I am flying up to Portland, OR and trying to get a decent amount of iPhones from Apple store. I heard that Apple change their store policy to 5 iPhones per cusomter. Also, are they still tracking your credit card once you bought 5 iPhones? Because my co-worker told me that he bought like 20 iPhones in 4 Apple stores with same credit card. No questions asked! What is the strategy for getting lot of iPhones?

Don't know in Oregon, but NYC's 5th Ave. has a 2 items per ccard policy...at least it did last Sat. It did not have it in the past as a friend got 50 units...no kidding!!!!

i had no problems at NYC's 5th Ave. i bought 8 phones, 5 with my father's card and 3 more with my mother's card.
i also told "geniuses" that i was going to unlock all of them, and yes.. i received the stupid answer from them..

quote: This new version can't be unlocked so dont bother..lol

EDIT: this happened last week by the way

Alright! Wish me luck! I am going to start hunting iPhones in Portland, OR today. I hope I can use the same credit card over and over again @ 3 Apple stores.

thats what i do, i drive down there, hit all 3 shops 2-3x each and get 2 phones from them.. they wont catch your card till after a few days.. then just cancel the card get a new # and you can do it again.. goodluck
