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 for free (basically). Here’s how it works.
How to get AirPods Pro for free with Apple Card
Here’s how it works:
- Sign up for a new Apple Card account.
- Purchase a new pair of AirPods Pro 3 directly from Apple by June 15.
- Starting July 1, each month you make 10+ purchases you’ll earn $25 Bonus Daily Cash, through April 30, 2027.
You will, of course, still have to cover any applicable taxes associated with your purchase. Still, it’s 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’s no way to take advantage of this deal.
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’t 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.
The excitement is dampened slightly by the awkward redemption method. You’ll have to make 10+ purchases each month to get that $25 Bonus Daily Cash credit. It’s 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.
Here’s some of the fine print from Apple:
You can choose to have your Apple Card’s 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’d like.
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. You can read my full review for all the details.
