Apple is offering new Apple Card customers 6% Daily Cash Back for purchases made from Apple for the month of March.

The new promotion is somewhat limited in scope, as it's only valid for Apple Card users who open an account during March. Typically, customers receive 3% Daily Cash Back for purchases made from Apple. The promotion does not apply to purchases made through the Apple Card Monthly Installment program, carrier financing plans, the iPhone Upgrade Program, App Store purchases, or Apple subscriptions such as Apple One.

To apply for the Apple Card, open the Wallet app on an iPhone, tap the plus button in the top-right corner, select Apple Card, and follow the on-screen steps. Apple also offers a web-based application form.

The application process takes just a few minutes and, if approved, a virtual ‌Apple Card‌ will be available for purchases immediately. A physical, titanium Apple Card can also be requested through the Wallet app for use at retail stores that do not accept contactless payments.

Apple Card's key features include color-coded spending summaries, no fees, and typically up to 3% cash back on purchases, paid out daily. The card remains limited to the United States, but there have been some hints pointing towards an international expansion in the future.

It was very interesting to see that.

Also, the fine print:


Subject to credit approval. Valid only on qualifying purchases in the U.S. for new Apple Card customers who open an account and use it between 3/1/2021 and 3/31/2021 at Apple Store locations, apple.com, the Apple Store app, or by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE. Accounts opened prior to 3/1/2021 or after 3/31/2021 do not qualify. 6% is the total amount of Daily Cash that can be earned for qualifying Apple purchases using Apple Card. The following purchases with Apple Card are ineligible to earn 6% back, but will still earn 3% back: monthly financing through Apple Card Monthly Installments, Apple iPhone Payments, iPhone Upgrade Program, and wireless carrier financing plans; Apple Media Services;AppleCare+ monthly payments. Returning qualified items that were purchased during the offer period may impact your cash back. 6% savings is earned as Daily Cash and is transferred to your Apple Cash card when transactions post to your Apple Card account. If you do not have an Apple Cash card, Daily Cash can be applied by you as a credit on your statement balance. See the Apple Card Customer Agreement for more details on Daily Cash and qualifying transactions. Apple Card issued by Goldman Sachs Bank USA, Salt Lake City Branch.

I fell for the deal, applied for & opened a new Apple Card account & purchased a new computer on 03/09/21. Their ads say the 6% Cash Back will be applied to my Apple Cash Card Account same day. I'm still waiting . . . called Apple Support today (the number that's listed on my AppleCash account) & the people with whom I spoke the phone seemed rather clueless about it.

Has anyone else had similar problems?

You get the daily cash when the charge posts to the card. Probably not until the computer ships. It’s discussed in other threads here, but you won’t get the daily cash while the charge is pending.

Thank you for clarifying that!! I can see the charges have been "Pending" since Wednesday on my account & applied to the balance, even though the computer shipped yesterday. Guess I'll just keep watching my Apple Card to see when it is actually charged for the purchase & not look for my Apple CASH until after then.

It would have saved me a lot of frustration if one of the people I spoke with today had explained that to me!
