Actually, I believe it was 22 months (or is for your next upgrade), then is going to 20 months.

I think i still get 1 more 1 year upgrade
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

I believe if your yearly upgrade is before october you get your yearly upgrade. Everyone else gets bumped on to the 20 month cycle. My next $150 upgrade is november my last one was Feburary so I think I got the 20 months now. However I believe everyone gets one last $75 upgrade. I get mines in January so year we should get that

Here's how it was explained to me; Existing Gold members who have an upgrade date before Oct. 2 can update b/t now and then and receive a second yearly update that expires 12/31/12. Silver members are basically SOL unless you are very close to your 10 year anniversary in which exceptions are being made as that was the case for me. No one can go from Silver to Gold after 10/2.

With the timing of the cutoff it really seems like this is a way of not letting people upgrade iphones every year.esp with the doubled etf. We might have been better off with no iphone

We are better off without the iPhone, now the Vision upgrade will become more like required mainainance than an improved network....

That's the big downside with iphones. To upgrade software you must also get new hardware. I only had 3 years to go to get gold. I was even gonna switch to the 99.99 plan to have gold but oh well. All good things must come to an end.

Here's some info copied directly from Sprint's weekly playbook
Premier Gold customers eligible for the annual upgrade between now and the end of 2012 can use their qualifying annual upgrade until 12/31/12:
*Once they take advantage of their Premier annual upgrade, they will qualify for subsequent upgrades under the New for You Upgrade program.
*If they do not take advantage of their Premier annual upgrade by 12/31/12, they will immediately qualify for an upgrade under the New for You Upgrade Program.

Also, the New for You Upgrade program gets you an upgrade every 20 months starting 10/2/11.

if you've only been with sprint for a year, this doesn't apply to you. Unless you pay for a plan that qualifies you for Gold Premier status.

Sprint Promotion

So I just got a call from Sprint saying that I was eligible to receive a free Palm Pixi with a small account upgrade. Is this something they do often, and has anyone else gotten a call? Is it just for Evo owners? Should I replace my Evo with the Palm Pixi?(LOL jk)
they seem to be getting more involved with their customers, im getting the same promos for various phones, they offered me a 199 evo just yesterday and a free blackberry like 2 months ago, i also got some kind of loyalty offer today, havent bothered to read it yet
Just so you know, the pixi is free for all new lines right now...
and going from an EVO to the pixi is a pretty major step down. I wonder if anyone ever actually takes them up on that offer.

Your contract date and your upgrade date are independent of each other. Renewing your contract doesn't change your upgrade date, so you will still get your upgrade a year from your last upgrade.

Your upgrade will stay as it's before the change (April 1st). Anyone that upgraded after April 1st will lose it, but it can be reset when the time comes. 10+ year customers have it yearly and it used to be $69.99 single plans and $129.99 family plans had it yearly as well. Now it's $89.99 single plans and $169.99 family plans.

You're fine because you're upgraded was due before April 1st which is when the changes are taking effect.
Shroomz, I currently have an upgrade right now available. I was on the 69 plan but last week changed to the simply anything plan and this plan will take effect April 1st. Will my upgrade still be available after April? Also I don't understand, I have not been with sprint for a full year but have a upgrade already.
How exactly does this resetting work in my case, when my one year mark is in july?

If your 1 year is before April 1st, it will stay, if it's after it will be removed by the system. When was your last upgrade?

[Q] Upgrade/April 1st

Im sorry to start another thread on this subject but i've never seen the message that tells you when you are available for an upgrade and was curious to know if this is the message you get for a yearly upgrade(pic posted)
I bought my Evo Outright last year...But January 8th 2010 i used an upgrade to the HTC Hero..Im going to lose it April 1st arent I?
I wouldn't think so if you are already eligible BUT why not just call Sprint instead of posting here? Seriously.

because i have called Sprint and I told them about this message(picture posted) and they didn't know what the hell I was talking about and said I will lose my upgrade April 1st..I also went to my local sprint store and the manager there said I would be eligable for my upgrade when the Evo3D comes out this summer..So that is why I am here because i've gotten 2 different answers from Sprint Reps.
I would edit that photo to get rid of your phone number. There are alot of pranksters here on XDA.
Yea sprint is doing away with the yearly upgrades unless you are a premium member or whatever it's call. Basically if your not spending a certain amount you lost it
Well that sucks...Will they let me use my fiances upgrade thats due in about 60 days(her actual 2 year upgrade,hasnt gotten a new phone in 2 years) for my number?...And I will just go ahead and use my current upgrade to get her a new phone.Does Sprint let you do that?

It's always been like that, the price just went up on qualifications. They're not "doing away" with anything.
My line qualified for an upgrade on 10/10, and I just asked tonight, and they said since I have already earned it, it will remain until I choose to use it. Sounds ideal to me, those that earned the privilege during the terms of the offer should be entitled to keep it, and for everyone else the terms just got stretched out longer.
If you already have the upgrade sitting there it will stay

Man,right when I was coming to terms with the fact I was going to lose my upgrade you throw another sway in the other direction...Arrrrg,i dont know whats going to happen.
Look like you WILL lose your upgrade.
I just found this page on Sprint's website.
http://premier.sprint.com/premierupdate/faq.html
Here's the part that confirms you will lose your upgrade.
If the line qualifying for an annual upgrade is 12-21 months from the last upgrade, the upgrade must be used by March, 31, 2011. Otherwise, effective April 1, 2011, the upgrade eligibility on that line will be changed to 22 months.

This is a bit misleading. Yes, you get the $75 upgrade after 12 months, but this is simply $75 off the full retail price of the phone. When you get the "$150" upgrade, you actually get the same pricing that a new customer does, including rebates. So, this ends up being more like a $300 discount.

If your upgrade eligible now but waiting till Oct. You need to read this.

This was taken from the Sprint Premier forums. http://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/76419
"Hi xxxx
This is Clarissa with the Premier team.
Thanks for your patience. We received clarification that Premier Gold customers using their eligible annual upgrade before 10/2/11 will have one more annual upgrade available to be used by 12/31/12. If the annual upgrade is used on or after 10/2/11, that line would then be moved into the New for You program to be upgrade eligible every 20 months. In your situation, if you used your annual upgrade on 9/16/11; you would have one more annual upgrade available to be used by 12/31/12.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Thanks,
Clarissa"
So to sum this up, if you upgrade now you'll get another 12 month upgrade. If you wait till after Oct 2 your moved to the "New for you program" https://manage.sprintpcs.com/specialoffers/RebateWelcome.do which lets everyone upgrade every 20 months.
I for one was going to wait till mid Oct until I read the above quote.
Thanks for the heads up.
I, myself, became eligible for the yearly, but I wanted to wait for a (possible) google phone before the end of the year. Then, I could get another phone late next year.
With this, I may have to get the E4GT.
Also, the "new for you" is changing to 20 months.
Another source: http://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/76419
The answer for this question is yes. Current Premier Gold customers who upgrade tomorrow (or prior to 10/2/11) would qualify again for an upgrade in 12 months (that they would be able to use before 12/31/12). After that, they are going to qualify every 20 months under the New for you Handset upgrade program.

$75 off the full price of the phone = 500-75 = $425

I'd wait for Oct 1/2nd to do the upgrade.
Then you still have the 14 day swap, if the Prime comes out.
I'd be careful with this one guys...
I looked into this a little bit today - I had two separate conversations with two different Sprint Customer Service Reps regarding this...both of the reps had the same reply…..
“The Premier program is coming to a close at the end of 2011. Sprint Premier Gold customers - who aren't immediately eligible under the New for You Upgrade Program - will have until the end of 2012 to take advantage of their last qualifying annual upgrade. Once customers take advantage of their annual upgrade they will seamlessly transition to the New for You Upgrade Program under the new rules. (OR) If the customer does not utilize their upgrade eligibility before the end of December 2012 then they too will seamlessly be transitioned to the New for You Upgrade Program under the new rules (whichever scenario comes first)”
I am a Sprint Premier Gold customer & eligible for my annual upgrade. However, based on the above statements and the confusion surrounding this topic, (although itching to get my upgrade now) I will wait to see what new phones will be coming out over the next couple of months to make my final decision.
As a former Epic user, now utilizing the ET4G, I say...totally worth it.

If you look at my first post this came right from the Sprint Premier forums. If you wait till after Oct 2 then your going to lose out on a second 12 month upgrade. Do what you want though. I for one believe the Sprint mods posting in that forums compared to some random people in a call center.
In fact here is the proof. I'm a Sprint gold premier member. I just used my 12 month upgrade a few days ago to get the Epic touch.
When I go here to check when I'm eligible for my next upgrade https://manage.sprintpcs.com/specialoffers/RebateWelcome.do?ECID=vanity:upgrades
This is what it shows for me.
"Eligibility Results
Sprint New For YouTM Upgrade Program
Sorry, but you are not eligible for upgrade savings at this time.
Please note, in order to receive the pricing and offers outlined below, you will need to agree to a new contract and other conditions. More detail on this is provided below.
New For You Upgrade Details
Our records indicate the phone associated with this Sprint phone number will be eligible for the following savings on the dates shown below.
Savings Amount Eligibility Date
$150 with a two-year subscriber agreement (or $75 with a one-year agreement) 09/01/2012
Customers eligible for $150 with two-year subscriber agreement can either get $150 off or Sprint’s nationally advertised price on a new device, whichever is better. Nationally advertised price reflects regular price minus all eligible mail-in and instant rebates.
The $25 and $75 offers are a savings off regular price.
If you are seeing an N/A under your eligibility date, you are identified as a large business or government account. This offer is for small businesses and consumers only. Please contact your account representative for current available equipment offers."
Reread this line "Our records indicate the phone associated with this Sprint phone number will be eligible for the following savings on the dates shown below.
Savings Amount Eligibility Date
$150 with a two-year subscriber agreement (or $75 with a one-year agreement) 09/01/2012"
As you can see I'm eligible to upgrade again in 12 months.
So if your a gold premier member upgrade before Oct 2 or you"ll wait 20 months for the next upgrade.
This is assuming that I'd want to get another phone next year. I don't see a point to getting a phone right now because I'm happy with my Epic, and none of the other phones out there right now are not that big of a step. If I wait for several months, there will probably be a bigger-stepped phone, then I would have to wait 20 more months before I get another one.
I guess I could sell my upgrade if anyone wants to buy it, but I'm not really all that interested myself.

Yes sell your upgrade make some money AND keep your still functional epic, and for all you know you might want a new phone next year, or not and you can get that upgrade and sell it again making yourself at [least] $200!

Upgrade Eligibility

My cousin has a pretty beat up S2 i777. He is ready for n upgrade. His upgrade is June 1st. Is there a way AT&T can push his upgrade up for a slight cost? I'm on Sprint and they'll let me push my upgrade up for a fee. Just curious.
EDIT: Whoops, meant to post this in Q&A. Mods move please.

probably move it up and let him buy it on the phone. Call in nice and let them know his phone is not working so well. They'll help usually.
Mine wasn't until June. 10th but they let me move up because I was a long valued customer

I've tried this is three different corporate stores, and they've all told me the same thing. You can upgrade early if you're in the same calendar month as your stated date. So, since his is the 1st of the month, he's screwed. Otherwise, you can pay a $250 early upgrade fee. Ridiculous, I know, but that's the way it is.

isnt it a $250 early termination fee MINUS $10 for every month he was on contract...so really it would be closer to $50 plus the upgrade pruce and $36 upgrade fee and than taxes...
But people seem to have had luck getting there s4 months before there contract is up

Moved for you Stew
My upgrade was in September but they let me upgrade.
I have three lines and one was eligible in June. So I asked and a manager OK'ed it. But the guy doing the upgrade upgrade my September line. Lol so I have another upgrade next month.
AND since I had an S3 they didnt charge me the $36 upgrade because I told them I have the sim and they don't have to worry about it.

That's not what they told me in store. BUT, there's always the possibility that they had no idea what they were talking about, so you may be right.
It's infuriating that people are actually having success with this, when they refuse to let me upgrade only 5 days early...

Any store will let you upgrade as long as it's in within the same calendar month. Depends on the store you go to if you want to upgrade earlier than that. I went to 4 stores, and only one let me upgrade early because "the manager was feeling good". And according to the AT&T phone support, each store has an allowed quota that they can let upgrade early each month. You might just be out of that quota, or have a crappy AT&T store or both.
Anything is possible. I upgraded in April when my upgrade was in September. So obviously it's possible. Your other option is to call AT&T and they will surely let you upgrade as long as your account is in good standing, but then you'd have to wait for shipping. I would personally do that, as currently all the stores in my area are completely out of stock.
I'll give my cousin this info and see what happens. lol
Thanks all.
Well I called over the phone to upgrade and I was due in may 1, 2014 they let me upgrade to a s4 .the bad is that u pay extra 50$ and the phone is ion back order.so give it a try and good luck.
