Apple has unveiled two limited-time sign-up bonuses for its Apple Card, allowing new users to earn up to $300 in Daily Cash rewards. The offers, running until January 13th, include a $100 reward for spending $500 and a targeted $300 reward for spending $1500 within 60 days.
Limited-Time Apple Card Sign-Up Bonuses
At least two additional Apple Card sign-up bonuses are available for a limited time only. The Apple Card is not like other rewards credit cards in that it usually does not offer a sign-up bonus. Take advantage of this opportunity if you're considering applying for an Apple Card!
In August, Apple conducted two similar limited-time promotions, and this time around, everything is the same. The deadline for both deals is January 13th, giving you roughly a month to make up your mind.
$100 Bonus With $500 Spend on Apple Card
This initial deal, which requires new customers to spend $500 within the first sixty days of account opening, is being promoted by Apple across various social media platforms. A hundred dollars will be available in your Apple Cash or Apple Card Savings accounts after that, with an annual percentage yield (APY) of 3.9% right now.
This offer is not a statement credit like some other credit cards, so you have more leeway to spend the $100 anyway you like.
To take advantage of this limited-time offer, register by January 13th at this link if you're interested.
"Preview your new Apple Card credit limit offer" is the subject line of the second offer, which is a targeted email.
$300 Bonus for Higher Spending on Apple Card
Spend $1500 on your new Apple Card during the first 60 days to earn $300 Daily Cash with this deal. You are not limited to using this Daily Cash as a statement credit, as was the case with the previous offer.
If you think Apple may have targeted you for this offer, you might want to examine your inbox, according to 9to5Mac. If it doesn't work, try this link instead; it probably won't provide you with anything particularly relevant, though. The deadline for users to consider is January 13th, as before.
