Deals: Apple Card Promo Offers Free AirPods Pro 3, Kind Of
Apple is launching a promotion whereby they will give you $250 in cash back for signing up for a new Apple Card credit card and buying AirPods Pro 3, but there’s a bit of a catch and series of hoops you must jump through.
To get the full $250 cash back, you must buy the AirPods Pro and then make 10+ purchases a month for the next year to which will be rewarded by $25 increments, effectively making the AirPods Pro free over the year.
“For a limited time, earn back the cost of AirPods Pro 3, up to $250 total Bonus Daily Cash. Get a new Apple Card and buy AirPods Pro 3 at Apple by June 15. Starting July 1, each month you make 10+ purchases you’ll earn $25 Bonus Daily Cash, through April 30, 2027.*”
The offer is now live and you can get more details at card.apple.com here if you’re interested.
There’s a lot of fine print, so you’ll want to review all of that carefully, before signing up for the Apple Card (or any credit card for that matter). Given how catastrophic high interest debt can be, this offer should really only be considered by individuals who can responsibly manage credit card usage, ideally by paying off the card balance in full every month to avoid high interest payments.
Basically this means if you do not yet have an Apple Card, and you’re responsible at managing credit and don’t mind making many purchases with the card every month for a year (which is fairly easy to accomplish if you use it as your primary card), you will be able to sign up for the Apple Card and receive a free set of AirPods Pro 3, but again, as long as you meet all the required terms and conditions of the card and promo.
Apple Card offers 1% cash back on standard purchases with the physical card, and between 2% and 3% cash back on purchases made with Apple Pay. Those who have an Apple Card can also open an Apple Savings Account which offers a reasonably high yield of 3.5%, which the cash back can be deposited directly into.
Apple rarely offers promotions, discounts, or freebies, so this is somewhat unusual.
If you already have an Apple Card, as many iPhone users do, this deal will not be available to you, but anyone can grab AirPods Pro 3 at a discount from Amazon.
