Apple Card Approval ! But ...

Approved for Apple Card 5K.

Scores around 780 from 580 just 15 months ago (Thanks my fico forums)

But...

So caught up in it but I don't have an Apple products.

I literally registered a new ID just to apply.

Why even allow it - haha - if it seems I literally can't do anything without and iPHONe (or IPad Maybe? )

Any suggestions?

I guess worse case I always have a card with 5k available

Congrats on the Apple card approval! You can always use the physical card for purchases, out in the real world too

You could look into a used / refurbished iPhone 7 and set that up on a bare bones prepaid plan. I'm assuming you already have an android phone and have no interest in moving to iPhone?

While you can use the physical card to make purchases, I believe all the % back reward money goes into an Apple Cash account, which only exists in the Wallet App on an iPhone or iPad.

There might be a reason the card is called the Apple Card

That’s terrific! Congratulations on your Apple Card approval!! 👏🏼🎉🍾

Agreed as others stated, using a phone will warrant great results on card management and rewards potential as you earn more with a device than the physical card.

A couple months back, they did finally launch a website to use in place of the phone for managing the account. You can use this in the meantime...
