If I paid the $20k commercial price, would I be guaranteed a slot on a rocket? And do paying CubeSat customers bump off those that were given free tickets? Is anyone else offering reliable, commercial CubeSat launches for that price (or less)?

Sadly no.

The phonesats waited in a box for more than a year in order to find room.
