How exactly is a 100% return lame when people go nuts over 6.67% return SUBs?

What Apple is doing is obviously working for them. To the average person, this is probably much more attractive than "spend $1500 to get $100" is.

I suspect that you know the answer!   In this case, if you have a need to spend $75 at Nike, then yes, it's pretty good.   But it's the same argument people have against the CSR/Amex Gold annual fee offsets: if you use just to use, it's really not that valuable.   Whereas $100 after $1,500 spend.

But I also agree that many people will think it's great.

It's not like Nike is some niche store that nobody can find anything they want at though. Nike is the number one shoe brand in the world. If you don't need them, chances are pretty good you know someone who would like them as a gift and we are rolling right into the holidays.

While it is  great offer for those who are already planning to buy something at Nike, I really would expect the majority of people are going to get it and look at it as getting something free at Nike.  BUT if you like Nike and will use what you get for free then that isn't a bad thing.  It's not for me but I suspect that some people can benefit in some way.  Thanks OP for sharing!

If you're going to buy at Nike anyway this is a great SUB, and if not, it's not useful, just like the CSR / Gold situation... if you're making purchases just to get the credits, you are not really "saving".

So this is a niche SUB, perhaps, although it's a great return on spend if you were going to spend at Nike anyway!

Interesting how some are seeing Nike and others are seeing Panera Bread as a sub.

I agree!  I thought it was a good deal.  I was planning to buy something from the Nike store soon and was planning to also get an Apple Card. For me at least this is perfect!

yeah no different than getting a $70 Amazon gift card for getting the Amazon Visa😉

lol. In the Nike thing i can see it as i alluded to earlier. Get a $70 gift card from Amazon is a SUB , just this is exclusively with Nike. $70 or $75 is still $70 or $75 regardless where spent

Well, obviously individual situations differ, but I would think $70 Amazon is easier to use than $70 on Nike.   To go extreme, two pieces of paper (a $50 and a $20) from the Federal Reserve, or $70 back from Nike.   Same thing, right!
