It's up to the discretion of the individual store or (if you're calling in) the individual rep's manager, but if you're a regular consumer I kinda doubt it. I'd advise you to check in advance with a store and get the manager to notate the account if they decide to allow it.

They will pretty much always do it 1 day early. There is a 24 hour rule.

And sometimes it's better to spend a few more dollars and actually like the phone you end up purchasing, and know what it is capable of.

But mention you are getting it online so the salespeople don't waste their time on you.

If you get something online to save a few bucks that is your choice, but don't take advantage of a salesperson's knowledge and help and then get the phone else ware.

Dude, I never said they had too, I just said it was a thought.
Sometimes in stores they will give you a free car charger or case.

Doubtful, the reps wont get paid full commission if they move your upgrade elig. up a day. It has to be within an exact time frame of your contract end date for full commish. But yes, sometimes the manager will move it up, or they will say come on its only 1 more day. haha who knows

yea you may be able to get a better deal online, so you'll have to wait till your upgrade date to do so

I'm sure you will find someone to do it a day early, but the whole thing is... I don't know what to say about it. One day? What's the big deal? Hmmmmm.... I have not been a commissioned sales rep in six years and things like this are the reason I refuse to go back. One day is the difference between a rep actually getting paid for the upgrade or not.

Buy it in a corporate store and give the RSR's a chance to earn some bucks. They need it and deserve the business, plus they are able to get you a deal sometimes on accessories if their manager approves it. 😉
