Apple Card promo to offer free AirPods Pro 3

Starting next week, customers who sign up for an Apple Card at Apple stores in the United States will receive $249 cash back on the purchase of AirPods Pro 3, according to BloombergIt’s Mark Gurman. The promotion has not yet been officially announced by Apple, so exact terms and conditions are not available at this time.

The AirPods Pro 3 are priced at $249 in the US, so customers who sign up for an Apple Card will effectively receive free AirPods Pro through this promotion.

Apple Card cash back is known as Daily Cash, so customers will receive the $249 cash back the same day they sign up for the card.

As a reminder, the Apple Card was launched in 2019 and remains available in the United States only. The credit card can be managed in the iPhone’s Wallet app, with key benefits including color-coded spending summaries, no fees, and daily cash back paid out daily. Apple Card holders can also open a high-yield savings account.

Currently, the Apple Card is issued by Goldman Sachs, but Apple previously announced that Chase would take over the credit card by early 2028.
