Dwight SilvermanEarly adopters of the Apple Card, including me, have been notified that their titanium physical cards are expiring and a new one is being shipped. The new card comes with a carrier to return the expired one to Apple. Mine had a Fedex label, so I dropped the old car off at a Houston location. But since then tracking shows it “picked up” on 6/18, it hasn’t moved, and now Fedex has opened a case on it. (1/2)
The old card deactivates as soon as you activate the new one, so it’s of no value to anyone (it doesn’t even have numbers on it, just the user’s name). Still, it’s very annoying. I suspect the packaging - it’s about the size of a small greeting card - likely meant it’s slipped behind a counter or something. Any other Apple Card users experience something similar? (2/2)
An update: The card started moving again last night after I filed a case with Fedex. From what I can tell, it was still at the place where I dropped it off, which seems to confirm my theory that its small size meant it fell behind something.
Amazed that the post on Threads has gotten more than 310K views (and drawn some predictably smug “who cares” reply guys).
Chris Johnson@dsilverman I wish they’d let us opt out of it altogether. (I only got it in the first place because it was the new cool thing.) I almost never use a physical credit card these days, and in the rare cases I do I use a different one with better benefits.
@captainslim Yep, same. I’ve used it once, I think.
SteveBob 🌻@dsilverman mine took a long time to start moving (a week at least), but it finally made it.
Penguin@dsilverman Just dropped mine off at FedEx. Yes it’s very thin, & has no value at all to a thief so I don’t get it. But maybe the fact that it doesn’t have a number makes it easy to use at an unsuspecting retailer who tries to collect from an unknown account. So it certainly should have nothing to do with your account.
BA Princeton@dsilverman I had exactly the same experience two years ago. Returned my Apple card after replacement via FedEx and it vanished.
