I don't understand why they would make one reapply for a card that was simply updated. Maybe one of the other posters who were able to upgrade will chime in later about their experience.

There is no need to reapply for the upgrade to the new card. I logged into my account to send a secure message but decided to call instead. I dialed 1-866-603-7217. This number that can be found under the "contact us" link when you log into your account. I talked to a CSR who told me the card just came out this past Monday and that she would have to transfer me to a Credit analyst (or someone of that nature) to do the upgrade because she couldn't do it. I told the anayslt that I wanted to upgrade my current Apple card to the new one and he said okay. Read me the new Terms and Conditions with all of the rewards info, asked if I understood all of that and then proceeded to tell me that the rewards structure would take affect on my account in 3 days. My new card  is on it's way and will have the same account number etc. I can continue to use my current card until the new one comes. Then he told me I was eligible for a CLI and it didn't require a HP on my credit. I accepted that, told him thanks, and hung up. Quick and easy. Again, you don't have to reapply to get the upgrade. The CSR I initially talked to didn't know much about the new card and that's why she transferred me. Hope this helps.

This is exactly what happened to me. The CSR said "Sure, we can do that but I need to transfer you." The analyst didn't ask any questions, just said the upgrade option wasn't a problem, read me the terms and told me my new card would be here in 7 to 10 days. 

Strange that some are saying reapply.

My CSR said he heard about this but his system won't let him pc me over. He said that people who have had the Barclay/Apple card for more than 90 days should be able to change over but keeps getting an error. He put me on hold and came back telling me that they have to work some kinks out. He gave me his extension and asked me to call back Monday so I wouldn't  have to jump through hoops again.

I was able to PC to the new Apple Rewards Card. Just make sure you call the number at the back of your card. I called the main line (phone number at their website) and was told that I needed to re-apply. Called the number at the back of the card and was bale to make the change.

[ravaage]

Took all of 3 min! My new card is own the way! Thanks for sharing OP! 

3x points on apple purchases

2x points on restraunts/dining

Looks like I will be using this card more often!

I've called 5 times in 3 days. I keep getting denied a pc and am told that their system shows I have the best available offer. If I want the rewards card, I need to reapply and then they will transfer everything over. I've been stuck with barclay at $1700 for over 2 years and have always been in good standing. I haven't received a complimentary fico score from them since February. CSR asked to take it up with TU, meanwhile discover has no issue. Completely useless.
