Did you at least try calling Apple?
They surely can put the order as pending or something.
Give them a try.

1st, have you never bought anything online before? the hold thing is a common practice to verify that the info you gave them is correct.
2nd, for someone to be as upset as you say you are, you seem very unwilling to do what people on here suggested you do, CALL APPLE!!! you keep saying there is nothin they can do, HOW DO YOU KNOW UNTIL YOU CALL?????
Also, if I was as upset and desperate as you say you are, I would not care how stupid I sounded asking questions, I would just do whatever it took to get it done.
3rd, it is a freaking data plan. 2gb is plenty for most people. unless you plan using 3g exclusively for hours upon hours a day, 2gb will be PLENTY...
I have the wifi version that i tether to my phone when i need to and i find very few occasions that i don't have a wifi hotspot available to me.
BTW, in the amount of time it took you to post the question about the gift card returns, and then the time you waited for a response, and the time you spent posting subsequent pleas asking someone to answer, you could have picked up the phone and called 1800APPLE or a retail store and got the answer right from them.

Ok, Sir, Since I can tell you are gentleman and in need I will help you out. Please wire the money to my cousin King Kabob of Nigeria who will send to you an iPad of your choice plus $100000 US. Ok?
I got an email from king kabob last week. He said I had won the Nigerian national lottery. I must be the luckiest guy in the world, I have won over 15 national lotteries in the last few months.
Unless you've called your bank and changed it, I don't know of any bank that doesn't have a daily transaction limit. Although most I've seen or heard of are closer to the $1200 range. I'm sure other banks have different limits, just speaking from personal experience.
Give your banks 800 number a try or whatever automated number you'd call to check your balance, they might be closed but there's someone somewhere waiting to cancel your debit card 24 hrs a day! For example, AT&T customer service closes a 8pm cst I believe, but if you end up needing the pin number to unlock your phone, you can get someone 24/7. Even though they're bot customer service, I've never had an issue getting them to help me with something else.
Again, the first thing you should do is give apple a call and find out what exactly kicked the transaction back, all this time you've spent, it very well could just be you typed the address in wrong and the billing address didn't match by 1 letter. They can tell you this much at least I'd think. You can always go to bestbuys website and see if you're local best buy has one. Even if the card is getting kicked back through apples website, it should work for a in person pin based transaction which if it's some type of fraud issue a pin based transaction should still work fine though. Again as previously mentioned you can always call or go to your local apple store. What's the worst they can do, tell you no. Hope it works out for you. Oh, more then likely you should be able to call your bank Monday morning, straighten this out and order your ipad and still get the unlimited plan. I'm not 100% on this, but let's say my electric bill is due on Monday June 7th, and I don't go pay it, they're not gong to cut my lights off until June 8th. So, I'd think you should have until June 7 11:59pm.
Not sure on this either, can AT&T activate a ipad sim in store or does it have o be done from the ipad? I'm getting one in the next few weeks for work and if they can activate the. In store then I'll go ahead and pick one up tomorrow to hold onto for a few weeks. Just a few thoughts for you there!

Somebody didn't check the facts before they criticize me. Today, the 6th (Sunday) is the LAST day to order an iPad and be grandfathered in for Unlimited.
Monday will be too late.
I'm SO PISSED about this. I've tried EVERY hotline and number, and Apple rep told me "I cannot suspend an order, or accept a payment, unless your credit card allows it".
I KNEW that was a stupid thing to ask, I just didn't want to insult the people here who suggested it.
Visit apple store this morning, ask what time they usually get new shipments (larger stores get new inventory in weekend too) and come back then or stick around. You might be able to buy one walk-in.
go back in time and order it instead of waiting until the last minute then complaining on macrumors about your problems.
