My upgrade is 12/14/2010, but I am still not eligible for a two year upgrade.

I think you mis-typed. Your upgrade is up in 2012? If you signed a two-year contract, that means you didn't sign up until this Decemer. Are you from the future, or am I just confused? 
I hope you made a mistake. If not then how do u expect to be eligible for an upgrade if it's 2 years away?
Did you just buy a phone? I'm sorry, maybe I'm misunderstanding, but if your upgrade date is in 2012 then AT&T isn't going to move you up so that you can buy an iPhone at the upgrade price.
Did you mean 12/14/2010? I'm sure your eligibility isn't 2.5 years away from now.
Yes I mean 2010. Sorry

Sorry, I meant 2010
Your only bet with this is by AT&T. I know that you said they were useless, but we can't help you.
OK, I will bite.
When did you purchase your current phone and is it an iPhone?
What type of phone plan are you on (individual or group)?
If it is a group plan is your line the primary line?

It honestly does not really matter as even if the poster is eligible, we can't change her date. Only AT&T would be able to do this. My advice is to call or go to a different AT&T store.
Call Steve on his phone, he said AT&T told him everyone who's contract expires in 2010 including up to 12-31-2010 at 11:59 PM will be eligible for an upgrade, he even stated 6 months early.
I purchased my Blackberry Bold in February 2009, I'm on a family plan and I'm on an added line
Sorry, but that is not correct. If you contract is ending in 2010, then you are most likely are and have been eligible for an upgrade. It is for all who are eligible.
Next time you plan to make remarks, please write the correct information.

First off I'm a guy, and second I contacted ATT and they had no clue to whether I was supposed to be eligible or not. Also the next closest ATT store is almost 50 miles from where I live.
They are moving up eligibility only for those with iPhones. Since you have a BB your date has not changed. I suppose you could ask ATT to move it up anyway but no guarantees.
I am sorry, I was doing something else besides typing. I usually do not make that mistake, but no need to attack me.
I am just saying that if they can't help you, neither can we. Why am I getting an attitude when I am speaking the truth. We can tell you that you may or may not be actually eligible, but what would that do?
OK, we can't help you change the date but we can explain the "why" part.
Since you are not currently an iPhone customer who would be eligible for a what is called a standard equipment upgrade by 12/31/2010, you will not benefit from the offer that Apple and AT&T offered this year.
Here is the link to the Youtube link where a very credible source (Seth) explains the iPhone Upgrade Eligiblity Offer

They should have been able to tell this to the poster. They were just probably not going to help you since they would not be making a sale off of you?
Well say I were to get my moms iPhone and call ATT and tell them that I am now using an iPhone would I get the upgrade then
Its says "A full discount on a standard handset or iPhone upgrade is not available at this time but you may qualify on 12/14/2010. We can offer you a discounted iPhone upgrade at a higher price with a 2-year commitment and an 18$ upgrade fee."
yup, you get early upgrade pricing. Not getting full upgrade price at this time...sorry.
