Of course it's just a credit card. However, there was an ostensible process in place that invites were issued in some order relative to when people expressed interest and because of a glitch, this group of us, according to your probably accurate assumption, means we are losing our spot in line. I am not shedding any tears but it is penalizing to lose one's spot in line because of a glitch.
Got a tip for us?

When we signed up they never said we were in a line. We were signing up to be notified. The fact that some people who signed up got an early invitation is a present for them, not a penalty for us.
I have an e-mail that says otherwise.
"You wanted to be one of the first to get Apple Card — a new kind of credit card created by Apple, not a bank. Good news: Here’s your chance to experience Apple Card before everybody else, so you can help us get ready for the public launch. Your early access invitation is waiting, but we need your Apple ID to send it."
I already did thank youif you scroll up you’ll see that I reported that I called them today too and they would get back to me on Tuesday :/

well all right then
Curious how Apple defines 'Summer' for the release of this as the Fall Solstice isn't until September 23rd. So a 'summer' release' could be anytime over the next 40 days perhaps.
Do we really care when the sun is directly over the Equator (Spring and Fall Equinox)? Summer is over on Labor Day.
I'm not directing this at you personally, I agree with your statement, I'm just wondering why we use an antiquated sun-positioning to define a season.
People, this is still in beta. I get it, we’re Apple loyalists and want that titanium card ASAP, but this is a credit card, not a new iPhone, iPad or Mac!
We signed up to be *notified*. Apple says the card will be released this month. Let’s keep this in perspective.
Just checked the wallet app and sure enough I was able to apply for the Apple Card. I got the same email everyone else got on Tuesday and resubmitted my email address. I never got a follow up email it was just in the wallet app. Good luck everyone
Immediately after getting the email I followed the link and resubmitted. Got the email at 6:21pm est on Tuesday
I just spoke with someone at Apple, senior support. They said they wrote a ticket to the engineering team to get me an invite to the card sent out. They said it could be as fast as later today or a couple of days.
I had to do the same thing. Curious if you received the second invite after using iCloud email address? Just submitted mine today.
I got an invite but when I tried to apply it said that the apple card was not available yet and only for preview. why did get an invite than
Still no invite for me after 3+ days after resubmitting my email address. My appleid is my original .mac email address (@mac.com). It seems like quite of few users having difficulties use their @me.com or @mac.com as their Apple ID as well. Hopefully they figure this out soon. At the very least, Apple should send an update email after missing their self-imposed 48 hr response time.
I think the problem is evenly distributed and not directly related to using a .mac email. I've had my Apple ID for over 12 years against a personal email server and ran into the same situation as everyone else. Nothing after 48 hours, so I signed up a 3rd time and nothing since then. It didn't start working on its own either.
Unless it has something to do with the age of the Apple ID, or whether you have promotional emails enabled. I turned off promotional emails a few years ago because everything they sent out I already knew about from reading sites like this or watching the videos of the associated events. Maybe the entire thing was just an accident and they didn't mean to invite so many people that quickly.
I never got a new email invite, but the ability to apply was available in the Wallet app the day after I received the email about the incorrect Apple ID
My 48 hour window expired Thursday afternoon. Still waiting for the new invite after updating my email address.
Still nothing and it’s Saturday afternoon.
For those of you who applied this way, just randomly going into he wallet app, is there a bit of a lag when it happened? because it's pretty interesting how an the wallet interface can change without an update or anything in the OS or the app
Interestingly, I checked my wallet AFTER receiving the invitation and nothing was there. I clicked on the link in the invite, it took me back to the wallet, then the page appeared.
