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.

never mind, i did a couple of chats.....and at first both reps said there is only a 1 time access fee and that's it, after i copy and pasted their line access fee charge from their website they finally succumbed and said yes there is a monthly access fee, minimum $20 per line per month.
I see the site says "$45 Per line per month. Plus taxes & fees." but didn't imagine fees to be $20 per line. Yikes

The best price point is at the 5-line mark, where the Play More plan drops to $40/mo after auto-pay with debit. Also includes Disney+ if you already subscribe to that for additional savings (like T-Mobile with Netflix).

The *really* old plan is actually shared minutes (ex: NW450 -- 450 shared minutes). Then you pay $15/line to share those minutes, but each individual line has their own data (ex: 2GB for +$25)
How long do I need to wait before i can downgrade the line without having the $500/line charged back? Or am I stuck with the $40 line for some amount of time?
Trying to understand the 45 day and 12 month conditions....
