But does Apple realizes what it’s in for. By making it so easy to sign up via the iPhone, Apple is going to be flooded with Apple Card applications. And the company won’t be able to accept them all, so it will probably begin with the most credit-safe users, as well as the wealthiest ones, flashing this sleek titanium rectangle at cash registers where they probably could have used Apple Pay.

No

I would appreciate just one article about rewards cards that omits the work "perks."

I guess we will see.  

 

At at this point, I don't GAF.  This might be the only card I pass on -- even if Hege urges me to apply.  😀

Apple is about to transform the entire credit card industry by issuing a $0 AF card containing over $1 worth of pure titanium!!!!

[Burgerwars]

I need another card like a hole in the head, but when is this $#&@*! card coming out?

[cv91915]

I've had a pearl white 3/2/1 card with no AF since 2013.  It's called a PayPal Extras Mastercard.

 

I just need some Wite-Out for the numbers on the back.

How Apple Card Compares to Other Credit Cards

[cashnocredit]

This writer needs a bit of credit education. This blows my mind:

 

Some people think that paying off a credit card entirely every month is best, but it's actually better to have about 10% of the card's balance remaining with payments made on-time regularly.

Daily cash back.

This is absolutely true from the bank's POV.

Yep, and carrying 40% of your CL they like even more! Not enough to worry and a nice income stream.

Apple, goldman’s unlikely credit card collaboration nears launch

[Burdell]

As much as I'd like to get one as soon as they launch it, I'll probably wait until March or April.  I've already opened one new account this year as it is. And I've learned from experience it's almost never a good thing to be an early adopter with Apple. Even their best products have bugs when they first come out.  Best to let them work out the kinks with the early adopters and wait for the second release.

Damned you, Hege!  You convinced me again!!!

 

I'm going to App the second it launches.  

 

Are you sure your last name isn't Mattel?  You sure make me accumulate a helluva lot of plastic.
