: https://www.creditcardinsider.com/blog/metal-credit-cards/
Same here, within minutes of it going live to sign up to be notified I enrolled, and I did not get a email, so that sucks lol. I was hoping for the email.
Check out Revolut, it's awesome for exactly that
I meant in the wild. I personally haven’t seen any, and I don’t know anybody that has one. Though I suppose that’s anecdotal since apparently everyone here has one already lol.
But anyway, I took a quick glance at those 21 cards and it seems the majority have an annual fee, whereas Apple Card does not. So I’ll amend my statement to “Free metal cards are fairly rare.”

Yes, that’s the extra security of this card and why the physical card does not have a number on it. All transactions are via virtual card number. Just like when you use Apple Pay with a card in your wallet today, the card number is not the same as the one on the actual card if you swiped or used it via chip.
If it's real Titanium, that may enough for me to sign up.

why not being cheered up about all the banking start ups?
why must it be an apple card - from an already huge wealthy company ???

I'm really curious to see how Apple will handle this in Belgium/Europe.

Unmatched security, no fees, 3% off Apple purchases, daily cash back are some of the reasons.
Those and more have been posted many, many times in various Apple Card threads over the past month or so, which you haven’t been following.
I get it, it's a credit card but at the same time, it's a new product category blessed by Apple and they're known to shake up the game whenever they enter a product category. This is the first new product since the apple watch and ipad before that. So yes, I think it IS a big deal even if "it's just a credit card" and that they're better alternatives.
iKnow! This isn't the first card to offer rewards, or cash back. There are other cards that have better rewards. This isn't even the first card made of metal.
Yes, it does have a decent rewards program. Not mind blowing. But, this excitement level...
Also, applying for the card will cause your credit score to drop. Even if you're approved.
To those who disagree...you're absolutely right!
But only 2% at Apple.com and Apple stores.Pass. There is no compelling reason for me to bite on theCard, as my Citi DoubleCash card (which is a MasterCard WorldElite card) gives me 2% cash back for *everything*.
I said this before. But some ppl like me with great credit. Would laugh at this Apple card. Cause we could get much better offers from another bank. But some ppl don’t qualify for reward credit cards. They may qualify for this. I think in that case. The Apple card is geared towards them.
It’s like the majority of Apple products, isn’t it? Not first to market. Doesn’t have the best “specs”.
It’s just Apple taking something that already exists and putting their ideas into what could make it overall a better experience for some. That excites some people.
Pass. There is no compelling reason for me to bite on the
You think people are only getting it because of the cashback? Which is SOOO much better on your card? There’s more reasons than that.
