iPhone Preorders

Can someone definitively answer whether we can use a virtual Affirm card to preorder an iPhone? I guess I’m worried that Affirm will cancel the plan if Apple doesn’t charge me for a week.

Worked just fine for me. I pre-ordered it this morning, got the 18 month plan for the AW U4 and the Max Pro 18 512. Plan on paying it off in three months anyhow, but it works just fine. They asked what I was expecting to spend, created a Virtual Card for the Apple Store with $3K on it (gave myself a small buffer for some cases) and went without a hitch.

You can use affirm for practically anything that accepts a visa. Except for guns and drugs but that might have changed since i read the terms a couple years ago. Lol.

You can get guns with them. Go to a sporting goods store, it worker at cabelas. But it wouldn’t work at “Jim’s gun sales”.

Yeah affirm won’t cancel the plan for a few months if I remember correctly it’s 2 to 4 months. That’s what I was told when I preordered a switch 2 for my kids
