Re: Apple card terms are out...

Even for Apple products, without AppleCare or some other perk included, you can get better deals on Amazon for anything except the iPhone (Amazon doesn’t carry them last I checked unless they are locked to Simple Mobile) and the choice between 5% cash back and 0% deferred financing on the Amazon cards makes them much better.

This card is for people who are either interested in the technology side, people who use Apple Pay everywhere, and people who don’t care about rewards but love Apple products.

I utilize Google services, vs Apple. But the problem with not using Apple Pay is the same as why i don't use Google Pay very often.

It's because not that many merchants accept it yet. As soon as you have all the merchants that accept a standard credit/debit card, accepting Google/Apple Pay then you'll have more people using the service.

I'm not sure about that. Otherwise, I would expect a lot more people to be using Samsung Pay (which does MST for terminals without NFC)--which doesn't seem to have happened either.

 

Regardless, I might be down for a Google credit card as an Android user if it gave me bonus points for using Google Pay.

Yes, I agree, part of it at least seems to be choice/awareness or something.   All of the supermarkets I go to accept AP/GP/SP but I see the vast majority of people still using credit cards (and not contactless at that!)   Since most seem to be carrying phones, it's either choice not to do so (perhaps switching to a phone seems slower or less easy than just pulling out a credit card as the Good Lord intended) or they don't know you can use mobile wallet) or both.

 

In the UK in contrast, I saw almost everyone using contactless or phones.

It’s aimed at MY demographic lol. Silly millenials who would do anything to have the latest piece of Apple gold. It’s gonna be a struggle not to take this one....

I’m trying to resist the urge to, as I’m definitely gardening until September 30th for sure, maybe longer. But yes, it’s very hard to resist because it’s Apple.

Re: Apple cards terms are out...

I have to admit, I am surprised at the MyFico disdain - almost venom- toward this credit card. 

 

Although it is not the best rewards card, it is not trying to be.

 

For a no annual fee card that is not even released, it sure is getting a lot of criticism.   I welcome new products in the credit market, and think it has the chance to be succesful.  It also has a chance to provide some lessons learned, mature, change.

 

On a personal note, I am glad that as a person with marginal credit, it may provide value to me as I rebuild my credit profile.

Are we reading the same posts? I didn't see that much disdain. I'll go back and check; it's possible I missed something.
