It’s basically the same as all other credit cards already available.

But Apple invented it first of course

Amazon UK already have a card via NewDay.

2 in-fact - a "Credit Builder" Classic card and a "Platinum" card where you earn points redeemable for Amazon vouchers.

No UK issued mastercard would be able to offer 2% cashback.

I think the article might be talking about Amazon becoming a licensed credit supplier in their own right rather than having to use newday

This is exactly how Apple have made their billions... It's not even a particularly good card in the US market (you know, the only place you can actually get this card), yet people are so obsessed with Apple that they're talking about it here... A place it will NEVER, EVER be launched (in a vaguely similar way anyway).

I don't know why you would think that Apple won't launch something similar over here. You do realise that their partner on the card is Goldman Sachs right? They first started doing retail stuff in the US in late 2016 and in the UK in 2018 (Marcus savings accounts). It would make logical sense for GS to scale the card to the UK at some stage.
