picked up Droid yesterday, might get X...question

I don't think the rebate gets processed until the 30-day worry free period is over. Buying the phone in a VZW store will cost $299 and you leave with a $100 mail in rebate form. On line eliminates the MIR and they provide free shipping most of the time. BestBuy will reduce the price to $199 which avoids the MIR all together.

In my case since I bought my phone in a Verizon store I wouldn't be able to upgrade to an X online right?

actually its not a lie i had this happen once before where i sent in the rebate and wanted to return the phone and the rep told me i was unable to return the phone
Then, the rep lied to you.
"If you return a wireless device without a UPC on the box, the amount of the refund will be reduced by the amount of any mail?in rebate that was available for the wireless device at the time of purchase. Purchases made by cash or check, credit card or gift card will be refunded by check, credit card or gift card, respectively."

You need to learn to look up information on your own rather than believe "THEY" say.
