No, I just hit the + sign and signed up, approved and ordered card. Got an email after said Welcome to Apple Card nothing since.

I'm starting to wonder if those of us that never received an official invite but still got in are the ones having the most problems on everything from physical cards to denials to limits etc.

I never got an official invite, got in and approved last week, and my physical card came Monday. Still never received an invite. I'm guessing they are overloaded and processing them as fast as they can right now.

Just so you know, the card number that populates on the web isn’t the actual card number of the physical card. You basically have 2 different card numbers. One card number for online/web purchases and what not. The other, physical card, is the actual card number of the card that you cant see, only the last 4. I have already requested a new number for online. Pretty slick of Apple how this works. Freakin love the security! Such a fanboy I am. Lol!! By the way, I use my card all the time! I don’t even use my debit card anymore. Since Tuesday I have already earned $6.35 of FREE money for just general purchases. Enjoy!

Excellent info! Thanks.

I applied Sunday night was approved, got the invite last night and card will be here Thursday (but hoping for tomorrow as I’m 200 miles away).
 
Excellent info! Thanks.

You’re welcome!

Hey peeps! Think of this. I used my card for a week now. I earned $6.35 in a week of FREE money! If i continue my same general purchases for a year that’s $304.80. Pretty awesome IMO
 
Still no invite, no working link, and no working +. Disappointed, bordering on aggravated. Honestly, I have lost interest. I just need to move on, but apparently can not stop checking this thread. I need help.

Are you me? I'm in the same boat and I literally don't need it at all but I just want that titanium goodness regardless of how irrational it is.

Same here, except I want the 2% cash back instead of my Amex's 1.5%... still waiting on an email despite signing up on day 1.

That's what I'm starting to wonder...would like to keep trying at it, but may just wait until the invite or public roll out at this point. Everything seems a bit off with the approval process. Understandable though with this being GS and Apple's first go.

I’m with y’all. Still no invite here and the link doesn’t work for me either.
 
Yes - there's a whole bunch of people that are seeing this as well. It'll get shipped over the next few days. FedEx shows the information earlier than the wallet app will. I found out my card was delivering on the day before.

I shockingly got the info from Apple prior to Fedex showing it. I applied yesterday and just about 5 minutes ago got the shipping notice via the wallet app.

They must still be working on the kinks with the approval process – just tried again and was asked for full SSN and Driver ID scan, but was denied with new reasons. Starting think that one theory about if you’re not on official invite yet, even if you get it days after, might be holding some water given everyone’s random approvals, #’s, etc. Just glad it’s a soft check lol.

People that haven't received the physical card and it's been more than 3 business days since approved:

Did you ever get an email inviting you to apply for the card, even after applying?

For a point of reference. I did the "+" prior to the invite, but the invite came later that same day via email. All seems well and I got a shipping notice. I applied yesterday.

I had that problem day one
Signed up thru wallet w/out the email and had problems with the card #. After I got the email I went to wallet and removed and started over. Worked perfectly after that
 
For those that get denied - does it let you apply again or show the card anymore? Curious to know if you can keep reapplying since it wont ding your credit score by applying until you do get approved...

You can reapply almost immediately. It doesn’t disappear or block you.

There are a few others here who have gotten 40k approvals on Apple Card. My lowest current CC CL is 30k, with others from 35-60k, so I figured I had a shot...I’m guessing like most they’ll increase it over time if asked.

I got 17.99 and 8500 limit with 135k income and 815 score. My guess on mine I just bought a house so have a large new debt without any payment history.
 
I applied and was approved on Sunday. Never received invite but used the link and it worked. I still haven’t gotten any kind of shipping notice for physical card.

I think you were the one that let us know invites were open again. I did it right after you, and still have no shipping notice as well. No invite email ever to this point.

Yes, that was me. Happy others were able to follow suit. Glad to have the card in Wallet but I want Apple to finish the process and put the card in my hands.
 
Just shows how uneducated you are with respect to how people with money, make more money. Charging everything to credit cards with benefits, cash back, points, rebates etc. My son owns his own construction business and flies 1st class everywhere he goes....without paying for it....., hotel stays free, manufacturer discounts. I could go on and on. Interest rates don't mean a damn thing, because a balance is never carried.

This x 100, thank you. I just got back from a vacation for which the flights and hotels priced out at over $200k, if I had paid for it all with money. Using points earned from credit cards paid for 90% of that cost.
 
For giggles, I tried again, and it said it couldn't verify my identity this time, even though I entered SSN correctly, and this time the automated email came from Equifax. Go figure. That's why I'm thinking that only those that get the email (even if it doesn't arrive until after applying) are the ones that have been successful.

same. I earn points buying my regular day to day stuff and business trips. Use points to fly in a higher class for free or cheap and stay in hotels for cheap as well as getting a 1-3% pay increase

I don’t have that much in the way of points built up, but even on normal family expenses, I’ve built up ~40 nights of free stays at Hyatt properties using my chase sapphire and freedom combo. I only have the Apple Card because I wanted to have the titanium, and no fees means I can maintain a “life” credit line to aid in maintaining credit. I’ll rarely use it except to keep it open and to ensure the credit line stays put.
