See i have great credit. And the cards i have. Have much better rewards than this Apple card. But not everyone is in my situation. Some ppl have just ok credit. And may not qualify for a rewards type card.
So my thinking i guess is for that person. This provides them a card that gives them some rewards. Not the best. But for ppl like me. It provides no added benefit. So i guess it depends on that individual.
So you have another card that “suits you fine”...yet here you are
Not true. Their yearly cash rewards checks do not expire. I walked in with two rewards checks and walked out with $854. cash! I did not even have to buy a thing! This is in California if that makes any difference.

No, you can't. To send money from person to person (Apple Cash) a debit card is now required. It used to be the case, according to the original Apple Cash terms and conditions, that you could send money to other people and pay for that with a credit card, but you couldn't top up your own Apple Cash card and pay for that with a credit card. However, Apple and Green Dot Bank made a change to those terms and conditions last March after the Apple Card was unveiled, and now a debit card is required both to send money to other people and to top up your own Apple Cash debit card. No more sending money to other people using any credit cards, including the Apple Card.

It was convenient paying people back with Apple Pay cash for a while but I don't have a debit card so that's out the window now.
The lack of an actual card number should be a big plus for security. I try to use Apple Pay when I can for this reason. I've had people steal my account number a couple of times and make a couple of purchases. It's annoying AF to get it dealt with, and I'm tired of these criminals having easier avenues to be criminals.
Probably not for a while yet. Nothings been announced for anything outside of the US - it’s not as simple as Justin launched a new feature simply down to the fact they need to have deals and agreements with banks in said countries first.
Actually, you should use a credit card. One, it builds credit. Two, you'll get rewards (whatever your card gives) by spending and paying it on time. Using a charge card means you spend 100% cash with no rewards. Paying your credit off monthly is 100% cash plus rewards.
I was notified by credit monitoring agency that Goldman Sak ran a credit check on me on the Aug 1st.
Hmm sounds like the Costco Visa card?
You also get 2% cash back when you buy things in Costco or Costco.com
3% cash back on travel, hotels, and restaurant related purchases.
However, you'll need to maintain your membership, which one could think of as a $60 "annual fee"
Am I the only person who’d never do business with the economy-wrecking swindle-machine corruption-leading subprime fraud champions named Goldman Sachs, which brought down the entire US and world economies by fraudulently passing off packages of billions (maybe trillions) of dollars worth of subprime mortgages as AAA grade? You can blame liar loans etc but the fact is if it wasn’t for Goldman Sachs, there wouldn’t have been a market for liar loans.
Can you imagine carrying one of these cards? It’d be the financial equivalent of carrying a credit card emblazoned with BillCosby-HarveyWeinstein-TedBundy. “Don’t leave home without it.”

Apple please sort the physical card out, it’s awful and looks like an employee pass.
Give the people some design options.

There are literally no fees charged by Apple or Goldman. The only “fee” is interest.
No one getting the Apple Card cares about what other cards offer lmao or they already know what other cards offer. How do you guys not understand that?
If someone wants the Apple Card because of the “cool factor” so what? Literally no fees, nice integration with Wallet, easy to generate a new card number, daily cashback and 3% back at Apple.
You only have 1 life to live. I hope getting an Apple Card doesn’t shatter your soul and cause you to lose sleep at night......

Bro you lost me. You asked twice what’s so special about this card, you claim it’s been explained to you over and over again, yet you are still posting in Apple Card threads? Why? Seriously, why?
If you don’t see the value in it and other people do then so be it! You’re gonna drive yourself crazy over a credit card that you don’t even want. Just get over it.
the point is that you dont need an apple card... you WANT an apple card... as with all other apple products for the most part...
And that is so true that you could almost lock this thread right there. Really, there is no "need" here at all, and haters should really just move on.
