Our Verdict
There was a similar offer for June at Walgreen’s. This offer is even easier since there’s no minimum spend – just any Apple Service purchase – and you get the $50 cash. Previous to June, no signup bonus was being offered at all.
Now the race is on to find the cheapest Apple Service purchase. I’m sure there are lots of Apple Music purchases which cost $.99 or even less.

DP: reload $1, and earned $50 + 0.03
Another DP for not being able to match the offer. Opened the card on 6/28. Multiple chats with customer support lead nowhere and actually make for a very frustrating experience as they never respond right away and then after they respond and you remember about and try to respond back, you have to go through the menu again and the new rep has no idea what’s going on. Lame.
Has anyone tried reloading their Apple credit to receive the $50 bonus. Just wondering if it worked because I have an iTunes balance.
Won’t work if you have a balance cuz the charge won’t go on the card.
Why is there any overlap between DoC readers and those who want this card? It seems like a terrible, terrible card, and a $50 sign up bonus doesn’t change that.
Does it cost you anything to get this, other than a HP which, if you’re 5+/24, doesn’t matter? No. DoC posts deals for free tacos lol, $50 for no effort is going to be useful for a lot of people. The card has no fees so you can sock-drawer it anyway if you really think its that terrible.
Yeah, we’d cover deals on popular credit cards, regardless. But in this case I think there are people who like Apple products or for other reasons want the card, so this extra $50 bonus is just extra gravy.
I see one reason.. No AF, 2%(though limited to Apple Pay) card with no FTF.. small segment but niche nevertheless :p
Facts:
DoC users use computers (either desktop, laptop, tablet, or mobile).
Apple sells computers (desktop, laptop, tablet, and mobile).
Apple card gives 3% cash back and 0% financing on Apple computers (desktop, laptop, tablet, and mobile).
$50 is gravy on top.
You seem confused.
And
Andy makes the excellent point about 2% cash back with no FTF, and in certain countries Apple Pay is accepted pretty much everywhere.
And yes, I was definitely confused, which is why I wrote anything in the first place. I’m less confused now.
How am I supposed to pay for anything with my new card if I have $100+ gift card balance? Anyone have any ideas?
You can try reloading $1 balance onto the card, that should count as an App Store purchase afaik.

Purchase something on a family account. For some reason family purchases alway go through the the organizer’s default card instead of the balance.
Did you find anything that works because I also have a high gift card balance?
Got approved 4 days ago. Texted card support, they were not able to match.
Does this cause a hard pull and get reported to the credit agencies?
If so, I’m curious why anyone is getting excited about a $50 bonus on a 2% back (at best) card. Doc has posted dozens of cards with better ROI. What am I missing?
only after you’re approved IIRC, reports to TU only
So if it only reports to TU will it affect 5/24?
Sorry for not understanding but would my credit score get lowered because what you are describing quango sounds like it would?
add .01 to apple id…
I tried earlier as a test and the minimum amount you can add is $1
They have a .99c iCloud storage plan, if you don’t already have this, you can subscribe and cancel.
Another thing they did today was that they added a proper web portal to manage the card, which makes this card a much safer suggestion for a first card, as it no longer requires an iPhone to manage/pay for things.
Finally! Wonder if $50 is the max we’ll see on this card?
FYI, if you have a gift card balance on your account, they will use that credit FIRST for any purchases.
Yep, highest ever
Maybe next time you can make a purchase anywhere for that $50.
You could try to reload your balance as a service.
