Placed an order for 9/24 delivery for two 256GB Pro Max Sierra Blue.
I ran into a problem during checkout — I had 2 pre-orders (1 on iPhone upgrade program, and the other one using Apple Card monthly installments). The Apple Card preorder completed without issues. However, I couldn’t complete the iPhone upgrade program pre-order (grueling 60 to 90 seconds) as I continued to receive an error - your card cannot be accepted (Apple Card) that just worked fine for the Apple Card preorder. After 3 failed tries, I used another card and my upgrade program preorder went through- phew!
My question is — should I have paid the 12th installment before today’s launch day order? Trying to understand so I don’t run into this issue for future preorders, thanks!
