How do I change the email for Apple Card statements without canceling the card?

Alright so something happened. I received a scheduled payment notification and it now shows my current email. I followed what someone on another forum suggested which was to change the email in your settings and then switch back to the desired email as your primary. After you do that, completely log out of the account and then sign back in. I tested this by canceling my scheduled Apple Card payment and rescheduling a payment. Lo and behold, I got the email to my desired Primary email and it reflects it on the email and my old email is no longer listed! We’ll see if I get statement emails sent to this next month but it seems like I will. What’s crazy is that no one from Goldman Sachs nor Apple especially the rude Apple “senior” suggested this! They were all set to have me cancel my card and reapply or as the “senior” suggested, create a Gmail and have all correspondence go through there. I thought I couldn’t change it because it was an iCloud email HUH?

It’s absurd that this whole thing is even an issue. What’s more absurd is the lack of knowledge everyone I spoke to had on how to resolve this other than “follow this article. Oh that didn’t work? Cancel your card.” To be clear, everyone was super nice and apologetic when it wasn’t working EXCEPT that Apple “senior.” I’ll post again if this issue persists but so far it seems to have fixed itself.

Actually it was necessary because that’s what made it seem to work. They’ve directed me to that page where it “makes it easier” to change your email but I did all that and even after a few months it didn’t work. Just baffles me that Goldman and Apple narrowed it down to canceling my card.

Another user on apply community had a similar issue in 2021. His email was deactivated and they recommended the same thing when changing it. The only reason why it worked for him was because Goldman said their emails were bouncing back and once he changed it in his settings it was fine. Sounds like he still had his old email listed in his settings.

I am able to change my email. My issue was the emails like my statements or any other Apple Card emails were still being sent to my old email and not my new one. So even when my old email was deleted everywhere, I was still receiving them there. It wasn’t until I did the above that finally made it work once I got the scheduled payment email and it showed my current one. But it didn’t work until AFTER I logged out and logged back then.
