[Expired] Paceline Credit Card: Apple Watch (Up To $429 Credit) Sign Up Bonus + $120 Swagbucks

Card is now closing, credits won’t be honored.

Update 6/24/22: The card is now showing on Swagbucks with 12,000 ($120) bonus after your first purchase by signing up via a special link they’ll send you. I assume this will also stack with the Apple Watch offer. So it’s now $120 Swagbucks – $60 annual fee = $60 net after first purchase, and then you get the Apple Watch and drugstore/grocery 5% earn rate if you can meet the exercise requirements. (ht Vaughn)

Update 3/8/22: Paceline has added 5% on groceries & drugstores, the annual fee has been reduced to $60 from $120. I can’t see these increased categories lasting. In addition the watch credit is now over 12 months instead of 24 months and there is no monthly spend requirement.

Our Verdict

This card is definitely worth considering now that the Apple Watch credit is over 12 months and the annual fee has been reduced. If you can take advantage of the 5% categories as well then I can see this worth doing. Not everybody will hit the exercise requirements though so that it something to keep in mind. We will add this to our list of the best credit card bonuses. Please do not share referrals in the comments.
