How stupid do they have to be to mess that up? Apple consumers are some of the highest and most consistent purchasers on the planet. They’re willing to spend money. How could they lose that much?
I have a feeling Goldman isn’t the only one feeling the hurt. Really has no issue on who issues or what the card is but can the people has a whole pay any. And as we are seeing the answer is no. High rates on goods means debt is the last to be paid.
Did I stutter? How does that happen when the card was offered to Apple buyers? These people have the money. Unless they lowered the initial entry criteria, this shouldn’t have been that difficult.
You just said they are willing to spend money. That doesn't make them able to pay it back. Apple consumers are not wealthy... Hell there's a ton of living in an efficiency apartment, paycheck to paycheck folks that buy every new iphone on release.
Getting approved for a credit card has never been that hard. You just need to be reasonably on top of your debt payments for a while, not over leveraged to a wild degree and they'll give you a new one.
