The new iPhone is getting a lot of buzz these days, and since it is still pretty expensive, I thought I’d take a look at some credit cards to see if any were offering initial bonuses that could help consumers afford the phone. I started by looking at the card bearing the name of one of the main cell networks carrying the iPhone: the AT&T Universal Savings Platinum Credit Card. This AT&T credit card--which is issued by Citibank, offered on the MasterCard network, and requires good or excellent credit for approval—unfortunately does not offer an initial rewards bonus. What it does have is a rather interesting rewards structure. Instead of providing a set cash back rate across all purchases with potentially better rewards on certain spending categories, the AT&T Universal Savings Platinum Credit Card offers tiered rewards. Each month, you get 0.5% cash back for purchases up to $250 spent, 1% between $250 and $750, and 1.5% above $750. Considering that the Capital One Cash credit card offers 1.5% on all purchases, regardless of how much you spend, what the AT&T card has to offer in terms of rewards isn’t all that good. Neither card, by the way, has an annual fee. Interestingly, the AT&T Universal Savings Platinum Credit Card does have a pretty attractive balance transfer offer: 0% on transfers for 15 months with a 3% balance transfer fee. While there are at least nine other cards currently on the market offering 0% for at least that long (some as long as 21 months) at least the AT&T card is in the upper echelon. Still, I wouldn’t suggest going into debt to buy the iPhone and then transferring your balance to this card. The balance transfer fee makes this costly and not worth the risk, especially since you might not even get approved for a balance transfer.
