Apple Card 6% Daily Cash Listings for Apple Purchases Were in Error, but Apple is Honoring Them

Yesterday, a number of Apple Card users were seeing mentions of 6% Daily Cash showing up next to some recent Apple purchases, leading to some confusion about whether Apple was launching a special promotion to double the usual 3% cashback program.

Not all purchases were showing up with the 6% bonus, as some users were seeing only the standard 3% and ‌Apple Card‌ support representatives were indicating that the 6% mentions were in error.

Apple has confirmed that this was indeed an error, but the company is going to honor the offer for users who did manage to make a purchase and see the 6% listing, as the company is emailing affected customers to let them know they will be receiving the 3% standard Daily Cash for their purchases as well as a one-time credit for an additional 3% Daily Cash.

Important message regarding your account.

You may have noticed that a recent Apple purchase was eligible for 6% Daily Cash instead of the standard 3% Daily Cash.

This was an error due to a system issue; however, in addition to the 3% Daily Cash that you already received for this purchase, we will be providing you with a one-time credit for an additional 3% Daily Cash back - totaling 6% Daily Cash for that purchase.

You'll see the one-time credit appear as a Balance Adjustment in the Wallet app. This will also appear on your October monthly statement.

Apple emphasizes that this is a one-time credit and any future purchases at Apple will only qualify for the standard 3% Daily Cash.

Meh. They should just give everyone who has already ordered the six percent.
They're a for-profit company, not an ATM. Honoring those who got lucky with the error is perfectly fine.

Airlines usually cancel tickets for customers who snag fares posted in error. Props to Apple for honoring those who got the erroneous deal.

called and chatted with them 7 times since yesterday to complain didn't help... they refused to retroactively apply the 6% instead of the 3%(for the MBP order yesterday)... so I ended up cancelling the order about an hour ago. :(
You showed ‘em.
