Deal Details
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 click on the deal and verizon website says....

https://www.verizon.com/bring-you...xOfDB8WXww

"Get $350 or more.
Bring your phone
to any Unlimited plan.
Have a phone you already love? Keep it and get $350 or more when you join Verizon. Online only."

and it has pretty much the same terms as the $500 e-gift card promo. i wonder if this is stackable?​

Depending on how old your phone is, VZW actually has some decent deals on brand new phone. Traded in my iPhone 11pro for the 13pro for free. 2 years contract though.
Thanks! I have an Iphone 8+, wife and daughter have XR's. We are looking to upgrade to 13 Pro's...

No, but apparently the deal that was on last month was different from this month's. I missed that when I first commented.
If Vzn pays for your other early termination fees /devices, don't they want your old phone as a trade in and make you buy their own phone?

Yeah, it was strange that they let us double dip. We got $800/ea credit (toward 13 pro max) for some S9 Samsung phones I found on FB buy sell. Then the $500 prepaid Mastercard per line to pay off our "old" devices from ATT.

What's the catch here? And can I come from visible? We would bring 7 lines, with the plan that is $40 a line, that's $480 a year plus taxes and fees. But we would be getting $500 per line. So essentially free service for a year. What am I missing?

Edit: I do see in fine print it's not available to visible customers but we could port out to another service for a month and then port into Verizon correct?

You much better off going Spectrum Mobile which uses Verizon as it's platform and its 14.99 for 1 gig or 45 unlimited and if you add line your unlimited drops to 29.99. No Contracts and you can bring your own device.

Do not join Verizon. My husband and I joined. Had to call so many times to get the rebate. He got declined because he switched from visible. I got declined because I activated my line in store rather than on line. Now I am still calling them to fix the issue. Do not waste your time on stupid Verizon.

To sweeten the deal, sign up using raku when they have $150 boosted cashback per BYOD line. Another $750 coming that way.

What can I spend this $500 GC on?

A stupid question....... I have an iPhone 13. With Verizon, am I allowed to activate 2 lines on the same device, one on eSIM and another on regular SIM, thus brining over 2 numbers? TIA
