Did anyone else have an Apple card in the late 90's? It was probably put out by Citibank and morphed into my current card when the Apple portion went away. It gave 5% on purchases towards Apple products, similar to some other rewards cards out there like the GM card that gave 5% towards a GM car. I didn't spend much then, but over a year or two it's rewards paid for a StyleWriter 2400 printer. I don't know how much Apple input there was on it. But the branding was there, on the card and on the correspondences. I still have a letter from it in one of my boxes of old computer stuff. The current one is vastly different, with an emphasis on security and ApplePay. But like mentioning the current dividend, it bugs me when they say the current iteration is the first time ever.

Chinacat,
There was some conjecture over at Macrumors.com that the $0.49 was so that could test the payment /subcription backend.

Reuters says Apple CEO warns Trump about China tariffs, Samsung competition. Trump said Cook “made a good case” that tariffs could hurt Apple given that Samsung’s products would not be subject to those same tariffs. Tariffs on an additional $300 billion worth of Chinese goods, including consumer electronics, are scheduled to go into effect in two stages on Sept. 1 and Dec. 15. "I thought he made a very compelling argument, so I’m thinking about it,” Trump said. Sponge?
