I had a very similar experience this morning albeit with a different result. In the end I was very lucky to reach someone willing to upgrade me to one day shipping free of charge. Here's the convo:
Initial Question: Hi,
I preordered this item in June but with a card that has since been replaced. I updated the card 2 months ago in my Amazon account but didn't know until this morning that the order didn't automatically update.
The order is now going through but my problem is that the expected delivery date is not until Thursday. Is there any way to get it here tomorrow as originally planned? I have been looking forward to playing this game at launch since preordering it.
[b]Megan(Amazon):[/b] Hello, my name is Megan. I'll certainly try to help regarding your concern.
[b]Me: [/b]Ok
[b]Megan(Amazon):[/b] Thank you for your patience. I have upgraded the shipping method on the order to one day shipping. The item is now scheduled to be delivered to you tomorrow.
[b]Me: [/b]Awesome!
[b]Megan(Amazon):[/b] Is there anything else I can help you with today?
[b]Me:[/b] That was all. I now know in the future to update the order after reading about this.
[b]Megan(Amazon):[/b] Thank you for chatting with me on Amazon.com. We look forward to seeing you again soon. When you're ready, please click the end chat link. Enjoy your day!
[b]Me:[/b] Thanks!

Well hot damn. Good for you! Maybe I should give it another try.

It can't hurt. The main difference I see though is that I ordered the standard edition which won't have the demand issue. But it's worth a shot.

I've updated my original post with the transcript of my second call. Not exactly what I had hoped, but at least I got another $5. :>

Another $5 is better than nothing I suppose. 😀
