I have two minor complaints:
•having the Apple Card linked to my Apple Pay as the primary of three cards means getting a 'BZZZZzzzzt!' at Costco because I forgot they don't take MasterCard. Not a big deal as I just swipe my Watch to get a different card
•the only way (so it seems) to pay the Card is to link your bank account to the card. They apparently don't suck the money out of your account as to other retailers one might 'subscribe' to. Instead the Card app sends the money at one's command or schedule.
Somebody is trying to send a payment to a physical address they got from G-S, or at least they say they did. I'm waiting a couple more days to see if they were successful in setting up their banks bill pay to mail a payment to the Card.
If they are, then I'll do likewise with a day or two to spare. If not, I'll cave and link my bank account.
Walgreen's is now offering 3% back with Apple Pay. Still not a moneymaker for you guys who get 5% back, but it's something, and I think we'll see other vendors offer that 1% extra as time goes on.
I'd be happier just to see more merchants/retailers accepting Apple Pay.
