The Apple Card now includes Disaster Relief as a perk.
A customer who lives in Houston and was impacted by flooding from tropical storm Imelda received the following email:
“We understand that you have been affected by a natural disaster. We’d like to offer our support and assistance through our Disaster Relief Program.”
The program offers the following provisions:
- No interest for two months, starting with the month the user enrolls. After two months, standard purchase APR applies.
- Payment due in the enrollmnet month can be skipped
- Those whose accounts are in good standing remain current while enrolled.
- Those whose accounts are past due, your account do not go further delinquent while enrolled. However they will remain past due until all due payments are made. Ability to make new purchases may continue to be restricted too.
Definitely not a bad thing, especially if your life has been turned upside down by something.
