1 line on EDP has Upgrade Credit - how can I use it on Other lines for EVO?

I have a 3 line EDP shared plan on Sprint.
All three lines are within contract & were renewed in the past year.
However, 1 of those lines still has a Handset Upgrade Credit of $150 unused when I renewed it.

Is there a way I can use that credit for a $199 EVO on one of the other 2 lines?
I don't want to activate the EVO on the 3rd line since my daughter has no need for an it.

Yep, just call them and say you want to use the upgrade credit for line X on line A..

I also did something similar, 2 lines, one with credit (Blackberry 8350i) one without (Hero). Got the Evo with the credit, but immediately switched phone numbers between the Hero/Evo... and at Best Buy. One trick that the Sr Rep told the Jr rep, is do not activate the EVO.. process the sale first, then, before you do the initial activation, but after Sprint approves the upgrade, swap the phone numbers... effortless with the EVO, but the Hero was rooted/rommed and the new rep had no idea what that meant.. messed up the activation of the Hero. After about 2 hrs of him on the phone with Sprint activations I finally told him, look. I hacked the damn thing, I told you not to worry about it, i'd take care of it, so Tell the Sprint guy "thanks", but I'll straighten it out at home... used the original NAND back up, OTA upgrade to 2.1 and everybodies happy with uber-android touch screens..
