Well, I am actually going in as a brand new line of service (not an upgrade) and it is asking for all my credit information (driver's license, SSN, etc.) just to put it in the cart, then it says "Checking eligibility". Hopefully it isn't hitting the credit report every time!

Not sure if this'll ease the pain... multiple credit checks in the same week only count as one "hit" on your credit score.
 
I had to choose a line that wasn't eligible for an upgrade. Otherwise I couldn't do a full price purchase.

Could you briefly elaborate on that? Is that something I could do to? And would I, by doing that, achieve the almost impossible goal: Buying an Verizon iPhone at retail price without contract? :)
 
At what point is it saying it's in stock? The only time I see anything about in store pickup mentioned is when I'm at the cart!

When I check my local store, it says in GREEN that it is IN STOCK. Other stores say unavailable for pickup
But... you cant select to pick it up. It flippin annoying.

My dad has a line on our family account that isn't due for an upgrade. I used that line to put the phone in the cart. Shouldn't be an issue to buy it for that line and just not activate it on the line. When I get the phone, I just need to call Verizon and activate it on my line before turning it on. Then remove the data plan off his line.
 
hoping it did not ping my credit each time also. i tried from wifes verizon, my at&t and twice on the apple store. I am trying to add to my wifes and will lose my unlimited data - but 4 dropped calls today alone is enough to switch to verizon (unfortunately we will both lose our unlimited data)
 
I have a 5 and a 4S in my cart. If you select the 4S's pick up option it brings up a new window where you enter your zip. When you do it tells you the availability to pick up at 5 different stores closest to your location. There is one that says "unavailable for pickup". This makes me think that no one has flipped the switch vs there simply not being stock available.
