At both URLs, the same individual reported as follows:
According to the MBTA (and the Globe on January 28), “T officials are encouraging folks to put their February passes on their CharlieCard now to avoid lines. You can do this for any month, beginning on the 15th of the preceding month. There's no need to wait until this Wednesday, the 31st.”
He then goes on how to describe how he did this before the end of January, but then was denied entrance by the faregates. In both ensuing discussions, a number of people reported the opposite experience, and the original poster reported that the next day, his January pass was working fine, so the original incident seems to have been a one-time glitch.
But in summary, you can add the new month's pass before the old one expires.
