That Apple Card free AirPods Pro 3 promo is now live but it's worse than expected

So, you need to be a new customer not having had an Apple Card before, and apply for one by June 15. With your new Apple Card, you then buy a pair ofAirPods Pro 3directly from Apple until June 15. Then, from July 1, 2026 and until April 30, 2027 you can earn $25 cashback each month for a total of ten months. After those ten months the $250 you spent on the AirPods Pro 3 will be complete.

To get the $25 monthly cashback you need to make at least ten transactions with your Apple Card each month. The good news is that any amount qualifies - 1 cent or more.
