[Update 6/1/20: They continue to extend this offer through May, and now through June. You must, however, file a request to skip the payment; if you simply fail to pay without officially requesting the skip, you’ll be charged. (hat tip 9to5mac.com)]
[Update 4/1/20: They are making the same offer for April as well, and, apparently, one can even request the deferral for a second time, even if you already requested this in March.]
Apple Card sent out an email to users allowing them to enroll in Apple Card’s Customer Assistance Program to skip their upcoming monthly credit card payment. No interest or fees will be accrued when doing so, according to the email. Essentially you can pay this month and next month together when the next month’s statement generates, giving you an extra month leeway.
This is a nice gesture from Apple as there are certainly some non-salaried workers who aren’t getting paid now, as well as business owners who aren’t making any money now. This gives them time to come up with the necessary funds.
You can see what the offer email looks like here and the confirmation email here.
