um no the plan is called "new every two" my dh just upgraded his phone and they told us ours was $100 because of the amount of our monthly plan. not because he waited 2 years for a new one. he tried at 1 year for a new one but there was no discount at that time and they told him if he could wait another year he would get his $100 credit. so he did and ended up getting his phone for free.
