In response to the continued coronavirus outbreak, Apple and Goldman Sachs are allowing customers to skip their Apple Card March payment without incurring interest charges. Apple Card holders should receive an email announcing this “Customer Assistance Program.”

As first shared on Reddit, and noticed first by MacRumors, Apple Card customers can skip their March payment without incurring interest charges through the Customer Assistance Program. The email explains:

We understand that the rapidly-evolving COVID-19 situation poses unique challenges for everyone and some customers may have difficulty making their monthly payments. Apple Card is committed to helping you lead a healthier financial life.

The key here appears to be that you have to contact Apple Card support in order to join the Customer Assistance Program. That seemingly means that if you simply skip your March payment without contacting support, you’ll still be charged interest as usual.

Apple Card holders should all receive this email soon, but if you haven’t already, you can find out how to contact Apple Card Support and enroll in the Customer Assistance Program here.
