I would not worry about the e-mail. The e-mail I received is the same exact photo of what you posted. If you already got pre-approved, stop sweating over it.
I got a message from the Apple Store on the phone. Not an email. I also called on Monday and made my 12th payment to ensure eligibility.
That’s the one I see on Apple store Apple I called Apple and Citzen.
Apple says there delay and Citzen says I got approved.

I called Citzen twice and I was approved
I went on Apple Store app and got pre-approved as soon as the store came back online.
now just waiting to pre-order my XS Max.
I opened up a thread for the same issue and turned out that it wasn't just me. My case has been resolved thanks to many ppl who got contacted apple for the same matter and you may as well call them during tomorrow before the pre-order goes online!

Bummer. Thanks for that info. Stuck on a huge down payment again with tmobile JOD for another year haha.
Ok, yes, it can be done with Apple at check out, that’s true. I was only saying that if they wanted to make an additional payment with Citizens One that their website doesn’t allow it: I had to call them.
Considering having this cycle be my first time with the Apple upgrade program.
I bought my previous iPhone outright - off contract. I don’t have to trade it in right? I’d just start as a new iPhone upgrade program with a new phone and keep my previous - fully paid for device.

Thanks. Sorry - wasn’t entirely clear on the Apple information site. In retrospect a silly question on my part. Considering the cost is the same and I get Apple care anyway - and enjoy upgrading every 1-2 years this seems like a good deal for me.
Question for anyone who did this last year - I was preapproved but want to change from 256 to 512. Do I need to go through the approval process again on Friday at 3am or will I just be able to swap the phone in my bag to checkout?
Naw...I’m not on the iUP program and I got pre-approved. You do need an iPhone since it doesn’t work on iPad.
Unless I'm missing something, I'm not sure this is true. My wife went through the process and was pre-approved and she is not currently in the iUP.
my bad. you are correct. I did try it again on my iPhone as a buying a new phone and sure it let me get through the pre-approval process.
It works, only on iPhone.

Yes, you can. I just got approved for the first time. Tried the first year and was denied. Just got instant approval. Soooo.
I was doing the Upgrade Program pre-approval on my ipad and then on my Mac after receiving the email. Apparently it has to be done on the iphone as it worked smoothly on the phone but would not get past the point of saying I needed to upgrade the Apple Store app but it took me to a "dead end".
Not true. I got the email and get the same notification in my app. I don’t think it makes a difference.
