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.

For those who didn't see that one, this seems like a great deal to me.
I only need 2 lines, but I'm thinking I could do 5 lines just to knock the monthly rate from around $70 down to $40/mo/line. $40/mo x 5 lines - nurse discount = $180/month for 12 months. That's $2160+fees.
Maybe also get $75/line off from a Cashback site plus this $500/line, that's a total of $2875.
Also, you get Disney+, ESPN, Discovery+, etc, for a year.
Isn't this a no brainer for those looking to switch to Verizon? Basically a year or so worth of free Unlimited Verizon?
What am I missing? I guess one or two months may have to be paid before the gift cards come in, right? What other problems are there?

Taxes are about 10-15%
Does the Cashback promo also work with this?
