I think the subjuect of upgrade eligibility has been covered on this board before but in a nutshell: Any carrier that subsidizes cost of equipment looks at recooping the revenue from the service plan over a certain period of time. If a carrier were to offer upgrades credits to customers everytime the cusomter wanted a new device that carrier would lose lots of money. This case is no different and it is highly unlikely that Sprint will budge especially since there is still a year and a half before you are eligible of the upgrade credit.
