Re: Apple Card Offer Declined

I agree with you. Maybe it will catch on in the future?

I think BB&T has something similar if you are in their geographical area.

Re: Apple Card Offer Declined

Agreed also that it’d be nice if it was always that way but I doubt it will be. How often on here do you see “I got approved for _______, but the CL was only $1500. If I had known it’d be that low I wouldn’t have taken the HP.” Banks would tend to not get as many customers if they showed them the disappointment before accepting the offer, and that’s lost interest/swipe fee revenue...

Right?? Like it can obviously be done, so why are no other banks doing this? Well, I mean, I understand why, but I've never seen any other bank offer anything like this before, unless you're already a member of that bank. 

I think I've found the sacred map that may lead me to this garden everyone keeps talking about.

I wanted to see what would be offered with my profile, so I thought I would share some DP's.

 

Credit line offered: $10k (Offer was less than 10% of income, but seemed rounded)

APR: 17.99

 

Score: 819

Income: Low 6 figures

Credit Profile: Thick profile with about 20 cards. About 5% util, DTI is probably around about 30% (would have to crunch numbers, but cant be much higher). Low inquiries (less than 5 over 24 months, nothing within last 12 months on TU)

 

Highend Cards:  Penfed at $50k, Discover at $46k, BOA at $56k, Two AMEX one at $25k, the other at $32.5k, Navy at 50k, Usbank at $25k, Paypal Mastercard $25k, Walmart store $25k

Low End Cards: Local CU CC: $12k, Local CU Od: $4k, Crapone: $6.5k (my oldest), Navchek: $15k, Citi: $15k (had a $32k line until they sold it, they been going slow ever since), Chase Amazon at $15k, and Chase Freedom (2nd oldest) at $17.5.

Car loan at 75% paid off. 

Last new account: About 7 months ago now

 

So, i feel they low balled the offer significantly. Perhaps the CC debt scared them away a bit, but it seems like $10k is the average credit line offered for those in my range. I was hoping they may surprise me with something like 30k or etc that would peak my interest. I just was not willing to get a new account for something so low, and no indications of future growth.

 

Ironically, GS has been always willing to offer me fixed loans for $100k+

 


Wow, what an awesome credit profile. It could be that Apple/GS felt you wouldn't need higher than $10K since you already have quite a few prime cards in your arsenal.

And this is why Apple is Apple. They're creative and have always been the brand that leads the pack.

Re: apple two denials and an approval which I rejected, data points

That is interesting. With a measly 622 FICO9 score they approved me for $1000 with a 23.99 APR. Im in the garden, have been for about 9 months, going on 10 soon. My profile is rather strong aside from scores. I was shocked that they even offered me something lol

Of course I declined. I am focusing on the rebuild. Once my scores are up and UTL is down I will try to check for a new approval.


With the new iPhones that are coming out this week.. it is super tempting in regards to the Apple card 😭😩

Thank you. Smiley Wink

 

The "wallet" app is on your iPhone. Look in Settings and scroll down to Wallet & Apple Pay.
