One hypothesis as to why the IUP orders might be getting a disproportionate share of the "bumps" is that their orders processed more quickly as many had pre-approved their credit, and presumably the carriers had already confirmed their eligibility.
That said, I wouldn't be surprised if tomorrow morning a lot of people here see their credit cards charged, and get shipping dates sometime next week. I'll post what happens to my account tomorrow (my card has been charged but the shipping window hasn't changed yet).
I mean if there is transparency about this.. I think we would take it.. It could make more sense they get priority... just don't lie our faces.
And the discrepancy is just atrocious, Like moving from December to this upcoming Monday... ordering 45 mins later..

Why all the hate? Apple promised you a window of 11/17-11/24, and odds are pretty good it will arrive before then. So what if other people got bumped up? If an extra million phones became available from some combination of cancellations and extra production, but they have 3 million pre-orders, not everyone will get bumped up. Treat it like getting bumped up to first/business class at the airport.
Honestly when we all started this it was some good fun, getting to know ppl, and just all seeing if we can help each other out and make some sense of all of this...
I am happy for everyone that got bumped, but what is happening is clearly not fair... and something is clearly broken either in communication or system..
The concern is the bumps are not being distributed fairly... it's clear.. again someone orders 45 mins late vs some like me 6 mins!! they get their phone before me.. common!!
