The 2% back on all touchless/apply pay integrations is what sold it for me.
I got hooked on Apple Card when my other Visa got suddenly suspended after I made a legit purchase abroad, and I was in a store and I had the Apple Card up and running in less than 1 minute on my iPhone. Really changed my perception of how the credit card experience should work.
The Apple Card gui is so refreshing compared to smarmyness of a typical card.
Agreed. Been a huge fan of Wallet with the Apple Card.
That was what originally interested me, except I’ve learned that the vast majority of places I frequent don’t allow touchless payments. I’m at Home Depot nearly daily and I really wished they allowed touchless payments.
Home Depot in my area (Seattle) has rolled out touchless/apple pay. They’re not like walmart wherein they were purposefully holding out, they’re just slow
Does the 2% reward only work with tap-to-pay? So no walmart or home depot?
I like tinking it against the table. I got one for the 3% back and financing on Apple products. Kept it for the tink tink noises and for the physical card having absolutely no info on it to steal (and a rotating CCV number)
Yeah, same. And now I don't even know where the physical card is.
I used it for a few months, canceled it and put it on a shelf with other knickknacks, like my 2002 iPod. Something to show kids.
2% cash back on any Apple Pay purchase is worth using.
But there are other cards that give you 2% cash back on any purchase, Apple Pay or not...
Especially when, as I’ve learned, so few places allow touchless/Apple Pay payments.
While the point remains that Apple Card’s rewards are inferior, I find that almost everywhere except Home Depot/Walmart/Lowes/Kroger/Winco accepts Apple Pay.
