Is the Apple Card worth it? That’s the question nearly everyone asks me after I pull out the sleek titanium card. As far as appearances go, it’s hard to find a better-looking credit card. Minimalist and premium-looking, the Apple Card follows the path set by the iPhone or MacBook Air. If you’re the kind of Apple user who wants to flex by pulling out a sweet card, it doesn’t get much sweeter than this.
If you like using Apple Pay on your iPhone or Apple Watch, the Apple Card is worth considering. With 2% daily cash back on any purchases made through the tap-to-pay mobile payment system, it’s one of the more generous cash-back cards on the market. Frequent Uber riders will also appreciate the 3% cash back it offers if you use Apple Pay and the Apple Card in the app.
The 3% discount on Apple gear from the Apple Store, as well as Apple services and subscriptions, should be used carefully. If you subscribe to Apple Music or iCloud, or buy a lot of stuff on iTunes or the App Store, it’s a no-brainer choice. For third-party subscription services, however, like HBO via the Apple TV app for example, other cards offer better cash-back arrangements. The physical card, while slick-looking, only provides 1% cash back. Since it also lacks the perks you’d get with many other cards, such as extended warranties, it makes less sense for daily use.
