As a privacy product the Apple Card is interesting, but as a financial product the interest rates are high and the rewards boring. All it takes is another bank to say "we will also have a strong and clear privacy agreement with you" and they will match Apple in my mind.
- reaperducer 7y agoDon't hold your breath waiting for it.
- robjan 7y agoPretty sure that privacy and good rewards can't go together. There is a reason that high earners are entitled to better rewards with traditional cards and it's because their data is more valuable.
- ghaff 7y ago>rewards boring I mostly like "boring" when it comes to card rewards. I find the more "exciting" they get the harder rewards are to use or at least to use in a way that actually is of more value than a theoretically smaller amount of cash, e.g. flight and hotel upgrades that are nice enough but which I wouldn't actually pay for out of my pocket.
- nilkn 7y agoIt seems like a pretty decent card for most people with a number of privacy, security, and usability upgrades. I'd get it if I wasn't able to extract most of the benefits and rewards from my Amex Platinum. As it stands, it's hard to beat the flight, lounge, Uber, and hotel benefits if you go on trips even semi-regularly.
