Online Reservation a success

Same here. I chose AT&T but my confirmation email just says GSM. In my case I want to exchange the 64GB 6s Plus that I got on my Next plan with the 128GB that I just reserved. I hope that's possible.
Anyone know if you can do a carrier installment plan, like Verizon? Or are we relegated to the Apple Upgrade Program only for these reservations?
Yea it shouldn't be an issue, they will have to process your return first, then get your eligibility for Next to reset and do it over again. I'm not sure how long it will take but should be fairly quickly for the Next to reset. I've had issues where it didn't reset and I wasn't eligible and it took me nearly 2 weeks to get this resolved. Good luck.
Yes, the reservation system is just a placeholder that reserves the phone for you. When you go to the store, you can definitely choose how you want to pay (i.e financing, etc).
Back home now. I got there around 10:40 and was out the door on my way back at 11:30... there wasn't much of a line when I got there, but it got HUGE as it got later... definitely glad I made it for 11.
The only thing that kinda sucks was people that had 10:30 appointments showed up just past 11 and still bumped to the front of the line, other than that, it went flawlessly. Tax and Applecare+ out the door was $194.
Time to set it up (after making sure there's no obvious issues when I take it out of the box).

I reserved online and did the carrier plan. You can do anything you want, the reservation is purely to secure your phone. They ask you how you want to pay for it once the employee starts the process. You could do the Apple thing, carrier plan or simply pay for the phone in full.

Funny thing was for my store visit, there were a TON of people at the store, but they weren't there for the new phone. A lot of folks were there for support or to buy something else like a watch or iPad. The girl that helped me said it was organized chaos yesterday, I'm glad I went the day after. 
Reserved a 6s rose gold 64gb in Austin, TX. The inventory refreshed around 8am I had a 10am reservation. Was in and out of the Apple Store in about 10 minutes.
Yep! Got my phone right away and had zero problems doing the iPhone Upgrade Program
I reserved a phone at 8:01am this morning. A 64gb 6s plus space gray. Went it for my reservation only to be told they didn't have a phone for me. Either I reserved a phone that wasn't there (glitch in inventory) or it got stolen. I was told the next phone that enters the store is mine. We'll see....
