I don't think so, the 2% cash back comes from using Apple Pay on the phone or watch, not the physical card. With the card itself, you're getting 1%. On direct from Apple purchases using Apple Pay, you get 3%.
» guess I opened this tab awhile ago and all the other replies weren't there before I put this! Better info from joltdude.

THere are some exceptions on using the virtual card number and physical card.. but in general your right...
The key one is for purchasing through apple or relating to apple... Cannot use Apple pay for IUP payments (or used to) but you can charge it to the virtual card number of the apple card and still get 3%...
Did find this...

Iphone Upgrade Program.... Its the financing at 0% for 24 months that doesnt involve the Apple Card where you can turn in your phone at any time after the first year and get a new one, without paying the remaining balance on it....
It also requires a credit check and goes through Citizens One bank.....
It's how iv paid for two Iphones....

Can't answer that.. Folks did have problems with the physical card being accepted at Apple stores but that was some time ago. Had to open the virtual card on their Apple device and give them the card number...
Yes I am saying Walgreens is an exception for the physical card getting 3% back... if you use it through the drive up...
Might want to check the current status of this online.... still think its valid.... even though the article said june 30
All kidding aside, if you seriously just use it for financing its not a bad deal and not awkward...
Also Apple is working on QR based Apple Pay... which means youll likely be able to use the tablet (albeit awkward) in more places...
