Re: 3% cash back Apple Card now more to come

I had something interesting happen.

 

Last Monday (8/12) I app'd for the card and got an approval of $10k at 17.99, I did not accept as I was closing on a mortgage on Tuesday.

 

This morning my roommate who has better credit than I (and on the mortgage with me), applied for the card wand was denied.

 

I went in to try applying again and was denied.  Nothing has changed on my report and my TU is 740 (per Fico).  Mortgage is not reporting yet.


This is really strange especially since you had been previously approved. Please share the denial reasons for both you and your roommate.

Re: Rejoicing! Approved for Apple Card and Turned It Down

I feel really good. I'm as tickled as the beautiful colors emanating from Apple/GS logo.

 

So finally, the Apple card populated in my wallet; and no, I did not get an email. I just checked my wallet and it was there.

 

I had already noted in an earlier post that I wanted to see a SL of at least $20K in order to temp me. (Honestly, I purposely put the SL high because I really do want to stay in the garden until April 2020.)

 

Well I did It! I clickied "No Thanks" to the SL of $7.5K. Now what surprised me was the 12.99% APR offered because so many others had been getting an APR of 17.99 - 23.99% with high scores. My score--790.

 

I did it! I stuck to my guns. I turned a CC down cold. It's a darn good feeling to reject a CC approval.

 

EDIT: Finally got the photo to upload.

Rejected my offer too! $5.5K SL at 23.99%. I'll pass and keep chasing that Chase dream of being 4/24.

Congrats on their offer!
Your title had me confused. I thought they approved you then they rescinded and declined your app! Lol

An Apple not in my eye

Had the invitation in my wallet app so decided to see what' is up with this card (never had any other phone but iphone) and after inputting info it came back at $5,000 SL with 23.99%, I pressed "No Thanks".  Such a low starting limit and outrageous %, I think I only would of accepted at 20k as the 4% is only for Apple products but 1% for everything else.

Apple Card not seeing TU score?

Decided to app for Apple Card to see what SL and APR they would come back with and then decline as not too interested in the card.  Completed app, had to provide ID photo and then came back with low limit and 23.99apr.  When I reviewed terms and to check the TU score details it indicates unable to get TU score as they may not have enough info for a score or something to that effect...

 

TU is not locked or anything and have a long over 23yr credit history with TU score over 780, double checked all info and is correct, so little confused or what may be going on that they cannot see TU score?

Apple Card Approval - Told Them Thanks Anyway...

I wasn’t planning on applying for the Apple Card, however seeing that it is just a SP for the application, I decided to give it a try to see what my SL and rate would be. With my 850 FICO 8 and 9 scores, and income more than $120K, I was very curious.

Approved for $10K, 12.99%. I declined the offer. While I know that $10K is not bad and a lot of people would kill for that, I decided that it just wasn’t worth the HP and resetting my AoYA. The $10K would have been one of my lowest limits and the benefits just don’t excite me.

Have many others been accepted and told them “thanks anyway”?

Year 2012: All Scores in the 520 range, during a foreclosure, CC Settlement and high UTIL. Very ugly days...
April 2023: EX8: 840; EQ8: 832; TU8: 842 -- Middle Mortgage Score: 822
In My Wallet: Discover $73.7K; Cap1 Venture $48.7K; Amex ED $38K; Amex Optima $2.5K; Amex Delta Gold $18K; Citi Costco $22.5K; Cap1 Plat $8.4K; Barclay $7K; Chase Amazon $6K; BoA Plat $21.6K; Citi TY Pref $21K; US Bank $4K; Dell $5K; Care Credit $6.5K. Total Revolving CL: $296K
My UTIL: Less than 1% - Only allow about $10 a month to report, on one account. .
