Apple is offering new Apple Card holders a chance to get AirPods Pro 3 essentially for free, but there's a significant catch. Customers who open a new Apple Card account and purchase the $249 earbuds directly from Apple by June 15 will qualify for monthly Bonus Daily Cash rebates starting July 1.

The promotion runs through April 30, 2027, returning $25 per month up to $250 total. However, cardholders must make at least ten purchases on the card each month to unlock the rebate—each transaction needs to be at least a penny, and notably, the AirPods Pro 3 purchase itself doesn't count toward that threshold.

The deal is strictly limited to new Apple Card applicants—existing cardholders and those with pending applications aren't eligible. Purchases must be made directly from Apple either online or in-store, excluding refurbished units, third-party retailers, international transactions, and business bulk orders. The entire purchase can't be covered by Apple Gift Card or Apple Account balance either.
