There was no clear way to make reservations for the Upgrade Program, so I just made a reservation for in-store pickup. Am I boned?

Same here. We should be fine. On other threads where people reserved through the program, the confirming email indicates that you can choose to purchase the phone in full or use carrier financing if you change your mind. I don't see why we couldn't choose the program.

Did you order through the App? There was absolutely no clear indication or button haha. I made a reservation to buy in store there, but then found the link on the website like an hour later, lo and behold, my model was and time slot was still available so I made an "official" upgrade reservation. Will have to call tomorrow to cancel the other, but I assume it would still have been fine?

I did the app. I think you'd be fine still. My time slot is gone, so I'm gonna keep my current reservation.

I'm just slightly worried for my wife. She had accidentally made a reservation for in store pickup for a T-Mobile device thinking that was the option to select to get the Upgrade Program, then made a reservation for an AT&T device just in case before I found the online Upgrade Reservation page. Hope she'll be fine, I would feel bad for her :/
 
I got hosed by the ATT site and for some reason there's an IMEI issue when trying to order via Apple. I ended doing a Reserve to buy in store on 9/25 at 8:30a central. Will I be able to buy using ATT Next at that appointment time?
 
Making a regular reservation is the same thing. Not like she already paid for the phone, so she should be able to choose how to pay/sign up for the upgrade plan through Apple.

I bit the bullet and reserved one. 6S Plus 128 ATT in Space Gray. I had planned on skipping the S cycle this time but the upgrade is a lot more significant than I was expecting. I doubt there'll be supply issues. My closest Apple Store had open reservations for every time slot possible.

I got a reservation and confirmation for a 6S+ in Rose Gold for 9/25 at 8:30a. I'm hoping I can use my AT&T upgrade at the time.

I just ended a chat with an Apple rep and she confirmed that my Reserve to buy in store reservation and confirmations means I will indeed be picking up my new phone that day, and I can use my AT&T Next upgrade.
 
I made a reservation for Friday 8:30, also orders at&t. Glad I did, Capital One fraud alerted the charge even though I have thousands of available credit. If I lose my order there, will be in the store on that Friday.
