I liked the part where he talks about how great an Apple Card would be for college students because they’re teens who are too dumb to understand credit cards after having things explained to them.
Ironic huh? Lol
^^^^THIS^^^^
[doublepost=1565796308][/doublepost]BTW----Ordered early Monday, shipped just now. Just showed in App. No notification. Coming UPS. Would prefer FedEx, they normally knock.
I'm sure it's been brought up before, but it's probably a good idea to opt out of the arbitration clause via chat. Literally took me one minute.

By default, you basically agree to give up your right to file a lawsuit against Apple or Goldman Sachs when signing up for the card. Instead, you have to see an arbitrator. Opting out frees you from that.
The article I linked to provides more info.
I haven't seen that mentioned, and it's a very good point. Took 30 seconds. Thank you very much!
i'd have agreed with you but the main difference is the fact that, the people i'm talking about in my rant are the ones forcing people like me to not accept the apple card and to use the cards they have. so your lil rant had nothing to do at all with what i was trying to say. which was a bunch of people were literally insulting us and our choice to choose a card we want for ourselves. i'm "attacking" those people. not the people who dont care what card i have and are just educating the base.
feel free to have your opinion, i dont mind reading peoples opinion, but when it starts to attack others, than i have issues with it.

sarcasm, look it up lol. i was a teen once. i'm guessing you forgot the part where i said those same teens must be rich white boys....sarcasm.

so you were approved for the card monday morning and you requested the physical card to be mailed same time and you just got the notification that it shipped a couple of hours ago? hmm i was approved around 9am monday, so i hope my card ships sometime today.
Yes, I was approved 7:36am Monday. You should be close.
[doublepost=1565808246][/doublepost]How long after anyone got their "Your Card Has Shipped" notice in Wallet were you able to track the UPS number?
Thanks
Pretty much right away, I have UPS My Choice and could see it before the notice in Wallet. It just left Louisville, KY, in case you are on the East Coast, too.
Some people were reporting seeing it in the FedEx app before it showed up in the Wallet app. I don't know whether that will be true with UPS, which is now delivering these (by 2nd Day Air).
FWIW, I got my card Sunday evening and the physical card was shipped UPS 2nd Day Air on Tuesday, due tomorrow, if that timeline helps. The schedule probably would have been the same if I'd been approved on Monday, since Sunday isn't a business day.
Not me. I got through to support and they put me through their hoopla, then said I'd have to wait "up to 48 hours".
In general, banks would rather give credit cards to those who do not actually need the money. That's how you get higher credit limits. The more money you don't need (have), the more you can potentially borrow.

I've only used it twice, but Bestbuy was one, small auto repair shop was the other.
Have MyChoice also. But still no tracking. Can’t seem to find the tracking number. Like it is a bad number.
Maybe just too soon with the increasing volume. Will see tomorrow, then call Goldman and UPS. So Close, So far.

Good question. I was going to ask, but you beat me to it. Apple must have received 1,000+ entries/indications of my valid Apple ID email address in their “notify” list. Perhaps I’m jacking up my chances by entering my email so many times. Oh well.
Also, while we wait, can you “Approved Apple Card” people go somewhere else to discuss shipping and activation issues? I can care less about that stuff right now. Thank you. ;-)
The plus button didn't work, but the link worked. Got declined lol.
I have a good credit card as is anyway.

The card is not really necessary anyway. Just for fun, when I paid a bill at the car repair shop today, I asked them to use the Apple Card number since they didn't have a NFC reader and that worked, too. Only downside, 1 instead of 2% cash back, oh well.

A lot of places I shop still don't take Apple Pay. So, will use the card frequently. Usually 3k a month then pay it all off. Be interested to see if any places that currently take it will not take it with Goldman's. Or, vice versa---
Most of the stores I go to accept Apple Pay. I would be surprised if a store declined the card, it's just another MasterCard after all.
No email since the one yesterday. But, I went into my Wallet, and what should appear? My shiny new Apple Card.
