Anyone see an option for Applecare+ on Verizon Order Pages?

Want to order with Applecare+ but didn't see it on Verizon website - did anyone else see it?

I have the same question. Started using the VZW website and couldn't find the Applecare + option. So I switched to the Apple website. It won't let me do a family plan (ported from ATT to Verizon). Told me to come to the store and get a phone. So how can I pre-order two phones on a family plan with Applecare+?

No just the standard Verizon insurance fares.

I'm hoping we'll be able to purchase Apple Care+ at some point in the next week. I didn't see the option ordering through Verizon either, but it was such a quick process compared to people's reports on the Apple Store, and I had a $50 credit to use thru Verizon. Curiously, their iPhone 4 Apple Care page on Verizon has the 4S listed as compatible. But I still want Apple Care +

I got a call from Verizon after leaving a complaint. They do not have AppleCare+ in their system and the person that called me did not know of any plans to offer it. I expressed my disappointment and explained why this was a bad thing.

Here's a relevant thread saying that if you take the phone in to Apple quickly (perhaps day of purchase and still in box) you can buy the applecare+

Has that been confirmed wurt?

With the issue with blackberry today, I'd hate to sit on hold for 20 minutes to find out it is not the case.

I spoke with AppleCare today and while they're getting bombarded with pissed off new 4S owners from both Verizon and AT&T, they seem to have no set answer.

I visited the local Apple store and a Verizon store and neither one has an answer. The folks at the Apple store had heard of the issue but have not gotten any directions on what to tell customers.

There is this one article that describes a possible resolution, but I would really like to see something official posted on an Apple or Verizon web page.
