I remember reading somewhere that Verizon will charge your card $1 to reserve your order and then charge the remaining price when the phone ships. Don't quote me on that but it would make sense. Same deal when you go and preorder anything else really. Legally they are not allowed to charge the amount to your credit card if it is not shipped.

Anyone else who pre-ordered still yet to have the $1 charge on their CC? I have seen no activity on my chase cc account as of a few minutes ago, and I pre-ordered at about 7:20am on 6/6... For reference, I am not the account owner, but I logged in through her account and pre-ordered but put in my own cc #. As some have stated before, I was not given the option to change the billing address, but only to enter the zip of the CC. I guess it could be done like an in-person transaction similar to filling up at the gas station, where you only have to enter your zip? I have gotten the confirmation emails and I spoke with a vzw rep who confirmed that it will be fine, but I am hesitant to believe anything the reps tell me with how they have answered the same question differently for different people. I just REALLY dont want to get royally screwed by them not charging the cc until ship day and it getting declined for bad information. Ehhh, what a pain in the ass. -_-

I haven't got charged for the phone yet either. I was told over the phone that the charge would happen immediately and I was hoping it would. It's a lot easier to keep track of how much money I have available when purchases come out right away.

It won't be charged till it ships. I also charged a card with a different name than the account holder. I talked to 2 different vzw reps and they both said it would be ok. They said if there were any problems with the card it would not have allowed the order to go through.

Yeah I got the same story... it just seems weird that alot of people are seeing $1 charges or a $1 charge and a $1 credit on their credit cards.

They don't put a $1 charge on your card, what they do is put a $1 auth on the card just to check that it is valid and active. That auth disappears quickly. The card will then be charged later.

On androidforums, someone put their pre order number into Verizons order status checker, and the date was 6/28/...9846 or something like that lol. Everyone who pre ordered through Verizon check your orders!

My experience with preordering in the past is they debit and credit my account for a $1 to verify the account and then fully billed once device is about to ship. Some of you make want to check with your bank to see if they show line items in your pending transactions that net to $0.00.

I talked to a rep on Friday. I had pre-ordered shortly after 7am on Wed and never saw the $1 charge some have mentioned. I also am a single account and used the credit card on file that I charge my monthly bill too. She said not to worry if I didn't see a charge. The order is in and looks fine.

I pre-ordered yesterday for the 32GB Pebble Blue, and I'm being ripped for it. Everyone says I should have gone for the 16GB since I never use that much space. I guess I could always call and change it, right?

 

[jimbo1mcm]

You'll go to the back of the line! I ordered a 32GB Blue. I am sure I'll use that amount. I also have a 32GB micro sd.

I ordered the 16gb in blue. Handing the Nexus down to my wife. Plus, ordering the 64gb microSD onsale at BestBuy today for $50.

 

[RifterAD]

Phew! I was getting worried because I was trying to pre-order, but Verizion must have been doing some system maintenance and they couldn't process my order and kept telling me to check back later. An hour later, it finally went thru...now we wait.

No order date when I check the status:


Here is the status of your Pre-order:
We received your order and it is in process. Expected Ship Date: Not available at this time.

Blue 16G and just received my email confirmation. I just ordered it today. I want to say thank you to most of the posters who helped in making my decision. I am very excited to get this phone and releasing my storm into the garbage. I am looking forward to the android experience.

I had the same problem but finally got it through just minutes ago. Try it now if you have not already done so. Enjoy the day.

Don't listen to them. You made the right choice and you'll use it. That's my prediction anyway

The same thing happened to me, but when I checked back again it said "unavailable."

Question: Can you pre-order in the store too?

 

[DianeR]

yes, you can pre-order in the store.
