Re: Goldman Sachs - Apple Card Lender DPs

it would be great if another apple device could be used outside of an iphone, my parents have iphone 5s and can’t sign up through a wallet app. other options outside of using the iphone maybe the ipad or mac?

It's meant to be used primarily on the phone or watch, so there's no point in letting people sign up on other devices where they could only use a card. Also, there are far, far more iphones out there than Macs or iPads - there are relatively few people who'd have a currentt one but don't have an iPhone.

Re: Apple Unveils new Apple Card

Check out this Apple support document: "How your Apple Card application is evaluated".

 

It mentions FICO 9: "Goldman Sachs uses TransUnion and other credit bureaus to evaluate your Apple Card application. If your credit score is low (for example, if your FICO9 score is lower than 600), Goldman Sachs may not be able to approve your Apple Card application."

 

And maybe they really do pull a Chex Systems report (listed under reasons for denial): "Your checking account was closed by a bank (for example, due to repeatedly spending more than your available account balance)."

The confirmed sources are TransUnion, SageStream, CoreLogic, Chex, and Equifax.

Yes, people are getting denied because they changed their phone number thanks to SageStream...

I suppose. It would have been nice to have a promo no interest period as well similar to Barclaycard with Apple Rewards.

Re: Apple Unveils new Apple Card

again lets try this, I am not happy with Apple card pist off. With scores over 800 and total out standing balance less then my total credit lines and never been late and have been at present address for over 50 years. Also have never over drawn my checking accounts and have same banks for over 15 years. I should had gotten better intrest rate then 17.99 percent cl over what I got from Gs. My income is 75K. I have better cards with much better intrest rates. Spoke to Gs again and got no wher with them, was told same BS you will need to look at my credit report. May be thay are picking something up that happen over 20 years ago. Did not except apple card at this time will try again in couple of months. Rebuilding your credit and getting score over 800 and have low ulitization around 2 percent and doing every thing right is not good enough for GS.

Way to bring more attention to yourself, SageStream!

 

I can't wait for "I'm the CEO of SageStream...AMA!", completely run by a good PR firm, of course. "Can we just stick to Rampart?"

Re: Apple Unveils new Apple Card

So any good reports regarding approvals on this card? Most of the topics in the Approval/App section seem to be from people who are denied or unhappy with the CL or APR. 

 

Is the low number of approval threads due to it being invite only? I only received an invite once I updated my iphone.
