I wish I got a similar offer last week before I got the Apple card. I don't use my Apple Card for anything except financing Apple products but for $150 I would for 3 months. For me Apple Card is a 1% cashback card because I very rarely use Apple Pay. I got the Apple Card for 2 reasons: financing Apple products (used it for Apple Watch and will use it for an iPhone probably this year), and utilization padding.

My prefectly stretched out leather wallet would be too baggy if I all of a sudden removed 10 cards.

That happened to me 2 months ago, then I decided to just ditch the trifold. Got a Esker wallet (fits in front pocket). Holds my ID, medical card, and it can hold up to 8 physical cards, but I just keep 4 in mine. All the rest of my cards are in Apple Wallet, and cash is in my money clip. It took a while to get used to but it's so much easier (and my left butt check doesn't get sore after sitting on a stuffed wallet all day long).

AOD is so hard to replace as a catch all card. I try to give others spend when they have 3% or more, but a lot of times it's just 3% max when it's not grocery, gas or streaming so I'm really wasting my time when I can just use AOD lol. I really hope they never decide to nuck the 3% for us that got on the train. They don't have to offer any short time promos or extra benefits. The 3% ob everything is good enogh for me.

Yup! A day does not go by that I am not grateful for the 3% everything AOD. And I really should thank this site, not sure I would have known about AOD without you guys. Though, somehow I found Nusenda on my own, lol. But, yeah, every day with the AOD in its current form is a "gift", lol. My Plan B's, if/when AOD reduces its 3% CB reward include: Alliant 2.5%, upgrade Cash Rewards Elite 2.2%, or just stick with my citi DC which I think is/can/will be a 2.22% card when/if I can figure out how to link it to my Rewards+.
My Apple card is my favorite and my everyday card. We use BoA Cash for groceries and gas and the BoA travel for all our other bills but the Apple is our everything card for that 2%. What I like about it is that we were able to put it on our son's phone and limit his transactions he can make and monthly limit. Plus, he gets 2% back to his ApplePay
Is the AOD 3% CB a special offer? I do not see that posted on their website. All I see is 1% CashBack on ALL Purchases & an Additional 1% CashBack on Gas & Restaurants.
As for the Apple Card, I might get it once I decide to buy a new MacBook pro. I do use Apple Pay regularly so it might make sense to eventually pull the trigger.

The AOD 3% CB on everything card is no longer offered to new applicants but those of us lucky enough to have gotten on the train are grandfathered in (so far).
I agree with @Yasselife @SeaProbe @ralvarez2678 on this one.
Yes, it requires Apple Pay mobile payment to work as a 2% card. But many vendors accept Apple Pay nowadays. Only in sit-down restaurants do I have to worry about having an actual "physical" card.
The cashback earned is put into my Daily Cash the day after transaction, and it gets updated everyday. Without minimum redemption requirement, I can transfer any amount back into my bank account, and the transfer takes just 1 day to post in my bank account. I am not sure how much easier it can get.
Security is top notch, and requests can be made all so easily within my phone with fast response. For a No-AF, No-FTF card, this is excellent in my opinion.
I don't buy a lot of Apple products, but the ability to finance most Apple products is also a nice bonus as well.
I am not too fixated in the desire to get a "true" 2% card, as my small set of cards are more than suitable for my needs, and any "general" categorical spend go towards 30-transaction 50% bonus on my AMEX EDP, so it is all good for me.
I am, however, entertaining the idea of opening up accounts with either PenFed or SoFi and apply for their 2% card in the near future, but it isn't totally necessary.
