Apple has announced a new promotion for Apple Card holders, offering an increased Daily Cash back rate on purchases made with Nike. From June 15 to July 15, 2026, Apple Card users can earn 6% Daily Cash back when using Apple Pay for transactions at Nike retail stores, on Nike’s website, or through Nike’s mobile applications.
Under normal circumstances, Apple Card provides 3% Daily Cash back on purchases made with select partners, including Nike. This limited-time offer effectively doubles the cash back rate, allowing cardholders to maximize their rewards during the promotional period.
It’s important to note that the 6% Daily Cash back applies to a maximum of $500 in purchases, which translates to a total of $30 in cash back. This offer is available to all Apple Card holders, including co-owners and participants, enabling multiple family members to benefit from the increased rewards.
Apple Card, introduced in 2019, is a credit card designed to integrate seamlessly with Apple Pay and the Wallet app on iOS devices. It offers a straightforward rewards structure, with Daily Cash back rates of 1% for physical card transactions, 2% for Apple Pay purchases, and 3% for purchases made directly with Apple and select partners. The card has no annual fees and provides users with tools to manage their spending and payments directly from their devices.
Apple has a history of collaborating with various retailers to offer enhanced Daily Cash back rates. For instance, in November 2025, Apple Card users were offered 5% Daily Cash back on purchases made at Ace Hardware, up from the standard 3%. Similarly, in May 2025, a promotion provided 6% Daily Cash back on Nike purchases, indicating a pattern of periodic incentives aimed at encouraging the use of Apple Pay and Apple Card with partner merchants.
These promotions not only benefit consumers by offering increased rewards but also serve to strengthen the partnerships between Apple and major retailers like Nike. By providing higher cash back rates, Apple incentivizes the use of its payment ecosystem, while retailers potentially see increased sales from Apple Card users. Consumers should take advantage of these limited-time offers to maximize their rewards, keeping in mind the spending caps and promotional periods.
