How does Apple Card handle Trade-in on zero balance?

I just purchased a MacBook Air with trade-in using my Apple Card.


If I pay off the balance of the Apple Card before the trade-in amount is applied (The card balance would be at $0.00), what will happen to the card and its balance when the trade-in amount is finally applied?


Would the balance become positive, would the trade-in be applied to Apple Cash instead, something else?


I'm confused. :-0

Usually they give you the discount so there is no funds that are coming back to you they take it off of the price of the MacBook Air. But if that is not what they did and they said they will credit your Apple card which they shouldn't do then it will hold a positive balance which is rare but possible. Usually they give you a gift card for the balance if you are to trade in value. Either way it is possible to have a positive balance.
