Maybe one of the reasons those people are 'fabulously wealthy' is because they get *and* take advantage of good deals like this?
To get the 5%, you have to spend $15k first and then the 5% is not even retroactive to the $15k? Somebody should tell Apple that insulting your customers' intelligence isn't usually an effective promotional technique.
Wells Fargo Active Cash card gives you 2% cash back on EVERYTHING. No promotions or gimmicks. You don't feel compelled to spend more than you should.
I hate this kind of marketing where some MBAs think they're going to fool the consumer in spending more because they read something in a marketing book. They're as useful as the HR department.

It's misleading stuff like this (details for this offer will be buried in the fine print) that lead to the CFPB fining Apple and Goldman Sachs nearly $90 million

Following an investigation, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) today announced it has fined Apple and Goldman Sachs nearly $90...

I wish this had been offered a month ago. I would have definitely been able to make use of it from the Apple toys I bought. Unless one is already planning on making some large purchases, this isn’t really a good deal.
Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Ramadan, New Years, Chinese New Years, St Patrick’s Day, Valentine's Day, Groundhogs Day, 4/20. It’s a long season really
Wrong on all counts, I easily put over 15k on my Apple card over the holidays every year... I am not fabulously wealthy... I do very much care about this deal... and I haven't paid a single penny in interest in many many years now.
Offers like this work if you own a load of bars or something and buy from all your suppliers this way.
Read the details. This is not meant to be for everyone. In fact, it's not even for everyone who may want to use it as it is specifically limited to select Apple Card users only.
Total scam? Perhaps you need to look up the definition of scam.
Plenty of cards, especially those without an annual fee, don't offer any cash back at all.
I would assume the $5,000 to $15,000 thresholds are for the life of the promotion, not per month. Also, you are very much mistaken if you don't think plenty of "wealthy" people care about credit card deals/offers.
Or... save 100% by not buying a bunch of crap you don't need.
I don’t know for sure, but I think probably the four and five percent would still apply. It wouldn’t drop down to three percent on installments made after April 2025. The installments program operates separately from the Apple Card, you won’t see the Daily Cash until you pay each installment, but it is accounted for when you make the purchase.
This could be an incentive to act quickly if Apple has a March or April 2025 event introducing the M4 Ultra Mac Studio/Pro refresh and the new 8K 120Hz Pro Display XDR. Pro users could easily spend $15K then and there, just for one seat’s worth of hardware.
