As expected, Apple has officially kicked off its promotion for new Apple Card users. If you sign up for a new Apple Card, you can basically get a pair of AirPods Pro 3<\/a> for free (basically). Here\u2019s how it works.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Here\u2019s how it works:<\/p>\n You will, of course, still have to cover any applicable taxes associated with your purchase. Still, it\u2019s essentially a free pair of AirPods Pro in exchange for opening an Apple Card account, but spread over 12 months. Unfortunately, if you already have an Apple Card, there\u2019s no way to take advantage of this deal.<\/p>\n This is by far the most lucrative sign-up bonus ever offered by Apple Card. The bonus is even more enticing because Apple Card doesn\u2019t have an annual fee. Many cards that offer juicy sign-up bonuses like this also charge an annual fee, which can offset the value of the bonus.<\/p>\n The excitement is dampened slightly by the awkward redemption method. You\u2019ll have to make 10+ purchases each month to get that $25 Bonus Daily Cash credit. It\u2019s not as straightforward as buying AirPods Pro 3 and instantly getting $250 back. You can, however, use Apple Card Monthly Installments to spread that cost out over six months and still claim the bonus cash over a year. <\/p>\n Here\u2019s some of the fine print from Apple: <\/p>\n The cost of AirPods Pro 3, for purposes of this offer, does not include applicable taxes, fees, or other charges. Offer may be modified at any time and is not available to applicants who have had this card or who have another pending or approved application for the card. New Apple Card account owners who\u00a0(1) first open a new Apple Card account and (2) then use it to buy AirPods Pro 3 directly from Apple, May 18, 2026, through June 15, 2026 (\u201cQualifying Period\u201d), will qualify to earn up to $250 total Bonus Daily Cash after meeting the following spend requirements:\u00a0beginning July 1, 2026, through April 30, 2027 (\u201cOffer Period\u201d), earn $25 Bonus Daily Cash each month when you use your new Apple Card to make a minimum of ten (10) purchases of any amount ($0.01 or higher) that post to your account each month (\u201cQualifying Purchases\u201d). <\/p>\n AirPods Pro 3 purchases must be made directly from Apple (online or in an Apple Store) using the new Apple Card. Refurbished products, other AirPods models, purchases from third\u2011party retailers, international purchases, and purchases for business purposes such as company bulk orders are excluded. <\/p>\n All AirPods Pro 3 payment options from Apple using Apple Card are eligible for this offer including pay in full or financing via Apple Card Monthly Installments, and regardless of whether a trade-in value was applied to reduce the purchase cost. The qualifying AirPods Pro 3 purchase cannot be made entirely with an Apple Gift Card or Apple Account balance. The AirPods Pro 3 purchase does not count toward the ten (10) Qualifying Purchases required in any month during Offer Period. Returning the qualifying AirPods Pro 3 purchase may result in forfeiture of eligibility for this offer<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n You can choose to have your Apple Card\u2019s Daily Cash deposited directly into your Apple Cash account or to your Apple Card Savings Account. You can then transfer it directly to your bank if you\u2019d like.<\/p>\n Apple released AirPods Pro 3 last year, featuring a slightly different in-ear design, 2x better Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), improved audio quality, and more. They also offer a built-in heart rate monitor for the first time.
