Nationwide credit card? Maybe debit is different

Yea, I did login - available balance is showing full amount
No pending transactions that I usually see when I order onlineSo I'm at an O2 store now, and I've just seen the poster in the window (pic attached) saying I can order a 5S in the morning. I'm now locked in the bloody shopping centre car park, so this is my only option to get one today, if I can't pick one up on launch day after queuing for 10 hours I'll be pissed.
You might be pissed then as the latest update states no stock will be available to collect.....also check this out.

O2 confirmed to the BBC that it would not be selling the 5S in its stores on launch day, but that customers would be able to try a "demo" model and place an order through their website.
It is the first time that O2 has had to put all of its stock online due to low availability, a spokesman confirmed.

My friend used a Nationwide Select CC. The full amount has been reserved. My other friend used his Barclays card. His is showing as reserved £0.00.
Very odd.
Yes, I have a full time job, but I'm working afters tomorrow (Friday) and I've been off today (Thursday)
Not everyone has your standard 9-5 job. The organisation I work for doesn't have a closing time. 24/7/365.
So, it's nice when your days off fall right for something like this.
O2 don't have any stock. They'll place an order in store tomorrow, but likely wont receive it until October...
Go home and sleep.
Waiting in line for the iPhone 5S of course. If you plan on coming later, you may be disappointed. I'd say there's at least 50 people here.
Don't waste a journey if you're coming post-8am. Call to make sure they have stock.
Did you place an order as soon as it went live? Are your orders showing a processing?
Not sure if it makes a difference, but both of us changed our iTunes account credit card numbers just before placing the order.
Could be a reason they've reserved the full amount?
That's not likely. The reason why they have the estimated dispatch and delivery they do is because that is how long it will take. Some may take a few days less but there is no way any phones will be dispatched that early.
I would. Cheaper than O2. Cover much more LTE areas. Their signal is 100x better than O2's, they have stock available for next day delivery online, and they have some awesome features like 'sharer plans' (lets you have many sim cards on your plan), roaming for £5 (use all your mins/text, cheap data around the world) etc.
Not necessarily. It just means they have verified that you have enough in your account to pay of the order.
If you order online for EE and choose to collect in store it's giving a date of Tues 24th Sept that's for the Gold 16GB FYI
Apple obviously knew what there were doing hence no pre orders on the 5S publicity overdrive and hype.

It wouldn't be the first time they have used stock already in the UK for retail stores and sent online orders from China. I recall they did it with one of the iPad preorders in the past.

If you do that you will have to pay shipping costs on the dock. You might be better off just buying it from a retail store. This is why I ordered it along with my iPhone so there would be no shipping cost on it.
FFS!! Order completed and email confirmation by 0.03 and now cannot get back to sleep!!!!

I'm the same and have to get up early today! This time next year we might have an Apple store to go queue up at..
Took your advice and made the switch, had to do it online so it'll be a hassle to keep my number I guess, but it was about £1 more for EE's 4G plan than O2's 3G plan, and O2 don't even have 4G in Manchester, so it's a no-brainer.
