Other than paying off my large Mac purchases over time, I've found very little use for this card in the wild.
Bank of America select cash back does 3% on all online purchases, including apple.
Chase freedom does 1.5% on everything. (which is a negligible difference from the 2% Apple Pay perk)
The combination really puts apple only perk as 0% APR.
I'm sure someone will vehemently tell me how wrong I am but, this is basically an in store credit card good for deferring payments only.
Citi Double Cash is also a no fee card that gets flat 2% back on everything.
The Apple Card just truly isn’t a competitive product for anything other than the 0% financing and 3% cash back at Apple, and even that isn’t particularly standout, as you mentioned.
