What percentage of the installment balance must be paid to take advantage of Next Up Anytime promotions?

• A. 33%
• B. 50%
• C. 25%
• D. 75%

Answer: (A)

Next Up Anytime promotions set an eligibility threshold for upgrading early on a financed device. The idea is that you can take advantage of the upgrade option once you’ve paid a portion of the installment balance. The required portion is 33% of the financed device. So, after about one-third of the device price has been paid, you can use the Next Up Anytime upgrade opportunity.

This threshold is lower than some other upgrade schemes, which means you don’t have to wait until half or more of the balance is paid. The other percentages don’t fit the policy because they would either require more of the balance to be paid (like 50% or 75%) or less than the stated threshold (25%), which isn’t what Next Up Anytime uses.
