Pre-Order iP6 Using Gift Cards and CC?

[CKtoph]

Has anyone ever pre-ordered the iPhone in the past or know if you can pre-order online with a combination of gift cards and CC?

Yup, you can do that.

You can use a total of 8 gift cards.

Thanks. Quick follow-up: could I pre-order the iP6+, bring my iP5 in to the store next week for a trade-in gift card, and get that gift card applied to my pre-order purchase from 9/12?

i am doing the same. I was able to get one purchased and already got it via email. I tried to get another one and now it is saying my cc isn't verified, when I try and re authorize it it still says it can't. So I am wondering if Apple is already having issues with a lot of people doing this. I'm going to try a while longer and if I have to I will just cancel the order and use the one that was able to get in addition to my CC.

Will there be an issue using my Paypal MasterCard debit card for the preorder? Or should I with draw the money from my paypal account, deposit it into my bank account, and then pay with my bank card or CC?

Amex all the way. 90 days against theft. If phone is stolen, open a police report, call Amex. Full refund. Done.

I have personally done this myself. I mean got my new phone stolen.
