I banned SenQ during the iPhone 14 year.

I banned again Switch last year. The last time I went into their store at 7:58 pm, no customer at all, but they were still busy keying in pre-order for someone else and left me alone until 8:15 pm. Only then they help me process the pre-order, leaving me with batch 2 onwards. I traded in my iPhone with Switch also, and the value was significantly different from what it showed on their website.

This year, I will just buy from the office Apple website.

Last year the price showing RM33xx and in the end I got RM2800 instead. I am sure my device is almost perfect condition. That’s make me give up with Switch.

After using Apple casing for many years, I decided to try the Taobao casing this year for my 17pro max. However, after a week, I really dont like non apple casing and decided to return to using Apple casing. Haha!

Apple trade-in is the most straightforward one compared to other resellers who nitpick everything to the finest details. If you don’t get a discount for buying from a reseller, I really don’t see the point of trading in with them too.

Yes! I RECOMMENDED APPLE dot com. After my last year’s experience with the Switch, I decided to trade in directly with Apple this year. Last year, I chose the Switch because it was RM200 higher than the Apple official trade in price. However, the final price was actually RM600 lower than what Switch advertised on their website. I had to wait a long time for the stock to arrive, and the trade-in value was lower than what they advertised. My battery’s health was over 80% that time, the only issue was that there were some minor scratches near the charging port. Then they just give the very low price for the trade in.
This year, I placed my order through Apple’s official website, received on the first day during launch day and was excited to see people complaining about the ā€œNo ETAā€. I still haven’t received my order, even though the ETA is 19 September.

Guess what after the trade-in completed, that gift card is kinda refunded back to me and I got an email for gift card this afternoon which I thought was a glitch. I checked my emails again then I saw Apple sent me a gift card of the same value I used earlier for 17PM. When I purchased the 17PM, my credit card was already charged with the amount after offset with the gift card.

So double gift cards from Apple? Is this happening to you too?

I’m not complaining if it’s free money though then I can use it to buy an iPhone 17 for my mom. laugh.gif

I just threw away the physical gift card two days ago so I cannot validate if the PIN is the same but the last 4 digits of the online gift card number is different from the one I used earlier to buy 17PM. I tried applying this new PIN and it works, I can apply it. sweat.gif
Edit: Oh damn. I just read this on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/kjk...e_using_a_gift/
Apparently, Apple will first refund back to my gift card and the balance to my credit card. Meaning to say I will only get 2350 refunded back to my credit card as my gift card is 1150. This is absolutely nonsense. ranting.gif I will end up with endless loop of gift card refund if I keep trading in my phone and use a gift card. mad.gif

Good to know how their system work. It mean Apple will first use the gift card, then only use the credit card. When I read your post halfway, I thought Apple might refund the gift card you used to buy the iPhone and then transfer the balance to your credit card. After reading the entire post, I confirmed my guess.

Anyone encountered this kind of issue before? which got two active eSIMs which SIM A is lion city one has free roaming data for bolehland and is the default line for both voice and data.

While SIM B is celcomdigi kuning line which auto roaming is turned on including data roaming but the line is now in grace period no active plan but got line one.

Then whenever leaving bolehland and arrive in lion city, the SIM B will automatically be turned off and the message below is shown.

What is the cause of this?
