Anyone who's paid on Apple Pay not even have the transaction for the phone showing as pending yet?
Also in store pick up - can't remember if based on past experience they take the money at point of pick up with it being in store....then again they have taken money for my case already

saw it when looking at order history... its just their systems playing up...
also now you can uses iTunes vouchers for hardware (I did get that right?) these deals might pop up more frequently!
Is anyone else having problem getting credit with Barclays at the Apple store? I couldn't get it last year either. My credit score is 999, I'm a homeowner, virtually no debt, and I have a professional job with a high income. My credit history is never missing a payment and paying my last 2 Apple store payment plan loans off early. There is no reason whatsoever I'd be declined, yet Barclays are refusing to give me a reason.
Is this a common problem or does Apple/Barclays just hate me for some reason? 🤷🏼♂️

do you mean card blocked? or declined by Barclays? if the latter, then I'm not sure it does
if the payment needs updating.. you can get it cleared with your bank/card provider and then go process it again.
had to settle for PM Purple as all the toher colours had changed to 14 days on EE
not ideal but we move!

Yeh the payment was taken nearly an hour later after I spoke to the bank, now showing as payment taken and its pending. Delivery date has slipped to Oct, mind still says 16th Sept. I hope it has not slipped?
Does anyone know?
Mine is delivery, they just took the money (HSBC via apple pay) but it was a little while after the order.
In store - I think they charge between now and a day or two before (not on pickup).
I had a horrendous experience with Natwest last year so avoided them this year. Every time Apple tried billing the card Natwest kept declining it but would refuse to admit that they were - went on all over the weekend. Ended up having to ring Apple and change to a different card
The problem with payment processing is its not as simple as "natwest declined" of course. Even HSBC use a payment service provider (world pay i think?) who sometimes block it on their behalf and only if you get the right person at the bank who knows where to check on the system, can they find the block.
This year I decided to use the financing, and they let me get pre-approved yesterday and save the pre-order so that it would just be a couple of clicks today.
After an hour of trying to get the pre-approved pre-order from yesterday to be completed, I gave up, started the order from scratch, was approved just as quickly and the order went straight through.
So something to remember for next time - don’t bother doing any of the steps ahead of time, it doesn’t help at all.
Anyway, at least it’s ordered, should arrive first week October

Yep I have 2 phones coming now can’t cancel my apple one
I had the same gift card balance tagged as part payment on all my 3 pre orders but when I checked out on 2nd and 3rd I removed it so there wouldn't be any issues.
Trying on the Apple Store app for half an hour going round and round in circles.
Setting times to pick from Lakeside but kept getting errors. Then all the Lakeside times were gone so I then tried Regents St…same thing. Started with Covent Garden same thing.
Went on the website and my order went straight through, although I did do a Regents St pick up it then said item only available for delivery on October the 3rd….absolute **** show!
Not sure if I’m gonna get my phone before my Music Magpie sending in deadline.

usually in a few hours you'll be able to amend apple orders
Sod Barclays declined me as well (weird as last 2 years each year approved it) even though I have their premier bank account - what a joke clearly means nothing! I ordered through Very who happily gave a 4k limit on account opening
