Apple Offers Disaster Relief Program for Apple Card Holders
The Apple Card comes with a Disaster Relief Program, according to a MacRumors reader who lives in Houston and recently experienced some flooding from tropical storm Imelda.
Apple sent MacRumors reader Frequeniquity an email suggesting that he apply for the program after Apple detected that he "may have been affected by a natural disaster."
Emails sent out by Apple, which were also received by another MacRumors reader, offer the following benefits:
According to the email sent out to Apple Card users, those interested in applying for the Disaster Relief Program should contact an Apple Card Specialist after receiving an email.
Apple appears to be sending out these emails to customers who have addresses registered in areas where a natural disaster has occurred, and presumably this will be a benefit offered to all Apple Card users who are experiencing issues like floods, fires, earthquakes, and other issues.

Emails sent out by Apple, which were also received by another MacRumors reader, offer the following benefits:
- No interest for two months, starting with the month you enroll. After two months, your standard purchase APR will apply.
- You can skip the payment due in the month you enroll.
- If your account is in good standing, you will remain current while enrolled.
- If your account is past due, your account will not go further delinquent while enrolled. However, your account will remain paste due until you make all of your past due payments and your ability to make new purchases may continue to be restricted.

I wonder if it applies when your power utility deliberately cuts electrical service prophylactically. ?

This isn't anything special, honestly. All credit card companies, and banks, have some variation on this program. Typically the criteria is FEMA-declared disaster zone.
Some of it is required or sponsored by the government, e.g. mortgage deferrals through HUD. So it isn't merely a generous gesture.

Isn’t this almost like preying on those in a bad situation?
“Hey, load up our credit card with purchases because your life was just ruined. We won’t charge interest for the first two months!”
It allows responsible adults, the majority of credit card holders, to buy things to begin to recover their lives before the insurance check comes in. Otherwise, you're stuck for 2 months without clothes or other daily necessities. And some insurance, particularly replacement cost coverage, won't pay until after you buy the replacement. This is responsible use of credit.

sorry, but this feels slimy and just a tad predatory.
It only took 17 posts for someone to ? on Apple.
"Why isn't it 6 months no interest??" "Why do they have to restrict my card???"
Sometimes Apple can't catch a break

As someone else pointed out, this is not limited to Apple, but an industry standard. Just seems weird.

Like any credit card, pay off balances in full and don’t charge more than you can afford financially. It may be an Apple card but seeing Goldman Sachs hawking in the background I don’t find comforting.

The difference that I can think of and it is a big one is this... When you are in a disaster area and you lose your home you are quite possibly never going to pay the mortgage again anyway. Apple offering this deal pays for a motel, or whatever you need in case you aren't moving back home

Apple trying to get free advertising for the fact that it meets the minimum industry standards
Why is this being done by email, isn't the app supposed to be a secure and convenient way to manage your account? Didn't they rethink everything about credit cards after all?
And I'm sure you and some others would complain about email not being a contact option if Apple chose to do everything through the app.

It was from Apple.
I get plenty of emails purporting to be from Apple explaining that there has been suspicious activity on my iCloud account and asking me to sign in and confirm my identity, none of which are real.
I get that MR isn’t a newspaper, but they could still reach out to the company for confirmation and comment...
