My original Premier order number contained in the initial order confirmation e-mail is different than the order number on the AT&T wireless main page when I search for "My Orders". It's ok.
However, I did just check my credit card and the pending charge is no longer there.
I have 0 under backlog and 1 under quantity ordered.
i spoke to At&T and the rep said that it could be 14 to 21 days after the order was processed, so we are not looking to receive our phones until the 21 thru the 28th....i dont know why they even offered pre orders!!!
Have you read any of this forum?
I'm in Puerto Rico and ordered 4 iPhone 5s at 3:09 EST and all of them are backordered, that does not mean anything. Yesterday the backorder tab was 0 for all of them, today it says 1 again!
Ordered: White 16GB Sept. 14th @ 6:59AM PST. Immediately received confirmation e-mail.
Showed up on regular AT&T order status @ 10PM PST Sept 15th. Date ordered shows Sept. 15th while Premier shows Sept. 14th.
Backordered column just moved from 1 to 0 in the last hour.
Nothing showing up yet on UPS or Fedex using reference trick.

Am I the only one who has NO credit card transactions whatsoever? I have a business VISA.
This give me hope... I'm in a similar situation, except I ordered a black 64GB.
yes mine is a 64GB Black and shows qty ordered =1 and qty back-ordered =0 and the order date is 9/14 on both order sites.
I am a Premier customerr and got my order in at 3:25am
My belief is we are going to start seeing more movements and eventually we will get our iPhone on Friday. Why? Because AT&T threw out the 14-21 days and the idiots who panicked and act like it's the end of the world while raging at the CSR are all cancelling their orders freeing up iPhone stock.
even if your Credit Card Pending Transactions is back to $0.00? I thought they hold it until they ship it?
Ordering a 64GB could be a double-edged sword. It's not as popular so you may be allocated one even if you order later. On the other hand, they may not have as many on stock to allocate you one.

So far I've read plenty of people who didn't get charged until a month after they received their iPhone 4/4s.
Jomirrivera: Wayyyyyy off track here, but we are planning a trip to Puerto Rico and thinking of staying in Fajardo. Thoughts?
Exactly, that why I said you can't just negotiate your way out. I had to be adamant because of course they didn't just say okay sure right away, I could feel that they did not like that I knew what I was talking about and at first weren't trying to let me go that easy, but they had no choice.
How long has your's been pending? Mine has been pending since Friday. I called Saturday to confirm CC and re-process transaction. My bank still shows no pending or transactions made by AT&T. Call them and they said it's still waiting approval...
They are still just holding my $500 for the two phones, I sure hope they don't wait a month to take the money out, I'd rather them take it out right away whether that meant it was shipping soon or not.

I haven't had anything. Didn't show up on my online banking. Had to reprocess my order on Saturday and it has been stuck at Pending status since Friday. Very irritating.
you really want us to see your order number? first thing i notice, your order number is odd.
Correct. They do not hold the charge. It's normal for pending authorizations to disappear.
There's a lot of good info on this thread as zakzam pointed out:

Basically if your back-ordered qty went from 1 to 0, you have been allocated a phone for Friday's shipment.
You can see if it's backordered using this order status page and your wireless # (whether you are premier or not. Also you will see a different order # than your premier order #, which is normal):

If you still have 1 under back-ordered, it does not mean you won't get it Friday yet. Wait until tomorrow night to see if it changes. If it's still back-ordered by tomorrow's night, then you will not get it Friday.
I wonder the same thing. I didn't order directly through premier but my order was routed through there, from AT&T.
I called AT&T this morning. They can not give me information regarding my order. The girl was confused as to why I had 2 different order numbers and order dates. She transferred me to Premier. The girl I spoke with there told me I had no outstanding issues on my order. I know I checked a box for the T&C when I was submitting my order. But I keep reading the different boards that say there are different things you have to agree to before your order continues and it can hold it up. It's just CONFUSING!! Some people say it is if you made a phone order; some don't.
I'm just super bummed that I ordered it on Friday but it doesn't show up with AT&T until Sunday. Also, why bother ordering it Friday, when if I order it now, the wait time is the same.
Oh well! I've never participated in the hype of early adoption...it is kind of exciting..and people are a little nutty. Good times
