Changing Email for Apple Card
I recently changed the primary email on my Apple ID to get away from iCloud. I kept my old primary email (which was an iCloud email) on the account, as a secondary email, and changed the primary email. One thing to note, which will be important later, is that, from my understanding, it seems like you cannot remove an iCloud email without deleting it entirely.
When I made the update, everything worked fine for the most part, except I was still receiving Apple Card emails to the old email. After being passed back and forth between Apple Support and Goldman several times, I ultimately talked to a supervisor who wasn't clueless (the first 5 people unfortunately were unhelpful and a complete waste of a few hours). She seemed to be decently confident that I was receiving emails to the old email because it was still associated with my account, even as a secondary email. She said the only two options were to either delete the iCloud email off my account (thus deleting it entirely) or to close the Apple Card and open a new one. It goes without saying that this is an embarrassingly bad system. Wanted to share this information to at least document it. I know it's somewhat of a shot in the dark, but does anyone have any ideas as to a fix to this?
