2 questions -> does anyone know which Verizon plans qualify? (eg: Welcome Unlimited, or just the Myplan ones)

Also - any guidance on finding which Costcos have Verizon? When I search online and in the Denver area, all I get are TMo and AT&T

A teacher can apply their discount to up to 2 lines. No more.
If we have more than 2 lines, will they give discount for first 2 lines, or there will not be any discount?

Does this promo work with the 5G Play More accounts? Mine is eligible for the regular $830 upgrade credit, but I would rather trade in an older model

For 95% of people, there is no way staying with the 3 major carriers makes better sense than going to a MVNO. For the lucky 5%, you have to have a combination of multiple lines, grandfathered plan, corporate discount, and/or status discount which doesn't work for most people.

MVNO also usually don't have activation fee and monthly tax & fees are included in the advertised price, not in addition to like the 3 major carriers. Those fees add up to $100~150 a year and in 3 years, 1/3 of your $1000 discount is gone.

Of course this is Slickdeals so there will be more of the 5%ers here promoting this deal. But you really need to crunch the numbers to see if it makes sense for you. 3 years is a lot of time for Verizon to make changes to the plan you are signing up for and since the iPhone is locked until you paid it off you won't be jumping carrier anytime soon if fee go up

Is there any downside to upgrading with this promotion through an indirect (Victra @ Costco) versus Verizon corporate?

That's true. If you will have just 1 or 2 lines, it would be expensive. We maintain an account with 10 lines and it comes down to $45 per lines with Disney, Hulu and Espn included. We just need 2 lines. With these additional perks, it comes down to $35 per line which is very much comparable to prepaid service but Verizon has better coverage. For those ppl, it is no brainer to go with 3 years bill credits. Also, no need to keep the same phone for 3 years. By next year, I can trade the same to Apple to get next model and still keep the line with Verizon to get the monthly credit.

Did they offer same deal?
I traded in a iPhone 12 mini they offered $200 same as Verizon when I checked. We are on a senior plan with T-Mobile. Verizon wanted a all in plan that was expensive per month. Also, Costco gave me a $75 gift card each line and no activation fee !!! Plus I pay it off in two years

What is the cheapest Vz plan I can take for this deal? I need 3 lines. I'm currently with Xfinity paying 75$ per month for all three lines (2 lines unlimited for 30$ each and 3rd line is 15$ per gig).

You do NOT pay for the iPhone 15Pro, but if you terminate the contract before 3 years, you pay the remaining balance with no interest added.
You get $250 shop card for NEW lines and $100 shop card for existing line.




ANY PHONE, even if cracked but has to be functional.




Each Costco has a different SINGLE carrier now.
.
So, if we terminate the contract after getting the Costco card, how much do we owe?

(iPhone price - $830) or (iPhone price - Apple Trade-in value)
