Credit, Debit, and Check Cards
Whether you order online or phone in your order to Apple, you may pay by credit, debit, or check card. When you provide Apple with your card information, Apple will obtain a pre-approval from the card company for the amount of the order, which may result in a corresponding block on your available credit while the pre-approval remains in place. Apple will not bill your credit card or process a transaction under your debit or check card until your order ships.
The Apple Store accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover cards. Apple is unable to accept credit, debit, or check cards issued by banks outside of the United States.
Debit cards and check cards may have daily spending limits that could delay the processing of your order substantially.
The Apple Store requires the credit, debit, or check card security code for your card for any telephone or online purchase to protect against the unauthorized use of your credit card by other persons. The security code is an individual three- or four-digit number specific to your card that may be printed on the face of your card above the embossed account number (if American Express), or on the back of your card, on the signature panel (if Visa, MasterCard or Discover).
Combining credit, debit, check, and gift cards and Apple Credit
No matter how you place your order, you may use more than one credit, debit, charge, or gift card (or combination of them) to pay for anything Apple sells, except for an Apple Gift Card, an iTunes Gift Certificate or software download such as QuickTime. You can pay with two credit cards by indicating the amount to place on your primary card. The remaining balance will be allocated automatically to the second card. You may also use up to a total of four Apple Gift Cards, by themselves or in addition to one credit card. If you are financing all or a part of your purchase through Apple Credit, you may pay with a combination of a credit, debit, or check card and what you finance through Apple Credit, or with up to four Apple Gift Cards and what you finance through Apple Credit.
Cashier's Check or Money Order

If you wish to pay by cashier's check or money order, you may order by phone at 1-800-MY-APPLE (692-7753). The cashier's check or money order must be payable to Apple Computer, Inc. and include your web order number. Please mail your payment and a copy of your order acknowledgment to:
