Anyone have any issues using a gift card as a second credit card on a purchase?

I tried to and was given this error on the thank you screen:

We are processing your order and will send you an email confirmation shortly.

Please note that your order is governed by Apple's Sales and Refund Policy.

We were unable to successfully authorize one of the credit cards on this order. Your order will be canceled. Please contact your bank to resolve the issue.

But the order is still pending, I see pending charges on both my credit card and the gift card, etc. Don't know what is going on.
 
Finally found the "reserve" option -- AFTER I placed my order!!!

Afraid to cancel the order as I think it might place a pox on everything!

May end up with two of 'em!
 
Did anyone notice the protection plan only offers a total of 2 yrs coverage instead of 3? It reads like it starts when you purchase the ipad. Most likely a typo.

No i noticed that to, and if you look at the graph, applecare only extends it 1 extra year to a total of only 2, not 3:confused:
 
16GB model for me. I'll wait to get the 3G version later in the year or wait 'til version 2.0 launches with front facing webcam.
 
available in the UK, "Late April" i.e. May-June...

How's the pound looking for a trip over the pond?!
 
Took 8 minutes to order

I can't get the stupid shopping cart to load so I can check out. Grr... Been trying for half an hour now... :(

I took 8 minutes to order on my iPhone. The status bar wouldn't move. Try hitting refresh and just click on what u need and quickly add to cart
 
Just ordered two 64 gigs. Ordering went fine except I never saw reserve for pick up button and 5 minutes later no receipt in my inbox?
 
32GB wifi only for me, I plan on buying a wifi/3g and whatever the biggest drive is at the time when a camera is added... my 32GB wifi only will have no problems finding a new home with family members.

+1... I like the way you think...

And no, I did not get a confirmation, but they may not send one out till they charge the card... That's the way my iTunes purchases work...
 
64GB 3G on order w case and VGA doohickey

I'll have to wait while you WiFi folks have all the fun on the 3rd, but I just gotta have some flexibility when I am away from a hotspot (or the free hotspots are choked with squatters)! :)

Got the VGA thing just in case I want to show off to a crowd with a projector.

Got the case cause I want it to survive in my back pack (and the propping up feature for typing or viewing looks like it might be nice)

Got the protection plan cause, well you never know, and I don't want to fork over >$99 at day 356 because a component failed.

Cheers all!

really bad at the moment.

499 + tax = $543 (taking New York as an example). Current exchange rate that is £358. you could bring that back without getting hit for tax.

599 would be £430 inc tax, so over the threshold for bringing back duty free
 
i'm torn. should i buy the 64GB 3G for $829, or splurge a bit and get a 250GB model with built-in camera, mac os x, flash support and a larger screen for $999?
 
First time ever pre-ordering something from Apple and it went smooth as silk. Process took just a couple minutes.

Question though, will Apple charge my card today or when the item ships?
 
Reserve

Just reserved a 16GB for pickup at the store April 3rd. Does anyone know if they put a limit on the website as to how many people can reserve to pick up on the first day?
 
Why, after clicking past the cart (where it says I'll have it on the 3rd) do I have an option for standard delivery (free) or 2-3 day ($12)? It sounds like neither would arrive by the third?

I live in Cambridge, MA (Boston metro area).

They charge when it ships.
 
They must be overwhelmed with preorders already -- I got my email confirmation of my reservation at the store immediately but still have not received a confirming email for my preorder for home delivery.
 
Just canceled my pre-order, placed an in-store reservation... as soon as I get a cancellation confirmation, I'll pre-order the 3G version
