**San Francisco, CA** – Apple Pay users rejoice! iOS 18 introduces a game-changing feature: the ability to spend credit card rewards directly through Apple Pay. This means you can now use those points you diligently accumulated to purchase online goods, including that “apology gift” for your significant other after your secret PS5 splurge.
While the concept is simple, there are a few things users should be aware of. Firstly, rewards, be it miles, cashback, or points, will be converted to a dollar amount by your card issuer. Secondly, while you’ll initially be charged the full purchase amount, your issuer will credit your statement with the value of the redeemed rewards.
To activate this feature, you might need to opt-in with your card issuer. Once set, using your rewards is a breeze. Simply look for the “Rewards” option while making a purchase through Apple Pay. You can track your rewards balance and redemption history within the Wallet app.
It’s important to remember that your rewards are subject to your card issuer’s terms and conditions. If you encounter any issues, reach out to your issuer directly.
This new feature offers consumers a seamless and convenient way to use their credit card rewards, adding another layer of functionality to Apple Pay. With the convenience and flexibility of this update, redeeming rewards for everyday purchases just got easier.
