    iPhone Upgrade Program 13th Payment Fiasco

    Figured that this situation might happen to a few other people but I wanted to express my displeasure with the iPhone Upgrade program and Apple's partner Citizen's Loan. I upgraded my 6s on Friday that I bought last year as part of the upgrade program. Because I bought the phone October 18th...

    iPhone Upgrade Program Warning — Terrible Experience

    TL;DR — Don't make a typo, and don't expect them to help you figure out what the real problem is if you didn't make a typo. I was declined because they were "Unable to verify credit references as provided." When trying to find out specifically what that meant and what I could do about it, they...

    UK iPhone Upgrade Program after launch

    I was wanting to join the IUP as it's now available in the UK, but naturally the phone I want (JB 256GB 7+) is available nowhere. The website states that the IUP orders would be for the 16th, the launch day, and then it says you can check back at 0600 on the 17th if your phone isn't in the list...

    Worried about being accepted on UK IUP

    Evening all, Is anyone else worried about being accepted onto the UK IUP? Any idea how strict Barclays are? Thankfully, I've never missed a credit card payment but have sometimes been in my agreed overdraft. Will this go against me badly? I'm travelling 80 miles to an Apple shop to upgrade...

    -20 point drop for iPhone credit check

    So I was told in-store there would be no "hard" credit check. Total lie. My score went from 829 to 809 today. Pissed.

    iPhone 7 IUP Support Thread

    I don't know how your preorder went, but my order on the IPhone upgrade program is non existent. I am curious how many other people were flat out not able to order their phone. My experience was logging in the moment that the store app was working only to see no avaibility and no way to pre...

    Alright, I am creating this one thread so I don't have to copy and paste in 10 other threads regarding the iPhone upgrade program. According to the iOS Apple Store App, after entering my information to upgrade on the program (after completing one full year with my 6s) it states the following...

    Current iPhone upgrade program member, credit pull for iPhone 7?

    Hey everyone, I opted for the iPhone upgrade program for my iPhone 6s Plus, and plan to do it this time around for the 7. I was wondering if they will do a new hard credit pull for the 7? Or just work off of the existing one? The reason I'm asking is because my reports are currently frozen...

    iPhone Upgrade Program Question

    Question for the Apple Fan(s) on the iPhone Upgrade Program. I'm 19 and haven't really established my credit that much. I've been hearing that when I come to upgrade my phone they are going to create another loan and cancel my old loan w/ trade-in. Is it possible to not qualify the second time...
