What are your thoughts on the Apple Card? 🍎
Multipliers were weak compared to Chase Amazon Prime on a durable product i didn't intended to replace annually.
In short not worth the inquiry, made no sense.
I’m going to put y’all on Apple Card has a sign up bonus of 75$ when you spend 75 dollars at Nike +a 6% back on up to 500 dollars at Nike. I’m from Oregon so the employee store ain’t too far giving me back essentially 46% off the store on up to 500$ for me personally it has gave me tremendous value and also I did the freezing transunion hack so I wouldn’t get a hard pull not hindering my chase 5/24. I would recommend this card if it makes sense for you.
My thoughts on the Apple Card is that it sucks, on account of Goldman Sachs. 🤣 I hear that Goldman Sachs is not good with consumer credit, which explains their problem with certain applicants. Including their own CEO who didn't qualify for their card either. 🤣
And the good news is that the Apple Card is not needed when there's the Amazon Store Card that offers the same interest-free payments on all Apple products that Apple offers. 😉 QVC did us in with their markups on old Apple stuff, and now that racket is over with, with the Amazon Store Card. 😊
Amazon made it possible to get new Apple products and not get ripped off getting them on payments. 🤩
The Apple Card will die a silent death when no Bank or Financial institution will pick it up.
This Credit Card is literally making the banks go broke. That to me sounds like a damned good card.
I love my Apple Card. I use it everyday, except 4 days before my billing cycle end. I have yet to pay interest rate. I love the 0% financing on Apple Products.
what purchases are you using it for everyday? Is it Apple Pay purchases?
Also while online shopping, if I notice a site offers Apple Pay I’ll use it there for extra Daily Cash
@@arabiajohnson good point
No extended warranty is a deal breaker IMO.
Whilst I still used my Apple Card for most offline transactions I try to avoid online as I was shocked to find out they don’t do charge backs. Support is also poor with chat support kicking you between Apple and Goldman Sachs since neither can solve most issues independently.
I'd rather get the amex blue cash everyday where I get 3% back on online shopping, gas, groceries, a sign up bonus and 0% apr for 12 months
oh ya. those are constant valuable categories to have
Yeah or the NavyFed More Rewards More Rewards AMEX card 0 annual fee you can earn 20,000 bonus points (a $200 value) when you spend $1,500 within 90 days of account opening.
3X points at restaurants and on food delivery
3X points at supermarkets
3X points on gas and transit
1X points on everything else
I think it’s 15months not 12
How soon is "too soon" to ask for a credit increase?
I have a credit score over 800. I have the card and use it for everything. Pay it off every month raking in the cash never have had any problems pulling cash out. I got this card because I quit Using Disney card
I carried a $4k balance and tried to pay my iPhone payment plan off early and it told me I had to clear the higher interest balance first (entire balance) then I could apply money towards the plan. For people that don't carry a balance they can pay more towards the plan, but if the have a balance, they can't until they clear it first. So I went and cleared the balance a few months later and don't use the card anymore. Only for the plan in the future.
I love how hard it feels to hold in the 🙌 ~
thats what she said
@@ChaseYokoyama Mmmmhmm~~
guys wtf i thought this was about credit cards 😭
@@idklol12876 😂😂😂😂😂
It never made sense for me, so never got it. I think is a decent card, that’s easy to get approved. Great overview and video Chase!
Exactly! Much better cards out there 👍🏼 Thank you Cesar!
I got the apple card the day before yesterday, I wanted to finance 2 iphones. Yesterday when I got the phones I could not finance thru apple card or apple finance because my cellphone company is X-finity. I was upset, I'm only going to get the 3% cash back.
i've never actually used my physical apple card lol
Same!
It’s a good card for those that are new to credit and don’t understand how things work. It’s also decent enough as a catch-all card for non-bonus category spending via Apple Pay. I have it and like it, but it’s not a daily driver for me. This a very random, but a big reason I wanted it was that it’s a Mastercard and has no foreign tx fees. I was visiting a friend in Rotterdam and a number of places only took MC, so my Visa and Amex cards were no good. This is a good backup for those situations .
yes, that is true. the UI is helpful for those just getting started with credit cards. lmao that is strange that a place only took Mastercard and not even Visa 😅
If that 3% went up to 5% on Apple purchases I might would consider but even then I’m not sure if it’s worth a precious 5/24 spot 😂
Couldn’t agree more! Chase really has people in a chokehold with it’s 5/24 rule but it’s fair bc their cards are so nice
I feel the same way. I still use it sometimes. I got a targeted 5% back on dining but it only lasted for a month. It’s other cards that offer 5% back at apple and streaming subscriptions but why the actual Apple Card doesn’t for their own products is beyond me 😂
@@mancavediscussions4145 only reason it’s up for consideration is for future iPhone purchases to be able to be able to pay it off interest free. Only problem with that is me and my wife only upgraded phones at most every 2 years. I’m still on my XR while my 15 comes in mail so we pretty much run our stuff til the wheels fall off 🤣
@@jdaht right!? Especially with a 2 player set up!
hahaha 5% on Apple would go crazy! But ya not worth that precious 5/24 rule
Mainly makes sense if u only use it towards apple products for the no interest. Other then that i wouldn’t waste a 5/24 slot for it. More of a end game card for me
ya definitely not worth a 5/24 slot 🤢 great for that no interest and free credit limit boost lol
I just don't see myself getting the Apple Card. I rather use any of the keeper AMEX card to hit a SUB and to receive extended warranty, price protection, and purchase protection. As a matter of fact, I purchased a MacBook Air using my new Hilton Aspire AMEX card a few hours ago. If I didn't care about extended warranty or the other protections, I would just accumulate a bunch of Apple gift cards that are regularly on sale for 10% off and buy whatever Apple product that I'm targeting.
great points. the lack of protections just make the card that much less appealing
Where are apple gift cards 10% off?
@@Papeeshka Off the top of my head, I remember seeing it periodically on sale at Target. Also, there are credit card coupons that give you 10% cash back at CVS, grocery stores, Rite Aid, Best Buy,... effectively giving you a minimum of 10% cash back on Apple gift card purchases at these stores.
A much simpler time? 🤔
I’ve been researching this topic and all the “why you shouldn’t get an Applecard” videos are more click bait then actual points.
Usually somewhere at the end of the video they make a recommendation for a card that they make money off if you sign up 🤷🏾♂️.
Exactly. That’s why you don’t see a lot of credit union cards and others without affiliate links talked about. Sure, there may be one video here and there, but it’s hard to find in a sea of people talking about the Amex Platinum and how awesome it is. Alliant Credit Union, for example. If you bank with them and meet some basic standards, you get a $0 annual fee card with no foreign transaction fees, and a flat 2.5% on everything. Some people just want to keep it simple. Yes, you can get much more value playing the game…hell, I did it for near 20 years, but it gets exhausting trying to find ways to use up all of your credits to make sense of the high AF.
The Apple card is arguably the best way to get Apple devices on a payment plan so it'll always be worth it.
the payment plan is solo carrying that Apple Card
Nope! Not true! You can buy any Apple product you want with the Amazon Store Card and make the same no-interest payments that Apple offers. In fact, people are getting turned down for Apple Cards, including me, for no valid reason. They keep refusing me, and I thought it was just me, but it's not, bcuz the CEO at Apple didn't qualify for the Apple Card either, so there's definitely something up with their bank Goldman Sachs. 🤣
And the good news for those who can't get an Apple Card is that there's the Amazon Store Card. I got my Amazon Store Card and can get any Apple product I want, and don't need the Apple Card anymore. So, Apple payments on their stuff are no longer an excuse to have that card. I got 5 credit cards worth over 13K in credit total, and don't need an Apple Card now to get a brand new Mac whenever I want.
Can you also use the Amazon card for financing the apple products?
@@tiagovfs Yep. And they have the same payment plans with no interest.
Biggest problem with payment plan on apple card is if you want to pay it off early in whole or in part you have to clear the full balance first. They don't let you just put extra money towards the plan.
Are we able to spend over the credit limit? I accidentally got charged for full payment today for a MacBook Pro so I panicked and asked for refund then realized that I can’t do installments due to low credit limit. Now I have to wait for the pending transaction to be cleared 😩
This is not responsible. Folks should be utilizing under or up to 30% of the limit. I don’t know a single lender that will let you borrow more than you were approved for (which is often far too high anyways)
The Apple Card’s next banking provider: Apple.
😂 gotta do it yourself if you want it done right
@@ChaseYokoyama It’s the Apple Way!
what is ur favorite card in your opinion and please don’t say u have many i wanna know your number one go too 😂💪
im actually coming out with a video about this soon 🤐 but it's the Amex Platinum simply because of how much value I get from it. Its not my favorite card to earn points with tho.
If you only get approved for $2,000 you should not be buying a brand new iPhone!
ya and thats a whole nother discussion to be had.
🙏🏼🙏🏼👀
🙋🏼♀️🙏🏼
Ya its still a hard pass for me.
-No welcome offer
-Only 3% on apple instead of the industry standard of 5% for cobranded cards
-the physical card only gets 1% 👎🏼
- No intro 0% purchase apr or BT offers
All very valid points indeed
I am surely you behind technology society. get paper money from bank ?, pay by paper money, coins ? at stores, use paper, rope not write check. simply a little study history and learn next steps. It so enables me to listening back mind person.
I love my iPhone I love Apple I do, but Apple dropped the ball on this one it’s Funny you wanna know why it’s so dang funny Samsung practically gave Apple the blueprints I kid you not really pretty much show them how they can vamp up the Apple Cash card but instead Apple decided to do a credit card if you compare apples credit card to Samsung money debit card Samsung money card wins look at all the features that Samsung money debit card can do I mean it’s right there Samsung teamed up with Sofi money. All Apple had to do is team up with a financial company. That’s similar to Sofi. I mean Mercy make it make sense.
I love my Apple products, but I’m not even slightly aroused by the Apple card.
Same. Is the Apple Card one of Apple's few flops? 🤔
We need this in Canada I hope it’s American Express
Wrong!
😱
I love apple card. Its a card for simpletons. Its a small accountant in your pocket.
it does have a really nice UI
@@ChaseYokoyama it feels and looks appealing because of that. It estimate how much you owe and what you can owe.
Apple card sucks!!! They do a hard inquiry on you which affects your credit score, and you have to make high monthly payments you wouldn’t have to make on other cards that have much better advantages depending on what you want to save or earn rewards for.
Apple card never made sense 😂.
hahhaah fair point 😂
I’m sorry but this card seems very good. And they right away give you very good limit. Your video title doesn’t make sense!
