Asked a couple of times but had no reply in another thread so unfortunately (apologies) creating a separate thread just for an answer. I know, I know, feel free to throw abuse my way.
Anyway..
Last time I tried to pre-order on the Apple Store website as soon as pre-orders went live, I used my debit card but my order was later declined due to my bank blocking the transaction (due to it being a high amount).
To avoid this, I'm thinking of paying for my pre-order using an Apple Store gift card for the full amount (I'm in the UK, so £799 on a single gift card for an iPhone 12).
Will the pre-order page let me use a gift card in this way or can pre-orders only be made with a debit/credit card/finance?
Thanks
