Apple iPhone Upgrade Program

[Orlando Caceres]

So im interested in jumping in on this Apple iPhone Upgrade Program. I'm just curious about all the separate fee's i'll be charged when i sign up. I've read that you have to pay taxes upfront (obviously) along with your Credit Card being charged 3 months of payments in advance? What kind of fee's have any of you seen while upgrading to an iPhone 7 or 7 Plus? What was the final cost of your upfront fee's? What kind of available balance should you have on your card before placing this purchase?

Also, has anyone been denied due to credit?

3 months in advance? In what country?

3 months in advance? In what country?

In the US. It seems like it just a temporary hold of funds. I've read that its refunded in a week. So upfront you'd be charged tax, 3 month hold. I'm just curious about how much space someone should have on the credit card they'd be using for the purchase.

I just joined the Iphone Upgrade Program and was approved. I haven't been charged yet, but once it ships I will be charged this.....

98.82 (Tax on phone) + $45.75 (1st month payment) = $144.57

Every month after that $45.75.....
