Apple is offering a limited-time promotion where new Apple Card holders can effectively receive AirPods Pro 3 for free, subject to certain conditions. To qualify, you must sign up for an Apple Card, get approved, and purchase AirPods Pro 3 by June 15. From July 2026 to April 2027, you can earn up to $250 in bonus cash back over 10 months by meeting specific transaction requirements. Each month, you need to make at least 10 purchases of any amount using the Apple Card, excluding the initial AirPods purchase, to receive $25 cash back monthly. AirPods Pro 3 are priced at $249 in the U.S., but are currently available for $199 on Amazon, allowing you to potentially recoup the cost through this promotion. Existing Apple Card users are not eligible. The Apple Card, launched in 2019, is exclusive to the U.S. and can be managed via the Apple Wallet app. It has no annual fee and offers up to 3% cash back on purchases, with varying percentages depending on how the card is used.
