Why do you think Verizon doesn't do a credit check? To the OP it depends how many hard credit checks are on your record. Credit Karma website has some good information for those types of questions.I'm not going to do it again next year. I'm with Verizon and their plan was the same as Apples minus the mandatory AppleCare+ and hard credit checks. I'm trying so hard to get my credit as high as I can and this is the last thing I need. I hope they change it before next year, though I doubt it
We don't yet know what the 'renewal' process is. There is supposed to be a different process (soft pulls) for current customers of Citizens, which is what we will be next year. But then others have said they have been told it's a hard pull each time.Hi
I am older, and don't plan to be buying a new home. Our car is paid for. Should I be concerned about hard pulls on my credit score, if I am upgrading yearly with AUP? I had no problems with initial approval.

I think we need to wait for things to shake out over the yearly cycle.
As for your own credit history, I can't see how one hard pull will affect you; I'm in the same boat, more or less, with no large purchases coming up.
There's a post on here somewhere where someone returned a device and got another and there report showed 2x hard pullsRight, but my point was, it hasn't happened yet so we don't really know. All that could be wrong info.Wouldn't be the first time.
No, my point was we don't know what will actually happen on 'renewals' until next year. I agree it doesn't look good based on that example. That should be a soft based on pre-existing relationship, I would think.There's a post on here somewhere where someone returned a device and got another and there report showed 2x hard pulls
Yes, that matches what the employee told me while I was setting up my UP. He said that the loan is tied to the device so if you utilize applecare + or otherwise get the device changed out they will do yet another hard pull credit check. The employee agreed it was ridiculous and said it was a work in progress and had heard things will be changing (take that with a grain of salt).There's a post on here somewhere where someone returned a device and got another and there report showed 2x hard pulls

You can try calling Apple. However, it is my understanding that this program must be signed up for in the store. Here's the link for Apples Terms & Conditions of their upgrade program: http://www.apple.com/legal/sales-support/iphoneupgrade_us/Is there anyway to check my eligibility without going to an apple store? That's quite a drive to possibly be denied.
