Apple Gives Out Free AirPods 3 Pro: What are the Terms?
Apple is launching a campaign offering Daily Cash refunds equal to the price of AirPods Pro 3 to new customers who apply for an Apple Card in the USA.
Apple is preparing a new campaign for Apple Card users. New customers who apply for an Apple Card at Apple Stores in the US will receive a Daily Cash refund worth $249 when they purchase AirPods Pro 3.
The US sales price of AirPods Pro 3 is $249, effectively turning this campaign into a hospitality program. The campaign, which has not yet been officially announced, covers users who will apply for Apple Card for the first time.
Details and operation of the campaign
Within the scope of the new campaign, users must go to Apple Stores in the USA, apply for an Apple Card and then purchase AirPods Pro 3. Following this process, the amount of $ 249 is refunded to the user through Daily Cash, Apple Card’s cash refund system.
It is not yet clear whether the campaign will be valid in online stores. Available information only points to in-store applications, and Apple has not yet shared details such as application dates and availability.
The campaign is expected to start in US retail stores as early as next week. Apple Card has been available only in the USA since 2019 and does not charge an annual card price.
New era in Apple Card
Apple Card users can manage their expenses through the Wallet application on iPhone. There is a 2% to 3% cashback opportunity for purchases made with Apple Pay and 1% cashback when using a physical card.
Users can transfer their Daily Cash balance to their Apple Cash card and use it for different purchases. In addition, Apple Card holders have the right to open a high-yield savings account through the system.
This campaign coincides with the big change process on the Apple Card side. In January 2026, Apple announced that Chase would be the new provider of the card and began a transition process that will last approximately 24 months.
Currently, Mastercard continues to exist as the payment network on the card provided by Goldman Sachs. Apple states that existing users will continue to use their cards as normal during the transition process.
Do you think such campaigns will increase the usage rate of Apple Card?
