In practice, this means that card customers can view their statements, pay their invoices (with scheduling rights) and access contact links for card support over the web. The novelty is good both for those who prefer to solve these things by computer and for those who have lost their iPhone and need to access such card features in some way.

Cashback from $ 50

Another novelty of the Apple Card: the Apple is giving a cashback from $ 50 for new users who use the card to pay for any company service (Apple Music, Apple TV +, App Arcade, etc.) or even a simple purchase on the App Store.

According to Apple, the value will be provided as cashback after qualifying purchase; the offer, however, is only valid for new customers who join the card this July.

Payment extension

Once again, customers will be able to postpone payment of their invoice for a few weeks or months, without charging fees or fines that would normally be applied in situations like this – all, of course, due to the pandemic of the new Coronavirus (COVID-19) .
