I pre-ordered a 13 inch MBP early on October 28 (like 3am or something) and used the barclaycard financing. I never once thought that I would be ineligible for the special financing (18 months no interest) because of my order not processing in the first 30 days, but that may just be the case.
As of now it still says my shipment will arrive december 6-12. Even if its a week early, it still won't post within the 30 days, which means I SO can't afford it. I was banking on the 18 months and my student loans that post within that time.
Right now the plan is to wait until day 29 and call Barclaycard and Apple. I called both previously, but neither helped. Apple said theres a chance it will post earlier and Barclaycard said they cannot guarantee the differed interest rate, but could review my account after the fact if I ask them to and maybe they can do something... very vague.
Any suggestions?
