Hi guys
I preordered an iphone 4 from the Apple website last week and the estimated ship date was 5 July 2010. Apple charged my credit card on the day, however I had a look at my credit card account today and I can't see the charge anymore. I checked my order status and its still says order placed etc and that it will ship on 5 July. Is this normal? Will apple charge me once the phone is in stock?
Thanks0 -
It was just an authorisation charge, they didn't claim the money. They'll claim the money when your phone shipsnocturne_sa wrote: »Hi guys

Pre-Authorisation??
Pre-authorization of your credit card is technically a "hold" on your credit card credit line from a purchase placed there by a merchant who has initiated a charge, but not completely processed it. When the merchant actually completes the charge process (when your iPhone is delivered), the pre-authorization amount will be replaced by an actual charge debited from your card.
Doh.. to slow.. as above poster said!
