Our Verdict

Initially, Apple Card didn’t offer any signup bonus, then we saw them do $50 bonuses at a specific partners like Walgreen’s or Panera Bread. This $75 offer is the highest ever, though personally I’d find the Walgreen’s offer, for example, more appealing since it’s easy to spend $50 there on a gift card or whatnot.

Update History:

• Update 10/22/23: The $100 offer is no longer available. $75 offer after first purchase came back and is valid through 1/16/24. (ht Albert)
• Update 8/14/23: $75 bonus is back through September 12th at this link. (ht USCCG)
• Update 6/2/23: The $75 cashback offer (after any purchase) is still around through June 6th. There’s also a new $75 Ace Hardware offer through June 30th after spending $75 Ace Hardware – Direct Link. (ht Celia) Based on prior reader experiences, it’s seems likely that you can get both of these $75 bonuses by signing up via the cash offer and then doing a $75 purchase at Ace Hardware; see these comments: 1, 2
• Update 5/24/23: They sent this out again via email, here’s the new offer link. I believe the link would work for anyone. Valid through May 31st. Another update: a reader notes there’s a better offer for $75 cashback with any purchase by June 6th – Direct Link. One reader reports somehow getting both promos to stack.
• Update 9/18/22: Deal is back for $75 cashback with $75 Nike purchase. Valid through 10/15/22. You’ll also get 6% back at Nike through 10/15/22. (ht usccs) Some people have an offer via Credit Karma for $100. Update 10/16/21: Deal is back and valid until 11/13/21. Hat tip to reader Simon B
