      Adam! I am stuck at the $250 credit limit. Had the card 6 months and tried to climb the "Reconsideration line" but they don't have one. The third supervisor I spoke to just said we can't manually evaluate. What do I do? I have pedal 800$ limit and credit one $300 limit....Kohls and target 400$ limits. Should I close? I cant use more than $20 without it really affecting my credit utilization. Thank you......GO GUARDIANS??????
      Thx Adam...Love your stuff!

    • @ScreensAndStreams
      @ScreensAndStreams  3 года назад +2

      No reason to close it, will just need to be patient. You have a lot of credit lines with low limits so i would not get any more cards until the limits start to go up on some of what you already have.

    Guys just use the card with Apple Pay/Apple Wallet ( almost every retailer uses it ) and get 2%, if you buying Apple products heck use it with a plan you can pay confortable with NO interest rate plus get your 3% and move on ! Is it the best card ? Heck no but is better than plenty cards out here. Just keep it below 30% Utilization and pay in FULL 3-4 days before your due date. I’m a banker so I know what I wrote. You’re welcome.

    I don’t know if this changed since you made the video but you can definitely transfer the money on your Apple Cash card to your bank account. You can immediately transfer it to your debit card for a fee or it takes 1-3 days to get to your checking account for no fee. You have to have your bank linked with the card though.

    Youre looking at this with the glass is half empty pov, yes the cash back is only 1% when using the physical card but if you are in a “building credit” mode there are cards that give no cash back at all…so atleast you get something utilizing this option.

      nah dude, use the 0% interest payment plan. If you buy an apple product with it they will let you put it on a payment plan for free. Why spend $2k up front when you can pay it back over 2 or 3 years at 0%? Basically a free loan and who doesn't like free money? Keep your money in your pocket for as long as possible.

    not just apple pay...its wherever they have the nfc (touchless) payments. i am running into more gas stations that have the nfc at the pump. that's 2% back. nfc is at about 90% of the retails i daily. some of the restaurants are updating to pay at the table...nfc 2% back. when they dont, i ask the waiter if they do the nfc, about half do, so i use my phone.

    It sounds like the pros to using this cards depend on how you intend to use it. I would only use it to buy apple products. Therefore, it wouldn't be disappointing for me. I don't need it for credit as I have excellent credit already but I would be able to finance my apple products interest free. I have another credit card that I use for everything that gives great rewards so I will continue using that card as is. I think it all depends on what you need to use this card for.

    Note that you can link a bank account and transfer money from Apple Cash in Wallet (where your Daily Cash goes) in addition to paying people/paying the Apple Card (in the video you said that money won’t get deposited into a bank account, which isn’t entirely true).

    Adam,
    Always love your videos. You always bring the real honest reviews of this card or that card. My wife got this card and she is on the Apple eco system. I also got it and I am on Android I did my application online because I was buying my wife her Mac Book Air. I figured I had the money anyway and 3 percent back why not.. it isn't that great of a card outside the iPhone apple eco system. You would think that they would make it 2 percent cash back on physical card and 3 percent apple pay. 4 percent for the Apple products. Then I could say it could be an everyday card. There are rumors that a refresh and a new more prestigious apple card is coming out.

    So I got the Apple Card as my first credit card. And it’s been awesome. I tried getting a credit card from a regular bank chase and Bank of America unfortunately I wasn’t eligible for any even the basics because I didn’t have a line of credit which to me is so confusing because if you’ve never had a card how does one improve their credit score? Thankfully due to the Apple Card I’ve raised my credit score from 0 to 750 in about a year. It’s been great
