Apple Card Rolling Out Today to Limited Number of Customers

The resurgence of invitations and/or availability of the + sign is encouraging, but still nothing working for me.
 
Glad to see more getting in! Hopefully a full rollout soon and they can get a few of the kinks worked out.
 
Omg guys I’m so excited!! The link worked and not only that, I got approved when I have absolutely no credit score! I was fully expecting not to be approved. $500 limit and 23.99 APR, but I don’t care! I don’t spend that much anyways and I’m just ecstatic to be approved. Thanks for the tip guys!

The link worked for me. Never got an invite and haven’t checked the ‘+’ since this morning. Just visited this thread, tried the link and got it. Thanks to whoever brought the link back to the top.

So why did my son tell me he got one of the invites this week but didn’t apply. And here I am pushing the plus sign a hundred times a day.

Got no invite, just checked the wallet app and....glory be, it was there!

Got approved about half an hour ago. Didn't remember what interest rate was (I always pay in full each month anyway), but limit was 10K with an 805 credit score.

Guess the new invites are indeed rolling out!

Hmm....It seems like everyone who has been waiting is getting in! And here I am, still hitting the link and pressing the + with no love....
 
The link worked for me, too! Thanks for posting, I would not have tried otherwise. :)

Yeah...tried restarting the phone and tried doing it on my iPad too. The link brinks up the Apple Card in Wallet but clicking continue gives me the "Apple Card Unavailable" message.

Too bad, I guess it’s not a complete rollout yet.

Maybe I didn't make myself clear. I'm not saying that cashback (or other point-based reward systems) are useless. I'm just wondering why people think that Apple's "daily cashback" (and in particularly the "daily" part) is "huge". As far as I can tell this is a card with a reasonable (but by no means amazing) cashback rate as long as you use Apple Pay, and rather underwhelming benefits (no extended warranty, travel insurance or similar things that other cards offer). It has a nice UI, is very easy to sign up for, and comes with a flashy physical card, and that's pretty much it. I think it's primarily a tool for Apple to promote the use of Apple Pay.

I agree the rewards aren’t anything to get too excited over. But I’m more interested in the security, UI, and simplicity.

I keep pressing it and it says “Apple Card Unavailable”

Would I eventually get through if I spam it, or would I be wasting my time?
[doublepost=1565582190][/doublepost]I just remembered I have 2 email addresses associated with my Apple ID. I wonder if putting both on the “notify me” list will double my chances (sorry for the triple post)
 
Got my email invite earlier in the week, fiancé was able to apply tonight (no email received tho). She was not able to apply this morning, so it happened between 12pm and 6pm PDT.

none of which is really that different than many other cards especially if you use them via Apple Pay.

I think that folks are excited more because Apple is jumping into such a 'standard' service. I mean if the point was just the app they could have worked that into any AP connected card. but to make a card, that's huge. a lot of folks on different forums etc are pondering if this might be a sign that Apple could get into cell phone service, internet service (and perhaps lead a push into fiber for all) and so on

Some are mainly excited by the various benefits: unmatched security, privacy, no fees, 3% off Apple purchases, daily cash back, no foreign transaction surcharge, the app itself/purchase tracking, the seemingly good approval odds, especially with little or no credit (albeit with a low limit/high interest rate initially), etc. Some are excited because Apple. Like you mention, I’m sure there are those who think it could mean something with respect to future potential service offerings. Who knows?

But anyone who can’t understand that any of the above are legitimate reasons for wanting Apple Card—regardless of their own lack of interest in the product themselves—need to explain away all of the above before their “why should anybody care”-type comments are taken seriously.

The answer can be as simple as 3% cash back for the Apple Store. Or (say it isn’t so) that they just like Apple—which as usual, is so upsetting, and such an amazingly powerful trigger, for the Apple-hate crowd.

People that like Disney were excited when that card rolled out. I’m sure that also triggered a flood of negative posts on Disney forums by those with an irrational hatred of Disney. Well, it probably did. I mean, maybe. No???

I see that a bunch of other people had luck today also.

I was at work and I just randomly tried applying through the link and was approved! I inputted my info and I also had to scan my license but alas I was approved also.

Finally got it this morning: 15K, 12.99%

no invite. The “+” just worked this time. Previously it only went to the camera to scan a card.
 
Showed up in my wallet today. Verified info and was approved for the high limit and 12.99%. Did not receive email invite.
