Do you have an Apple credit card? It's a major rip-off.fees for our recent Canadian adventure. (Data are from Quicken records)
Since mid-2018 we have used nothing but cards that pay 2% cash rebates on all goods and services purchased. That includes Apple Pay purchases. Apple pays, 2% on Apple Pay purchases, 3% on Apple products and 1% on everything else.
Since we went on this 2% program our rebates have totaled about $7,150. Our car fuel purchases have totaled about $7,300. So basically, the rebates have covered our gasoline bills. We have paid no fees or interest other than $60 in foreign exchange
If you ditch Apple's card and go with Citi or Wells Fargo you could almost double your rebates. Of course, if you are a real fanboy flashing the Apple brand card when you buy stuff may be worth it to your inflated sense of self-worth.

buy within a couple of days. I also get 0% financing for 12 months if I choose it during the ordering process. Of course I do not use the
Apple card for non Apple products.

No, they are very honest in not hiding an everyday purchase rebate is
half that of other available cash-back cards.

higher rebate on Apple purchases.

It's a rip-off in that Apple could offer the same 2% as other cards
on all purchases. Anyone who uses the Apple card on all purchases is
losing out on significant rebate funds.

Well, there are the seasonal specials that Discover runs, although their level of benefit is pretty finite:
< https://www.discover.com/credit-cards/cash-back/it-card.html>
Really? I get 5% back on all Target purchases through their Red Card program. For me an extra 3% on a few items is not worth the hassle of managing another card.
That's just me though.
If you have this Discover card you might also want the one
I have had for years:
