Discount pricing, but not eligible for an upgrade?

My dads phone doesnt have an upgrade untill 4/24/12, but yet it says hes eligible for a discount and when I call up they always say his line is eligible for an upgrade. What is this discount pricing and how does it work if he still doesnt have an upgrade for another half a year.

Alright, couple more questions, is there any benefit from using his NE2 upgrade in april 2012 over the discount annual upgrade? And also, could I steal his discount upgrade and use it for myself? I know alot of people who steal upgrades im just not sure they are the annual ones
The NE2 discount is an additional $30,$50, or $100 discount (the amount depends on your calling plan - you'll have to call Verizon to get this information) So if you wait until April 2012, your dad's line will have that additional discount to put towards a new phone.
You can't "steal" upgrades. All you really do is purchase the phone on the eligible line, and activate it on another one.
You can use his annual upgrade now if you want, just remember it will be the 2 year contract pricing + an additional $20 fee for upgrading early. Also remember that doing so will void any and all NE2 discount he may have.
If you use his upgrade now, make sure you activate the phone on HIS line first (since you will purchase it on his line, his contract is extended another 2 years, and you must accept the terms of service by activating it on his line) and then you can activate it on yours. This process goes for using anyone else's upgrade other than your own.

Can you trade in your iphone5 for the iphone 6 if you are not eligible for an upgrade?

I want to take advantage of the iphone trade in offer Verizon is offering, can I do this if I am not eligible for an upgrade yet?

No.
Either wait it out for your upgrade time, or switch to a Verizon Edge plan (you have to turn in your iPhone 5 in lieu of ETF fees).
With Edge, you don't get anything in return for your phone, except out of your current contract.

I have an iphone4 and that I have had for four years and they are saying that I am not eligible for an upgrade until the end of July 2015. That is four years and 3 months after I purchased this phone. "Customer service" said I had an upgrade at the end of July 2013, which I did not. She said that in the system my husband took an upgrade July 29th 2013. He didn't even have a Verizon phone, he had a work phone with T-mobile. I have asked what device he supposedly upgraded to since no phones have been activated and we all still have our same phones and numbers. Remember at the time, said husband had a work phone with T-mobile. I still have the very same phone as do all of the rest of my family members. No one has upgraded. I spoke with "customer service" for more than a half an hour today, Char promised me that her supervisor (Emily) would call me back by 7:30 tonight to clear up this problem. Well guess what? No call back so where should I go from here? Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help.

someone swapped upgrades. Phone could have been sold For quick cash.

Academic Superstore CS5.5 download not eligible for CS6 upgrade?

CS5 academic version was purchased directly from Adobe in 2010 and is registered in my Adobe account.
A recent email from an academic reseller about buying CS5.5 before May 6 in order to receive a free upgrade grabbed my attention. It's really looking like a situation of buyer beware. I opted for a download version which came with an activation code for immediate gratification. But no serial number or product code was included.
I went through the steps to register with Adobe immediately after the installation on 4/30/12. Yesterday, out of curiosity, I checked my account at Adobe and did not see CS5.5 as being registered. After much searching, it seems like the download version is not considered a valid purchase by Adobe.
When the Academic Superstore was contacted, they immediately resent the email that contained the download link and activation code. In a follow up message, they "stated" that the serial number was sent in the previous message, but also to check junk mail in case it got filtered. (It was not.)
A screen grab from the Adobe Support portal with my name and address, with the request to enter the serial number was sent to the Academic Superstore. No response.
I paid for and received a product. However, I can't help but feel like I was scammed as the Superstore did not make a distinction between the boxed version or download version.
I've already resigned my self... but do I have any options with Adobe or the Superstore?

Hi Jeff,
This is certainly useful information.
However, I didn't realize that downloaded versions with an activation code purchased from a reseller are not considered valid. Academic Superstore did not send me a a key ingredient, a serial number, and have stopped responding to my concerns about receiving one from them.
I can't help but have the impression that this was an underhanded presentation of product on their part, e.g. there was no warning that the purchased download version would not be eligible for the CS6 upgrade. Had I known, I would have purchased the boxed version.
Best regards,
WV

Is there any way to purchase upgrade when PC is NOT eligible for free upgrade

Hi...
I bought my pavilion dv5 1 month to soon to get the free upgrade... Now i'm wondering if HP gives the same upgrade option to people who want to upgrade and will pay for it... I know I can buy Windows 7 on a DVD, but there's no drivers on it, and I was told by HP support that the drivers from the HP download site might not work properly on a standalone Windows 7
So is there any way to get upgrade by paying for it... Maybe HP has some buyable upgrade kit?
Sincerely
DCNR

When HP has Windows 7 drivers available, they will certainly work with a conventional Microsoft Windows 7 Upgrade version.

Bought the Galaxy S4 at Full Price, But Not Eligible for the $50.00 Rebate Card. Sound Fair?

Recently bought the Galaxy S4 for the full retail price and afterward come to find out the rebate offer of $50.00 is only good for subsidized phone purchases. How is this fair when I paid full freight? The offer should have been for either type purchase.
What gives, Verizon? Only care about getting those 2 year contracts extended???

I just looked, the rebate is clearly posted for 2 yr contracts only.
If you switch the screen to Month to Month the rebate is gone.
But even on the two year contract screen this is shown.
Full Retail Price $649.99
2-Year Contract $249.99
Online Discount -$50.00
PRICE with 2-Year contract $199.99
You are not going to be able to keep your unlimited data (if that is why you purchased at full price) if you receive any discount.

Currently still in college, but "not eligible for student premium"

I am currently still in college but spotify has changed my student premium price back to the regular price of 9.99, is there any way to amend this problem?

Hey there , welcome to the community!
I apologize for the late reply! Per the terms and conditions of the student promotion, your eligibility needs to be re-verified every 12 months, which can be tricky because your account cannot have an active premium subscription when applying the discount. Since you currently have Spotify Premium, you need to cancel it here and wait for your account to revert back to'Spotify Free' before re-applying the discount, which is done through the student page.

When you release a new phone you need to make sure than any updates you make for the old phones make them BETTER - Some of us are not eligible for the upgrades and until we are our old phones need to work just as good as they WERE working!!!!

Very dissapointed in the upgrades for the old phones

They can't support every phone forever. Eventually, the software gets to a point where it can no longer be handled by old hardware(iPhone, iPhone 3G), and support for those devices must be dropped. It's the exact same way everything else in the world is handled, from TV's to computers.

Microsoft says my 8.1 installed when I bought HP is not eligible for free win10?

I used to have a free win10 confirmation on my desktop it is no gone and when I click the one next to update it says my OS is not eligible for free upgrade to win10.Any suggestions how to get around this.

Olddomer, welcome to the forum. I suggest using this page to reserve your copy of Win 10. Please click the "Thumbs up + button" if I have helped you and click "Accept as Solution" if your problem is solved.

Using iPhone 2.5G, Not Eligible for Upgrade to 3G?!?

Okay, so here's my story...
I've had an original iPhone for a few months (bought it used), and was using it as a glorified iPod touch, testing it to see if I wanted to get the 3G when it came out. So I decided I'd get the 3G, but on a family plan, in which my Mom gets a cheapo free phone, and I get the 3G.
First problem: Apple Stores don't sell other phones, so I can't buy from Apple.
So, I go to the AT&T store. They have no 3G iPhones, but the man who sells us our phones assures us that I can do the following:
1. Buy a family plan with two cheapo phones.
2. Activate my original iPhone.
3. Go to Apple and upgrade to the 3G iPhone at the subsidized ($299 for the 16GB) price.
However, this morning I went to the Apple Store (after activating my original iPhone last night at home), and the man on his little handheld computer said that I am not eligible for the subsidized price. I'll have to pay $499 for the 16 GB iPhone). Well, after having waited for an hour (I arrived at 7 a.m. after the Apple Store employee yesterday said they open at 7—but that was only M-F), I left, because the man told me I'd have to call AT&T to sort it out.
So I called AT&T, and the lady (with a particularly Indian accent) told me I was ineligible, since I don't have the original iPhone purchase receipt from Apple.
So have I been screwed over?
Worst case scenario, I end up canceling my AT&T plan and switching back to U.S. Cellular. I want to get the 3G, but what the heck? This is insane. Why can't they give me the standard price? It has been reported all over the Internet that AT&T will let existing iPhone customers upgrade to the 3G, and indeed a few of my friends already have.

I completely missed that in those videos, then...
So, if I took my subsidized phone back to the store, would they let me give that back for a 3G, then? The only reason either of us switched was so I could get the 3G, but if I can't get it for $299 now, then I'm just going to forget about getting one at all, and switch back to US Cellular (we had more minutes in our plan!).
As an aside, the lady who answered at AT&T's help line told me that if I have a receipt for my current (original) iPhone, dated prior to the 11th, I could get the subsidized pricing on the 3G. Unfortunately, I do not have the receipt. Couldn't they tell by the serial number when the phone was purchased?
These are exactly the reasons why I hate cellular plans/companies... I thought things were changing with the original iPhone, but now it's back to square one (except more complicated, since Apple Stores only have iPhones, but can do some family plans, but not others!).

It Says im eligible for an upgrade but i have a month to month, so how much do i actually pay?

I have been eligible for an upgrade since i set up the account but i didn't go in to set it up my mom did but im still able to upgrade and when im online i go to do the upgrade and it says alllll the prices and sometimes it says 150 for a phone thats 550 and doesnt say 2yr or 1yr contract next to it. So im confused how much would i pay for lets say an Android phone like a Droid X or something if i have a month to month plan, a discounted price? or full retail price?

Verizon will offer you a discount on a phone if you sign a new contract. You can choose what type of contract you want to view pricing for by changing the selection in the drop-down menu at the top of the page with the phones listed.
Signing a 2 year contract will give you the largest discount, a 1 year usually costs about $70 more, and month-to-month pricing means that you pay full retail (around $600 for most smartphones).

What is going on with this stupid machine

Machines are incapable of being stupid. Not so of their operators.
Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
       until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

The Veriton X275 not eligible for Win. 10 upgrade! Why?

I have noticed that the Veriton X275 is not listed among the computers eligible for an upgrade to Windows 10. http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/windows10-eligible-models Microsoft has indicated that this computer qualifies to upgrade and the Windows 10 app is stating that Microsoft is working with the Manufacter. My other computer a Toshiba which was registered to upgrade to Win 10 some time afterward has already completed the process, so it is not regionally based. Others in my country have received Win 10 also.

that list states the models that will have drivers support, nothing related to eligilibty to windows 10 update. you can update it but you will need to search new drivers or let windows 10 install new drivers automatically.
