For EXISTING CUSTOMERS Verizon has a "loyalty trade-in promotion" where with any iPhone 4 or newer they'll give you $699. I just completed this with replacing an iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 with 12 pro's. The deal comes in as a credit spread out over whatever term you choose for the new phone, $29cr for 24mo in my case.
I have been hunting for a deal on the new iPhones for a couple months. Was going to do the Walmart $200 off promo, and then found myself calling Verizon Sales for help on the Disney bundle. I politely questioned how this is possible and verified 10 times that I'm keeping my number, and no "new line" funny business. He advised that Verizon Telesales (not customer service) have different/more authority and promotions than available online or in store.
I was still skeptical but searching the internet I found Reddit posts with users having the same experience. And sure enough now I have my $45 charge (12 pro 256gb) and $29 trade in credit on my bill.

- you have to call and do it 100% over the phone. You can't start an order online and then call for help with your order. That's a different department. You need the pure telesales dept.
- a lot of you are correct in that these "loyalty trade in" specials are not advertised anywhere. It's purely for telesales. I agree, this makes no sense, and he also agreed, but it's the way they do it.
- the only factors are "longevity", which idk what they consider long enough, and qualifying trade in of iPhone 4 or newer. Condition matters but he said minor wear still gets full $580/$699.
There's no YMMV here. If you qualify and reach the right dept, you'll get it.
1. You DO NOT have to call to get this offer. I "stumbled" on this offer when I went to upgrade one of the lines on my account.
2. It DOES NOT show up in "My Offers."
3. You will get $579 (?) if your plan is not a "Premium Unlimited" plan.
4. You will get $699 if your plan is a "Premium Unlimited" plan; Play More, Get More, etc. and above.
5. This is a "targeted loyalty" promotion and tentatively offered through 1/14/2021.
6. We upgraded plans this past weekend when upgrading to the iPhone 12 Pro promotion for 1x line.
7. We were able to add a second "Upgrade" iPhone 12 Pro with the $699 promo even after our plan upgrade from this past weekend.
8. Out the door, $700 off $1100 for iPhone 12 Pro with 256 GM via 24 monthly bill credits.
One last thing, search the Reddit thread mentioned in an earlier post for more details. Do not choose any "Promotions," "Offers," or "Trade-In" when "Customizing" your iPhone 12 Pro order. Do the "Trade-In" at the "Complete Your Order" portion and follow the prompts.
Hope this helps, good luck!

I got an iPhone 12 mini 64GB for $5/month x 24 months = $120.
There was a one time $50 upgrade fee I had to pay. But they waived the $40 activation fee.
So iPhone 12 mini for $170.
I had to trade in an old iPhone 4 8GB which I had laying in drawer. The only requirement was it had to turn on. The battery of course was completely discharged laying unused for all these years. Fortunately I still had an old 9-pin charging cable. Good thing as the Verizon store didn't have any of those cables laying around. Took about 15 minutes at the Verizon store to charge the old phone, it turned on, and I got the discount.

Nice deal for those of you that qualify.
