Horrendous customer service. No electronic banking service, so paying off the loan requires a mail in check, so they they can suck you for another 7-10 business days of interest. My loan payoff check through escrow was cashed by them and 3 weeks later they were still charging interest and dinged my checking account for another payment. Then when you present the evidence, you can’t even email them a copy of the cashed check to add to your complaint file. Are you freaking kidding me?!?!

Footnote for the reviewing audience:
I will begin by saying, I mention Apple in this review quite a bit , as it was a collective effort in inconsistency and ineptitude of both companies.
I purchased from Apple, A Mac, and only 2 months ago. Up until the point of applying for and receiving the Apple cc, furnished by Goldman Sachs, has been a very negative experience and a slap in the face as a loyal customer of Apple. This was a wake up call as to how little regard most of the a GS & Apple support specialists, have for their customers, Particularly it’s financial partner, Goldman Sachs, and their Customer service, with special emphasis on the upper levels of Financial Assistance, Brian, whom absolutely lacks even the most general skill set in terms of an appropriate treatment of his customers. No attempt to convey even the slightest bit of concern, that is to say, he had very little to none. I was taken back by his indifferent and rude disposition and more surprised by his inability to understand even the basics in terms of the ability to show a basic sense of courtesy, and even more shocking given his at his level position in the company. Unbelievable. Then, as if his insufferable position wasn’t bad enough, he ended the call by hanging up on me. I just sat back and thought one word to myself:, WOW. It is really sad.
These reviews and feedback and others like it will be ignored at their detriment. Because eventually, all of us will need Customer Support, at some point, and if you do, and with either of these two companies, you will most likely will be disappointed. I only needed a little respect, but no, it was out of Brian’s reach to provide it. This, after I posed one simple question to the Apple Card & GS specialists who, because they were short considerably on account knowledge, eventually became frustrated and took those shortcomings out on me in their treatment of me. Apparently this ineptitude did not limit itself at the customer care level, but runs through to the sales department as well. My Apple Card was showing a new open balance on the cc account balance of $3557 and this inaccurate balance was reported to the CREDIT BUREAUS! This is outrageous, I never had a spending balance in that sum. I monitor my credit scores closely and when I received a drop in score of 40 - 50 points, all due to the sales dept at Apples inability to balance a customers account without negatively, adversely, subjecting, ones account to the credit bureaus, during their posting sessions. Unauthorized, postings to my account, credits and debits over a 3 week period that left my account with a hanging balance of nearly $3600. My accounts accurate total was only $141.50, 1st of 12 payments over 1 year totaling only $1699. Are they aware of what that sudden, reporting in that sum does to a credit score? I maintain a 1 % of spending total monthly, of my 7-8 credit cards, and this large sum appears negatively on my credit score. Their breach of services which very negatively reflected against my account, sent my Fico score descending 40 points or so! They have a big problem here, as I am in the middle of scouting a place to live. My score went from 732 to 691 that’s from very good to fair. They will correct this in a court or another way, BUT I NEED TO BE MADE WHOLE. These unwarranted numerous postings to my account have adversely effected me. Ultimately, this terrible oversight has destroyed what took me nearly 10 years to build, in terms of a good credit score.
After some research, the FCRA ( The fair credit reporting act ) states, I can bring claims on them for a false reporting that caused damages to my credit score, effecting my ability to gain a better interest rate and nicer place to live. This is a serious matter, Sections: 604 (A)(3) 607 611 and 616 of the FCRA, some of the violations they breached. I was hoping not to go down this route but as all of my efforts to settle this issue were exhausted, seems I have no other choice. This negative experience made all the more stressful and worse by an ongoing string of inconsistent statements and ultimately their inability to effectively assist by a number of customer account specialists. Where ultimately, no one, including supervisors, managers and even Goldman Sachs financial executive level personnel, were unsuccessful to resolve my account issues. The only benefit about the card, is literally, it’s medal materials it’s made of, otherwise, it’s a terrible experience.
This is my honest experience. Before this experience, I was a loyal customer of Apple products but their customer service specialists and that of Goldman Sachs customer services, have left a sour taste behind. I believe this will hurt the Apple brand, and their reputation.

Had my request submitted and approved…
Had my request submitted and approved within 2 days - I had been waiting for 2-1/2 weeks from Sofi - after submitting 2 years of 1099's and tax forms to Sofi. Marcus came through for me - that is why I am recommending them.

Excellent customer service
The coil/spring of one of our Heritage Brass door handles snapped. M-Marcus's customer services sent out replacement parts immediately, and the handle is back to normal. Very impressive service.
