Yeah I was strictly talking about VZW, I wasn't specific so sorry. I was just trying to let the OP know that he could upgrade early anyways through VZW without having to wait for that elgibility date.

Ok, I saw someone mention their $50 discount from VZW. I'm pretty sure, but could be off a few days, but when I went into VZW last night the kid there looked up my acct and says yes sir, you are due an upgrade and a discount. After a minute he says, it will cost $269.00 that's with my $30 discount.
Now I haven't kept up with pricing much but after 2yrs and having been a VZW customer for as long as I can remember (oh ya, Star-Tacs) lol Any who, I was sure I had read some place that we got $50 off the $299 but he said no. So I said bye. I'm still looking for my original receipt from my Droid but seems he would have mentioned I was a few days early if that was the case.
As stated in other discussions, I would prefer not to deal with VZW locally so I was checking on Costco. So this thread has been very helpful in that regard. I have always wanted to check it out anyway because of good deals I hear about online so I wouldn't mind at all paying a membership fee. I think it would be more than worth it for their return policy especially on a $300 cell phone, not to mention the bonus accessories that most will want also.
So I think I'll make a run to Costco around noon and see if all goes ok.
If there are any other tidbits of info I should know, I would greatly appreciate knowing.
Many thanks

When you are first eligible for the upgrade, you get a $30 credit. As you get closer to your contract expiration date, they give you a $50 credit instead.
Wish Costco had one day passes so I could check out the store. I want to see if they have anything I want that BJs doesn't give me as they are both locally to me. Not about to pay for a membership to find out.

Plan stays identical. They should run through the normal checklist to make sure you want to keep what you have, but I would advise making it known you want to keep unlimited data. When the guy was going over my plan, he asked if I wanted to keep unlimited data (of course I said yes), but he did mention that he was given the option or prompted to switch me to a 4GB promotional data package as he was going through the upgrade steps. He was on top of his stuff and knew to ask, but I could certainly see a less savvy person accepting the promotion without ever mentioning it. Again, they should mention this at the very end before you sign your new agreement, but I wouldn't put it past anyone to oversee this subtle mistake.
you did this while IN the store right? or over the phone?
how do i make sure i keep my unlimited plan if i order online? (for the people that dont have a memership or want one)

That's some good info to say the least.
I did take a look at Costco online but didn't notice an option for keeping my unlimited data plan. Prolly cause I didn't do a complete sign in etc.. Think I'll see if I can find a local number for Costco and try and make sure they have the Razr in stock.
Again many thanks and hope the OP doesn't mind the piggy-back post. ')

Yeah, this was inside a Costco. I can't comment on on what the procedure is online, but based on the previous post, I would imagine it's as simple as checking a box to keep unlimited data.

sorry but this info is wrong some accounts have a ne2 of 30 some are 50 it depends on priceplan and when the last ne2 credit was used. also if you are not eligible for a ne2 upgrade but only an early or annual upgrade i do not believe it can de done at indirect stores
