How soon will our cards be charged?

I ordered a Gold Iphone Xs Max 256gb and the series 4 Apple Watch stainless steel outright for pick-up at a store on release day, but I am concerned with my card flagging it and declining the transaction cause its such a large amount. I used my chase card and when I have made large purchases in the past it has been declined before, not for lack of funds but because they think its fraud.

If this happens will I lose my place and be forced to re-order?

iPhone XS Max 256GB Space Grey, whether it's confirmed well...starting to feel like something went wrong here. Got in at 3:03, out by 3:04, but no in-store options anywhere were available, and the ship date was listed as Sep 28th - Oct 5th. Zero emails yet and I can't even access my account records, just says "try back in a few hours"......

Could have sworn I chose ATT Next monthly installments but it’s not listed at all on my order confirmation. Hopefully I can change that later? I’ve got Sep 21 delivery and want to keep that.

I got what I wanted! I placed my order for the phone first. I went with silver instead of SG. Changed my mind last minute. Then purchased my first ever Apple Watch! I’m excited! A little nervous too because I got a confirmation email for the watch but not the phone. Hmm. I’m pretty sure that happened last year too.

I did the same thing, got the watch confirmation first then 14 minutes later the phone confirmation came in.

44 SS Series 4 with Maltese in Space Black
512 iPhone Xs Max in Space Grey

Both set to be delivered on the Fri 21st.

Email for me came in about 5-10 min after I placed my order. XS Gold 64gb on launch day. So much more painless than last year lol.

If it was going to flag as fraud, it would do so within a few minutes of purchase or sooner. If it hasn't happened, you will probably be fine.

64GB SG Max
44MM SG Nike S4

2 separate orders, 2 separate emails...both on launch day!

Just bummed I couldn't do inshore pickup for the Watch.

Surprised how quick and easy this year.
Nike isn't really 'launch day'
