iPhone X: cracked screen Apple upgrade with Asurion

I spent about 30 minutes on the phone with Apple support and was transferred to a senior apple advisor. The advisor informed me that even though I intend to upgrade the phone soon using the Apple Upgrade Program that I was okay to utilize Asurion to handle my device replacement. He told me that Asurion would log the device they are providing me as a replacement and when the time comes that I perform the device upgrade that there would be no problem upgrading from my replaced iPhone X to whatever the next device will be.

Thank you FoxFifth for trying to help :-)

P.S. On an additional note: AppleCare+ could also handle my request for $129 for express replacement; however, they would also need to put a $1,100 hold on my credit card until they received and examined my current device. Asurion just charges a flat $199 dollars, so at the end of the day Asurion seems like the better deal for my circumstances. Thank you to Apple Support for the help.

I wish there was another authorized repair place that I am aware of. I also cannot afford to be without a phone for 5-10 days for a mail-in repair.

Will it cause an issue with my Apple upgrade if i have the phone replaced through Asurion?
