Apple Card still tied to old Apple ID

Hello,


I've got an ongoing issue that I hope I can find help with here. When I originally setup my iPhone and registered for an Apple Card, my Apple ID was "username@domain.com" (keeping the actual account information anonymous for this post, of course). Sometime between then and now, about a year, I wanted to break ties with that email address and move everything into Apple's ecosystem, so I changed my Apple ID to "username@icloud.com". I made that new iCloud address the primary and eventually removed the original entirely. I've had no problems signing in with the now primary @icloud.com address, can register new devices, send/receive email, etc. From my iPhone, if I go to Settings > Wallet & Apple Pay, I see the "username@icloud.com" address under Transaction Defaults. It all seems like everything is in order.


However, the original Apple ID email address, "username@domain.com", is stuck associated with my Apple Card. Any notifications concerning the Apple Card (scheduled payments, statements, payments received) all go to the original @domain.com account email address. In fact, if I look at the new Apple Savings Account I just setup and go to Wallet > Savings Account > ... > Account Details > Account Information > I see, "username@domain.com" "This email address is associated with your Apple ID." and under it, my mailing address.


I think I've spoken to about 6 different layers of support from Apple and Goldman Sachs, everyone being eager to help, but I cannot seem to find anyone that's able to assist with getting this issue corrected. If there's anyone here that can point me in the right direction, I would be greatly appreciate it.

The confusion on this issue is the misunderstanding of the User Name and Password aspect of your Apple ID/iCloud account.


If you talk to Apple Card support at Goldman Sachs they’ll tell you it can’t be changed and from their perspective it can’t be changed. All this means in an overall sense is Apple Support at Goldman Sachs can’t change your Username. GS employees do not have access to changing your user name or password.


Apple Support and account owner can change username.


You do not want to create a second Apple ID/iCloud account.


You want to just change the Username to the email you want to use.


This Apple support article explains the steps required to change the email you use for your Apple ID/iCloud account.


Change your Apple ID - Apple Support


It usually takes 48 to 72 hours before the Apple systems and Goldman Sachs servers/systems to update and sync.


Here’s how you confirm the change. Update your username/email change by calling Goldman Sachs Apple Card support in 3 or 4 days after you complete the process.


Call Goldman Sachs Bank: (877) 255-5923

Have you tried adding the old email as a iCloud alias?

https://appletoolbox.com/how-and-why-you-should-start-using-aliases-on-your-icloud-email-account/


I know you don’t want to be associated with that email, but this way you can still receive your Apple Card emails without having to sign into the old email. Also you can pick which email address to send emails from. You don’t have to send emails from the old address.


Im not sure so don’t quote me on this…. I think, if you add the old address as an alias(as stated above), your “reachable at” setting will also update to display the old and new address. (You know, how people find you and send you imessages etc.) Find this on your iPhone settings> Apple ID > name, phone #, email> reachable at.


🤔my thought process is… if the old email address you just entered as a alias is found with the new Apple ID under “reachable at”, shouldn’t your Apple Card associated with said old email address appear in your new Apple ID wallet?


🤷‍♀️that’s all I got. Let me know if this works.
