By far this is the highest sign up offer that Apple has offered for Apple Card .However Apple wants to make it as daily driver with 10 transactions per month for 10 months conditions ! Clever Apple!

I love my Chase cards. IMHO, it's the best credit card for cashback. Also, I agree, who's applying for an Apple card and uses it this many times to get AirPods 3?

Pre-tax, it's MSRP is $249 and it regularly goes on sale. For example, for this holiday weekend it's easily found $199 pre-tax.

As the other user said, going with Chase Freedom Unlimited and getting $200 after $500 spend is a better deal. It's basically equivalent and it's much easier and can be done in a single month which is much faster than this "deal", where you have to make 10 purchases for 10 months in a row, or 100 transactions. Way, way, wayyyyyyy too much work for what Apple is offering.

Imagine one of those months you accidentally only got 9 transactions...the "deal" is lost.

Is it ten transactions every month or if you do 20 one month and then zero next month it'd still count?

Yes, but that's how apple worksBig Grin the good part is (10) purchases of any amount ($0.01 or higher)
