While I also don't want another credit card since I'm still paying the one I have off, the Apple Card does present a compelling argument. My wife and I already spend around $30 per month on Apple stuff, mostly in-app purchases but also Apple Music, and being guaranteed to get 3% of that back in the form of Apple Cash does peek my interest. $30 per month is not much, but $360 per year is, and getting a percentage back from Apple related purchases or Apple Pay may be notable. They did not say, and I'm hoping it is addressed in one of the many articles yet to come, if it will be possible to transfer the Daily Cash as they called it, or reward money, from one's Apple Cash allotment to one's bank account. I was also interested in the physical Apple Card they mentioned, and that there will not be a 3 digit security code on the card itself. I wonder how this will work with stores and banks. Time will tell I suppose.
