Sounds awfully cartel-like.

Unfortunately I agree with you regarding the lack of incentives Apple has. IIRC, the money for cash back rewards comes out of the interchange fee. How do you get consumers to adopt a card that's opaquely better for businesses and immediately worse for themselves?

If you are looking for a cartel, look no further than experian, transunion et al. Those firms define your credit worthiness and are hacked at will, spilling out all you credit and PII info.

Make the card a novelty, some companies have tried cute colours and shapes. Using your iPhone is also very very novel
