Exactly what I am thinking and hoping!!!
[doublepost=1474212589][/doublepost]

Would you let me know how it works out when done. If you don't mind.

Will do. Given the way things have been going, I'm expecting some sort of extra road block to pop up. I did just try to order through Apple.com to check upgrade eligibility and it said I was good to go. But we'll see.
 
what time ????

Order confirm at 2:14am 9/9.
Phones: 128 7+ MB and 128 7 Gold
Charged about 5 minutes ago.
[doublepost=1474213860][/doublepost]FYI, I posted about this last night. I got my bill and paid it which means that when their system charged me i would end up over paying on the trade in devices. I had hoped that their system would be smart enough to recheck to see if I was at 50% before making the charge. That did not happen. I was charged the device payment amount on the new order.. I am on the phone now to get that credited.

My bill is not due to the 23rd. When I preordered the device I authorized the amount due to make it 50% which was 63$. So when I preordered it I had the total of the first month installment tax for the phone and the amount I need to pay for upgrade. I don't understand
 
Yay! CC just charged! 7+ 128 MB ordered 9/9 at 12:37 PST. Original ship date 9/23. Also ordered a 7 128 MB for my wife on same order.

Still no shipment info. Delivery date disappeared.

Does anyone know if you can do Verizon Business through Apple via this method? I remember you couldn't back in the day but I have no idea if they've updated it.

Piggybacking on this question to see if I could do Verizon device payment through Apple on a business account in order to get the trade-in promo.

I'm pretty sure we could buy a phone at Apple "device only" where they don't have to check your account info, but that may be the only way.
 
Could of had me a 128 matte black 7+ this morning but the jet black is so gorgeous I'm gonna wait it out

On the pre-order you authorized VZW to charge you the amount that equaled getting you to 50%, but if you have a bill cycle that happens after you put the preorder in it too will have a charge on it for your typical device payment plan amount, but those dollars relate to the old phones and not the new ones. You want to make sure that you do not pay that amount twice.

Here is an example:

You have a 6s and on 9.9 you had paid all but 1 payment to get you to 50% you would have had say a $31 authorization on the preorder to get you to 50%, however if you have a bill that cycles before your preorder is charged you can look at the bill and see a device payment charge of the same $31. If you pay your bill and you pay the amount on the preorder you would double pay that $31.

All of this is really dependent on timing, some people won't have this issue, some will. It is all based on when your bill cycle hits, when you put your preorder in, and when the preorder is charged.

I just got off the phone with VZW. They said that the system should automatically fix the issue, but not until the next bill cycle hits. We will see.
 
Looks like the combos are getting some progress. Ordered a 128+ MB and a regular 128 MB together and have been charged as of an hour ago. 12:16a PST order.

Original order ship date: 10/5
Reordered ship date due to Verizon error: 11/19

This may be the first time I've heard about jet black iPhone 7 Plus being shipped from Verizon. Mine is a 256 GB and original deliver by date of 9/28.

Went ahead and picked up the reservation that I made for 7 Plus Verizon Model Matte Black 128 GB at the Apple store. Used the iUP reservation link but when I went I told them that I'm buying outright.

Since the Verizon Store ordered my phone, I don't have a confirmation number or any tracking from Verizon (so I can't really tell what my status is) s looks like I'll end up getting another one, but I'll tell Verizon store that when it's ready for pick up that I'll return it and just pay the restock fee and someone may be lucky to get one at the Verizon store for walk in lol.

Do you have to either do IUP or buy outright? Or can you do installments like that too?

Same exact time and config. I don't think many, if any, of our config have been shipped from Verizon yet.
 
Checked my bank account, saw a $1.00 charge and got excited... Nope just from the gas I bought last night. Smh.
