Where and How to Get the Most Apple Card Cash Back
Reading Time: 3 minutes Most credit cards offer cash back. Apple Card is one of them. Cash back is a credit card reward designed to motivate you to spend even more with your card. As the name implies, cash back rewards are real cash. You will get real dollars. Some other cards may offer points or miles as rewards. I find these points a little bit confusing. Cash back is more straightforward and easier to understand. Cash Rewards are earned on a percentage basis. Depending on where and how you use your Apple Card, you’ll earn a cash back of 1% to 3% of the amount of each transaction. These may seem small but they can add up quickly. In this article, I list popular merchants and how much Apple Cash back you can get if you use your card there.
