Switch from 2 year contract to NEXT

[tl01]

Anyone know if the Apple Store can refund the money for my 6 plus I bought today so I can do the NEXT program while I keep the same phone.

I did exactly that. They gave me a new SIM, and manually entered the serial number/IMEI of the returned phone into the new transaction. My upgrade eligibility was reset on the spot (AT&T).
