The danger with this approach is that someone snags the upgrade first (and within 24hrs this would prevent you getting on the waitlist)
2. Force through queued GPUs into R without redeposit - this seems to be 'against the rules' but most agents seem to do it in my experience, presumably because they know that it achieves the same result as (1) without the hassle of them calling the MP desk.
Has anyone succeeded in the T-24.5 call in approach to get a sponsored GPU cleared without the sponsor having to intervene?

It looks like if agent takes approach 2 above, I am good but am screwed if agent chooses to go with approach 1.
