First Physical Apple Cards Expiring Soon, Apple Shipping Out Replacements

[Rogifan]

I got this email. I’ve never used my physical card. It’s sitting in a safe looking brand new.

Considering its made of Titanium and weighs 15 grams, it has value. Removing the front and back cover and the chip, I bet that still leaves 12-13 grams of titanium.

You could melt it and sell it 😂

Melting down titanium in your kitchen, good luck with that.

I've never used my physical card either. It would be nice to have the option of not receiving a new one and just using my phone to pay.

I totally forgot I had this card until I saw this article on MR. doh!

Is the new card FineWoven?

I would obviously do it in a trailer Breaking Bad style. 🤠

Please don't make the mistake I made with an expired Amazon Prime Visa, and put it in the credit card slot of a shredder. It doesn't do too well with metal

 

[Sippincider]

I wonder what the new card will look like

Unconfirmed rumors of thinner, with extra-rounded corners and different colors.
Optional FineWoven holder.(*)

(*Seriously I don't know, probably will look the same.)

It seems like it's kind of a waste if GS is walking away from Apple Card. I guess we don't know who/if anyone is going to pick this program up after GS, but...

One benefit I really like is the Mastercard ID Theft Protection. I set that up and periodically get alerts if any of my info shows up on a compromised site, or if a credit activity has taken place in my name. For instance, I did something (can't remember what, maybe a new account somewhere) that triggered a credit check, and sure enough the Mastercard thing included that in their summary email that month. If it had been unauthorized, that would have given me a heads up.

I have the Apple Card. How would I go about setting that up?

Go here

...then scroll all the way down to the See all Mastercard benefits for Apple Card customers link at the bottom. It's the second item on that page.

I wonder what the new card will look like and be made out of.

The leftover stock of Biodegradable FineWoven?

Mine shows physical card expires in August. I guess I will be notified closer to that date. I’d like to keep mine and frame it rather than sending back to Apple.

Or just frame the new one, and save some money at the same time..

 

[jimmirehman]

so are the new ones v.2.0 Black Titanium?

 

[Andres Cantu]

Apple Card Pro in Space Black when???

Apple Card Pro in Space Black when???

It will be the most Pro card they've ever created. We're going to love it.

I hope the replacements cards don't have the magnetic stripe on them. I'm not recycling my old one. It's a cool collectors item.

I got mine during the first year, has no markings on the card either. However, if you open Wallet, it will tell you:

Did you get an email yet?

When does yours expire?

 

[DIRSGT]

The image you show with the July 2024 is the Virtual Card expiration date. You need to click “Additional Card Numbers” to see the “Titanium Card” expiration date. To me it’s weird new ones are coming out as mine expires more 12 years from 2024.

Weird... mine is good until 2027.
First transaction Aug 2019.
Never had a replacement card.

Ahhh... expires July 2024.

 

[frenchcamp49er]

Ahhh... expires July 2024.

Did you get an email? Mine also shows July and I haven’t received it.

I think it's the only card in my wallet that does not support contactless payment... It's also my dirtiest card. But right, it's very innovative and looks cool when it's new.

Mine just sits in a drawer, I just use it for Apple Pay. I have cards with a better rebate for physical transactions.
