I do not recommend anyone get this card! After being on the phone with reps for over half an hr and being transferred to multiple departments I received an answer that it takes 7-10 days to reflect a payment into your account. The payment was immediately deducted from my account but would take 7-10 days to reflect on my Apple Card balance. Worse credit card and card service I have ever experienced. The only way for a payment to immediately reflect on your available balance is to put money on your Apple Cash then pay off your Apple Card with the funds from your Apple Cash. The most ridiculous thing I have ever experienced with a credit card; I already closed the account after a month, not dealing with that!

I am one of the individuals who is seeing excessive delays in payments being applied to their Apple Card available balance. I find this to be incredibly disrespectful to Apple’s and Goldman Sach’s customers.


I checked today and a payment I made 14 days ago hasn’t been applied to my available balance. That is simply unacceptable.


I can imagine a scenario where someone needs their available balance for an emergency and it isn’t available due to the delays in crediting their account. And, the money behind the payment is no longer available either.


We should be able to pay from our bank and have balances adjusted in a timely manner without routing the payment through Apple Cash.


Based on the time it's taking for payments to clear I likely can’t close the account for another 14 days as I wait for the balance to reach zero.


Anyone who puts up with this is being taken advantage of by big business. No one should have their hard earned money tied up for 10-14 days while a payment is applied. Apple Card is not a necessity. Get a card from a bank that credits your card in a timely manner.
