I'm actually doing the same thing. My contract is up in November and I want to make sure that I have a new device before then. This is the important thing. I'm bummed, but it's certainly not the end of the world!
Got a tip for us?

Mine has shipped and will be here tomorrow. I can't believe it since I ordered so late. I guess sales are down?

Dear Kevin,
Thank you for pre-ordering the iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus with Best Buy.
Unfortunately, there's been a delay in getting you your device. We apologize for the inconvenience, as we know you are excited about your new phone.
Your iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus is expected to arrive by Friday, Oct. 7, perhaps sooner depending on your location. You can view your order status
Also, we want to try and make up for the delay by offering you a $100 discount on your next purchase at Best Buy.

Yep. I'll buy the new watch 100 off worth the wait for my iPhone 7+ jet black 256
Okay so explain this to me: mine shipped and is scheduled for delivery tomorrow, but shortly after I got the shipping email I got a notification that I get a $100 credit due to it being delayed. It's already being shipped though and is in the UPS system, so do I get it tomorrow and get a $100 credit?
I am interested to know this as well. are only those people that ordered theirs for delivery getting the emails?
Same here, both orders delayed. Haven't canceled the Apple orders though, and one is showing preparing for shipment.... So gonna cancel Best Buy.
Anyone know how to make sure the next installment gets canceled too? Call att after bb or is it automatic?
(We had for delivery 2 black 7+ 256gb)

The $100 off coupon says it has to be used by October 15 I think, so I'm guessing they expect us to use it right away. I am going to use it tonight to buy something and then cancel my Best Buy pre-order as I have a pre-order coming direct from Apple that is supposed to arrive before the new date Best Buy is giving. Plus, I want to free up my Next activation in case I find one in store sometime in the next week.
Ship to home

If you cancel you won't get the 100 dollar credit
I returned a NEXT plan iPhone to Best Buy 2 years ago and they were able to take the installments and activation off my account right there at Best Buy.
It says if you cancel preorder you can't use the credit , I'm
Sure they will charge your card. It happened to me before
If you use the coupon first and then cancel I don't see why not. Says in the email that the $100 coupon should be treated like cash.
I got a credit for the watch and used it after I canceled the order... FYI. No additional charge or anything, valid $50 GC.
