Verizon $200 Mastercard GC for military New Line activations 10/18-11/26, stackable with other promos

+17 Deal Score
22,691 Views
I know someone who works at Verizon, they gave me the inside scoop. Not sure if there is an official flyer or page for the promo or some kind of targeted email, but when you enter the code at the redeem website it gives you the fine print.

This works for anyone who is active duty, reservist, or veteran.
Stackable with current promos, for example Verizon's BOGO Pixel 3 and Best Buy $100 GC per phone activation or Target $150 GC per phone activation. So if you got 2 Pixel 3 at Target it would be $800 off a phone, plus 2 $150 Target GC, plus $200 MC GC, total of $1,300 in credits.

Some retailers will help you fill out the rebate website in store. Be nice, ask them kindly.

MUST HAVE Military discount on profile, or set it up (http://vzw.com/military)
Go to http://vzw.com/digitalrebatecenter.
Use promo code WEHONORYOU within 30 days of purchase
Line must be in good standing for 45 days, expect GC within 8 weeks. Only applies to new lines, up to 10 per account.

Has anyone confirmed if this has to be bought through VZW.com for service or if it is applicable to other retailers as well?

VZW.com chat is claiming that 1: has to be a ported number (switch carriers) 2: its for purchases on VZW.com and not other retailers...

Edit: nevermind, actually called them instead. The rep I talked with actually took time and looked into it and said the terms state offer qualifies with authorized indirect activations from retailers. So I had asked if I could activate at Walmart and she said yes it will work.

If I were upgrading two or three phones via Costco or Walmart offer, would transactions need to be in Veterans name. I signed up my father in law who is the veteran but wondering if I need him present or to have him as primary account holder to get discount?

from what I am reading it can't be an upgrade, has to be new lines.

The $200 gc gets mailed to the primary account holders name. Not sure on the discount part, I would think the military person would need to be primary account owner (or authorized)

And it's only for NEW lines, not upgrades. You'd have to get a new number.

Yes its works with ANY retailer. I already did a claim, got mine from Best Buy. The claim will be finished early December, then it's another week or two for gift card shipping.

Stupid question but does any retailer also include Samsung directly?

Update: The terms and amount have been clarified and changed: It's now $150 for new service and $30 for a new line.

Correction follows:

It's worth mentioning that if you have an E B A T E S account you can get an additional $150 or $30 credit by activating the coupon using their web browser plugin on your shopping trip. So combined with the 2-day $400 off from Verizon you could get an S9+ for less than $300.
S9+ $929
$400 2day offer ($22 monthly payment plan) ... $528
$200 Military Offer ... $328

$150/30 credit ... $178/$298

(don't forget the waive30 promo code to waive the $30 activation fee)
