If you haven't, you might want to call customer service to resolve the mistake.
I was going to skip this round of updates for the first time ever, but the 4-hour longer battery life was just enough to nudge me over.
If you get the green check next to “pre-approval,” does that mean you’ve been approved...? Or just that you submitted the application?

do they even do a real credit check or just validate you have room on the card you'll be processing payments on? I don't think I've ever seen an inquiry from IUP.
I had a hard inquiry from Citizens Bank appear on my TransUnion report last October when I jointed IUP. I did not get an inquiry (or at least haven't been notified yet) for the pre-approval today.
I’m fairly certain that only the first or initial inquiry is a hard check and after that they only do a soft check so if you have your credit frozen, it still goes through.
hello my friends,
So today I decided to apply for the iPhone upgrade program. I followed all the steps and I was confident that I’ll be in with no problem because I have a good score of 720. But here is what I got:
There is an issue with your application
Unfortunately, you were not approved for this offer.
Citizens one will send you an email explaining why your application was unsuccessful, along with a phone number to call if you’d like to discuss the status of your application.
======
So what’s going on here? I did not get the email they mentioned. It seems there is something wrong but I noticed they did a hard inquiry on my credit through EQUIFAX.
Did anyone face anything like that?
Thank you

Done. Space Gray. No problems with Verizon.

I’m running into this issue as well with T-Mobile. Mine is on a business account. Not sure if that matters.
Same here. I buy five phones at launch every single year. My credit is 770. Maybe the recent Apple Card broke my credit, no idea. Seems busted to me.
Any T-Mobile users here? I’m not have any luck. Keeps telling me to try later. I contacted T-Mobile but they didn’t even know what the iPhone upgrade was.
I guess the apple card is the problem

Do u know what? I think you r right because I just got the apple card like you :-(
If the Apple Card is the cause, Apple should work with Citizens One to fix it so that we can upgrade. It’s like a good customer penalty otherwise.
Should we contact apple for that?
I hope more people could confirm that
