$500 Verizon gift card per new line if you switch and bring your own device. Make up to $2500.00

+36 Deal Score

I searched and could not find any other post under Verizon or phones, or Costco, so hopefully it is not a repost.

I was in Costco to switch to Verizon and saw a new deal that just started on the 10/28.
If you switch to Verizon and bring your own device, you are eligible for a gift card between $350 and $500.

The promotion runs from 10/28/21 to 12/31/21.

If you get one of the Premium (Do More, Play More or Get More) Unlimited plans, you get the $500 gift card.
If you get one of the cheaper unlimited plans such as the 55+, Just Kids, etc, then you get the $350 gift card.

Each line you bring over is eligible. I brought 4 lines over so I will be getting $2000 in Verizon gift cards. Max of 5 offers per account ($2500)

Each line/IMEI must be active for 45 days. Afterwards, you can take advantage of any promotions to upgrade to a new phone. This would also allow upgrades during the holiday period of mid December.

You must submit the claim within 30 days.

You will receive the gift card within 8 weeks after submitting the claim.

If you do not want to stay with Verizon, you probably could sell the gift card, unless they somehow link it to the account. It is unclear if you can use the gift card for phones/devices, or just for service.

If you want to stay with Verizon, after the 45 days, you can downgrade to a cheaper plan. With 4 lines, my cost would be $45 plus tax for the Play More Unlimited, and my kids would get the Just Kids for $35 plus tax. Assuming 2 months of the higher plans, and then the cheaper plans after that, we will be getting service for free for over 10 months!

If you like your phone, and are bringing over multiple lines, this is an unbelievable deal.

I did this when I switched to VZW, bought 4 new iPhones on ATT, switched, then used the gift cards VZW sent to pay off ATT, then resold the phones for cash.

I see that there is a 12 month commitment. What I can't find is how long must you have been a non-Verizon member to take advantage of this offer. I switched to T-Mobile about 4 months ago from Verizon. Verizon's terms and conditions are not easy to find.

I did the $450 BYOD Verizon deal earlier this year. (Right before they raised the amount to $650, doh!) It's a pretty sweet deal if you use the gift card to pay monthly bills. But what I do not like is there is no way to track or confirm on the website when your 12 month commitment period has ended. You just sort of have to assume it's 12 months from the date you signed up.

These are Verizon gift cards. You can't use them to pay AT&T, obviously.

man i've been wanting to switch from Tmobile for last 3-4 months now. Their service has been really bad and i get conversation that goes in and out and sometimes no data even though the bar says 5G. Don't let me get started on the the mountains. Literally zero reception for past 5-10yrs. here in CA. However my biggest complaint with Verizon is oversea charge. I was in Asia for 1 month and they were charging me $10 per day just because I had my phone on but never used it. I had to keep it on since it was a business line in case something important came up. I was sharing a verizon line from a friend for about a year. When i came back to the state i had to pay him an extra $200 or so just because i had the verizon phone on.

OP this deal is not new. It's been there for long time. 12 month contract kills the deal. Not as you described making $2500. If you're like their service you probably break even.

Can you use this $500 BYOD promo then get an upgrade promo after 45 days or 8 weeks to receive the gift card, or do you need to wait 12 months?

Wow, how can anyone use Verizon knowing they are getting this badly burned for service? They are offering $500 a line rebate? They are robbing everyone blind and yet people still pay them extorsion prices for their phone service. Wake up people!
