Well I preordered mine online, and did the trade-in thing, MAYBE, I don't know, I haven't gotten a confirmation email about anything yet, and the online transaction system that Verizon sent me through was extremely clunky and backwards, and who knows if the trade-in will communicate with the purchase and combine to give me my $200 gift card, which may or may not hinge on whether it allows me to send back my old phone outside of their 7-day deadline, which is a problem due to the backorder resulting in my iPhone 6 not being delivered until late October.
Sheesh.
