Paying Apple Card early

I’m not sure why but the Apple Card won’t let you pay off your monthly balance early. I’m not speaking of monthly installments. I’m also not referring to pending charges. The dial that lets you “pay more” wont let you pay your entire balance when you want. I messaged Apple and Goldman to some extent with no answer. It feels like by not allowing you to pay off your card when you want the probability of it accruing extra interest is likely. I’m sure there is a small window before your payment is due where you can pay it off, but this feels dishonest. I don’t have this issue with any of my other cards.

I have tried to today, unsuccessfully. I have also messaged Apple support whom transfered me to Goldman Sachs. They simply restated policies that didn’t have anything to do with making my payment today. I truly hope I missed something but as of today I have a balance. I can not pay that balance because the wallet app says I have nothing to pay. Untrue. Goldman offered to make an exception and let me pay off the balance. I told them I was more concerned with future payments and avoiding unnecessary interest. They seemed to give me the “run around”.

Without knowing what you're seeing, it's hard to provide more advice.

However, if you have a payment due it will be specified in your Wallet. As in the example below, there is no balance due but a current balance exists on the card.

In your daily transactions, it doesn’t show as pending? I can pay any charge I want that isn’t pending. Try using the calculator to pay a cleared/finalized charge in the Apple Card in your Wallet App on your iPhone.

The probability of paying the charges is very slim. Apple Card accounts all close at 11:59 PM on the last day of the month. The entire next month is your Grace Period. Any charge you can’t pay in February will not be due until 11:59 PM on March 31. There’s nothing dishonest as I can see. The information is clearly presented in the Apple Card Customer Agreement that you signed and was delivered to you when you accepted the offer for your account. Here is a link to a copy for your convenience.
