[I posted this deep in another thread, but I figured I would start one of its own]
In the past, has anyone ordered their iPhone from Apple.com even though they had a Premier AT&T account, and successfully gone to AT&T to get their activation fee waived and plan discount added to their account?
Here is my situation:
I found out today that my spouse has access to the Premier site via a discount program from her employer.
I was originally going to order the 3GS from the Apple Store since I have a gift card and try to get the plan discount changed and activation fee waived from the AT&T store after I got the phone.
But, then I thought that could be a hassle because the discount is from my spouse's employer, and she would just be putting the plan in my name.
So that would mean, theoretically, she would have to order it from the Apple Store using her name and all that stuff. And I would probably have to bring her in to the AT&T store to get it all squared away.
So now I am thinking ordering from the AT&T Premier Store directly is probably the easier way, and I will have to figure out another use for that gift card.
What process would you use to order?
Anyone ever order from the Apple Store and change things at the AT&T store after the fact, even when you weren't the primary family member with the discount?
Thanks!
