The new Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR are finally here. The most power Mac ever and the one of the most impressive displays every created are now available to order and you can configure everything to your heart's desire.
The new Mac Pro's base configuration starts at $5999 which, while being a beast of a computer, is still a ton of money that only increases in cost as you upgrade its components. So, if you are planning on making the financial leap and getting the machine, you might be asking yourself how you can make that purchase work for you.
The following credit cards were hand-picked because of their features to make sure you can earn the most rewards and enjoy the most perks when buying your new Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR.
Apple Card
Made by Apple
Apple Card is a shoe-in for the card you would want to use to purchase your new Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR, and for an obvious reason. Apple gives cardholders who make a purchase at Apple using Apple Pay 3% Daily Cash, so a base model Mac Pro would earn you around $180.00 in Daily Cash. Since you can use your Daily Cash earned to pay off your Apple Card, you can then immediately turn around and use this money to offset some of the cost of your Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR purchase. Applied this way effectively gives you a 3% discount on your new Mac Pro.
Blue Cash Preferred® Card from American Express

Together, this card will get you around $310 in statement credits on the base configuration. This card has also recently added 6% Cash Back on select U.S. streaming subscriptions, so you can keep earning while streaming Apple TV+ on your Pro Display XDR.

Unlimited power
The Chase Freedom Unlimited® is a simple cash back card with a simple offer for new Mac Pro owners. It will net you a $150 Bonus after you spend $500 on purchases in your first 3 months from account opening, an easy get for the new Mac Pro.
