Did anyone else get their iPhone pro today through the iPhone upgrade program and under the settings tab it is looking for you to purchase AppleCare+

I have the same problem with a regular bought iPhone that AC+ is not linked to the device yet.
First time for me buying AC+ directly with a product, so I don't know if it should be active instantly.
Normally I got an email with coverage confirmation. I already got an invoice with matching serial number, so I will wait a few days and then call the support.
 
I got the AC+ coverage email about 1.5 hours after I picked up the phone, so about 30-40 mins after I activated it. It will probably arrive a bit later.
 
Same problem here on iUP. Did you get yours sorted out?

I talked to support and they said it could take up to 72 hours to show up. This is the first time I have done the program vs buying retail and then adding it
 
I did the IUP for the first time and got my AC+ right away and it shows in Settings > About, you might want to give them a call.
 
Weird. I got an email notification confirming proof of coverage but the settings still just shows Limited warranty expiring next year and AppleCare+ available. It’s been 18 hrs since I got the phone.
 
Ditto. Bought via iUp and apple care is not showing. If I try to buy it says it’s not available so guess it just needs some time to synch up
 
Someone else from Apple support also said it may take a week and if it is not showing by then to give them a call back
 
I just got my email so hopefully everyone will be getting theirs soon too
 
I just double checked the settings app and while it still showed the offer in the main screen, going to General->About showed it updated with AppleCare+. The main screen still shows an empty spot where the offer used to be now and “null” if I tap it.

I just got the AppleCare email this evening around 7pm, I looked at my phone and AppleCare wasn't updated then - however just looking now (2hrs later) and it has finally updated.

Same here. Got the email a few hours ago, and it just updated on my phone.
 
I go the email an hour ago but it's still not showing up on my phone, even after a reboot. Going to wait a few days before I'm concerned.
 
Got the email at 11:30 AM, but it’s now 7 PM and still not updated on the About page. Will give it some more time. The coverage now verifies on their website tool at least, so it seems to be officially added at this point despite it not showing on that about page.
