Right or using the card to open a locked door.I didn’t see anywhere in this review how good the Apple card is at scraping an icy windshield versus regular credit cards.
I was approved last Wednesday. As of 8 pm Tuesday my card has not shipped. So not so immediate for me.“Apple will also immediately ship out the physical card....” This is fake news.
That may have been what happened for some...but, that doesn’t mean this will be the norm. It’s definitely not what “will” happen. Not happening for many.
Name another card doing the same things from a reporting, security, fees, design and rewards perspective.Yup truly amazing............First ever Credit Card........
I have 600,000 Chase points (only say this to emphasize I understand the points game) and use a Sapphire Reserve for most purchases, but the Apple Card is going into the rotation for Apple purchases and ApplePay (non dining and non travel).While quite a few places take ApplePay, there are still a lot that don’t. Many, many cards beat the Apple Card where this is the case. Actually, they kick it’s butt.
If you have better luck with ApplePay, good for you. Otherwise...you’re right!
Other cards for other things. 2% instant cash for ApplePay at many locations is leading or among leaders for rewards.Mediocre interest rates, mediocre rewards, no purchase protection, no warranty extension, no export to Quicken or Mint.
NO thanks.

Exactly! It has it’s place, but, it’s quite limited, overall. Places that take ApplePay, but, aren’t restaurants...and, sometimes Apple...but, not always.I have 600,000 Chase points (only say this to emphasize I understand the points game) and use a Sapphire Reserve for most purchases, but the Apple Card is going into the rotation for Apple purchases and ApplePay (non dining and non travel).
Reserve is 3% for Travel and Dining.

No one should care about credit card interest rates.
I received the invite, but there seems to be a bug. The e-mail says "the email address you provided does not match an Apple ID signed in to iCloud."
It's clearly addressed to my iCloud e-mail address. Bummer.
... He had dropped it two doors down and was all apologetic "gee I saw the big house numbers and name on the mailbox and my mind must have just blanked" No excuse - it was 9:15 in the morning - not the end of a long day.
This is going to be a huge success.
Do you know how long it's gonna take them to release the damn card to everybody if they keep releasing it in batches?
300 million people in America
100,000-person batch release, say, per week
That's 3,000 weeks, or 58 years
Great! Let's not overload the system!
My brother has a really strong credit score, 730ish and they said his debt to income is too high. He makes nearly 200k/yr. so their standard must be on some strange formula. He can get credit anywhere.I was declined for having to much debt, and not having enough income, so kinda disappointed about it, oh well.
Same. Did they say they didn’t have the AppleID that matched the one logged into iCloud? The email they sent me that is my AppleID, so something is wrong.I received an email today, they could not send me my invite because they did not have my Apple ID, I was instructed to send my Apple ID and they will send my invite within 48 hours.
Strange his credit rating is so low with such a high income. He must have other stuff going on.My brother has a really strong credit score, 730ish and they said his debt to income is too high. He makes nearly 200k/yr. so their standard must be on some strange formula. He can get credit anywhere.
Apple Card is not supported with 1st Gen Apple Watch...while every other credit card is! Wouldn't have applied for one if I knew this.

I have had my card for a couple days and I love how I hand it to a person to pay a bill they say wow it is heavy and love the white and silver color. They say I want one and how can I get one
The benefits are appealing in several ways.There’s certainly not 300 million people waiting for the card, or anywhere near that, and it’s a pretty bad in the benefits department.
I would be interested if they announced an Apple Card Platinum say for $500 a year but include a lot more benefits than the paltry standard Apple Card.
