I originally got this card to pay for a new MacBook Pro (0% interest over 18 months). I paid off the Macbook in the 18 months and only have used the card a few times since to keep it active.
As silly as it sounds, I'm almost afraid to use the card even knowing I can pay it off at the end of the month because of the statrospheric APR (like 29%). Plus the rewards are lousy.
I used to get e-mails occasionally from Barclays saying "from 6/1-7/31 use your Apple card and receive a %0 APR for whatver months", so I kept the card, thinking I would eventually get a new iPad/iPhone/whatever.
I haven't gotten one of these promo e-mails in about a year.
Does anyone else have this card? Have you gotten promo e-mails lately? Wondering if the new Sachs card is going to put the kabosh on the APR deals. If so I might has well cancel.
Call them and ask if they have any offers for you.
I'm only hanging on to mine so I can transfer the limit to my Uber card... whenever I'm able to get it.
Otherwise I don't see much use for it. Like you, I used it to get 0% financing on Macbooks for my wife and me, so it's served its purpose.
Thanks CreditInspired and MrDisco99. I hadn't considered either of those approaches.
I'll keep it (as SACT51 suggests) until time comes to drop some major money with Apple. I'll call about a promo deal before and see what they say. Otherwise I'll probably apply for another Barclays card and just move the CL over.
I could make use of either their AA or Uber card.
I also got the card to finance my Macbook Pro for 18m 0% about 2 years ago - paid off in a year.
BUT
I was looking at Apple Watches for Xmas and on the Apple.com site just yeasterday - it listed 2 Apple Card payment types -
1) New Apple Card and get 3% cash back
or
2) Barclays Apple Card for 0%

If you want 0% on an Apple purchase - it was always available on the Barclay's card everytime I have looked. Not as knowledgeable on the new Apple Card as far as when 0% promos are available . . . . .
Well for those of you with this card, check your e-mail. Up to 24 months 0% deferred (not 0% interest per se) interest starting 11/20. Might get the new 16 inch MBP. I don't know if I was targeted or is it everyone.
