i.e T-mobile I think credited when the bills are generated.
currently with ATT and the credit is all over the place which is confusing and totally crappy.
When bill credits are applied after device installment has already started Verizon will apply catchup credits. For example the credits don't get approved/applied until the bill with device payment 3 of 36 you will receive bill credits 1 - 3 of 36.

I have 2 att credits applied at the beginning of the month. then 1 mid month then like 2more towards the end of the month instead of it apply all a the same time.

Also for home users, is the unlimited plan discount for BYOD lost in lieu of this promotion, typically on other deals there was like a $15/mo discount on all their unlimited plans. If this holds true you are paying at least $15/mo more per line for your unlimited plan than if you BYOD / didn't buy a phone. $15*36= $540 verizon is charging extra for your service per line. This is not unique to Verizon and folks should really ask how much they'd pay for 3yrs of service if they BYOD to compare the "Real" opportunity cost of upgrading. [Thanks enzoharikari for verifying my assumption]
Also, I lost out on the resale value of my phone. If my trade in is worth < $360 I come out ahead by doing the free phone promotion. But if my phone is worth more than $360 then I might benefit by selling it myself. For me, I'd estimate my phone has a real world value of $200. So $540 + $200 is the amount verizon is getting out of me $740 to switch. In trade they give me a $899-1099 phone. Not a "bad" deal just a complicated one to do the math, on purpose. I save about $160-360 by switching, but absolutely not anywhere near the $900-1100. The costco gift card is another nice bonus.
Also for home users, is the unlimited plan discount for BYOD lost in lieu of this promotion, typically on other deals there was like a $15/mo discount on all their unlimited plans if you BYOD, so if you are getting a free phone via credits you are paying full list on the plan and losing out on the $15mo you'd otherwise get == not really free because the rate plan is essentially jacked up for 36mo's.
They will go through and order the new phone, inform them you will do a payment plan, take the IMEI of your trade-in phone (directly, if it is an active phone on the account, or manually if you have one not on the account) and then you should get a link to open and review before the order is placed.
If you aren't getting the ability to approve anything first, that person doens't know what they're doing.
Once it is approved, they should print out a transaction receipt showing what all was done.
I didn't get any print-out, they just said it'll come by e-mail. I got a few e-mails directly from Verizon.
Did your receipt indicate you'd be getting a $250 or $100 Costco GC?
I'll give you an example...
From the service perspective, if you travel, Verizon is bar-none, the best service provider. Ask any RV-er and most will agree. Verizon provides the best coverage download speeds nationally versus ATT, T-Mobile and their prepaid services.
From the perspective of cost for the hardware, the expected service life of the iPhone 15 (or any recent iphone for that matter) is 5 years (60 months). In my case, I'm trading in a Samsung S20 FE for which I paid $550 (with no trade-in) 3 years ago. The average cost per month is ~$15.
I just upgraded to the iPhone 15 Pro Max (base model). The next cost, after trade-in, is $490. Costco sweetens the deal with a $100 gift certificate so my net cost is $390.
Looking at my cost for the Samsung S20 FE ($550) and the expected life of the iPhone 15 Pro Max (5 years and net cost of $390) my average cost of ownership for my iPhone is expected to be $9.79/month (550+390 / 96 months). I can make it sound even better if I exclude the trade-in amount because then, my average cost of ownership for 5 years will be $6.50 month. I expect in 5 years I'll find a similar deal and my average cost will continue to decrease.
This is the way to approach whether the deal is good for you; coverage/performance and average cost of the hardware for the life of the hardware. But that's must me...who knows for the rest of you. Maybe the other carriers are worth the risk when you need them the most.

Yes, receipt shows $100 gift card.
Thanks for your help.
You'd think Apple and Samsung would want to run this through the Pixel launch but who knows/

Pro max, 256gb, $1200/36 = $33.33
Unlimited plus plan (4 existing lines, 1 new unlimited plus) = $42
iPhone 7 plus trade in credit = $830/36 = $23.05
Costco $250 gc mailed or emailed after a few months. Verizon kiosk in costco printed a receipt with "$250 gc" on it.
Taxes are due upon upgrade. $35 activation was added to monthly bill.
Trade in will be dropped off at Verizon with submission ID when I receive the new one. Old phone needed to be on/online to confirm find my iPhone was logged out to generate submission ID. I recommend "trading in" at the same time (even though the device doesn't get dropped off at Costco) to ensure the credit is applied to the order. The non-promo trade in value is $10 so that'd be a $820 gamble.
Why am I porting in? Family plan is unlikely to change for 3 years. Paying the same monthly without a phone credit did not seem worth it. Verizon unlocks after 60 days so it'll be useful for international esim eventually.
Trade in credit varies with plan: $1000 for ultimate unlimited ($52/mo), $830 for unlimited plus ($42), $415 for unlimited welcome ($27). It is $3.5 a month more for unlimited plus from unlimited welcome since you get $415 more trade but you're paying $15 more for the plan.
Uprgades get $100 from costco instead of $250. Upgrades, however, require iphone 8/se and above to get the same value while new line can take in basically any iPhone.
The my Verizon app can show you an exact value on trade in (and new monthly bill) after going to shop, adding in the new phone first, select monthly payments, and yes on trade in. Do not completely proceed as you will not get the Costco gc. It will save time, however, since you can tell the Costco Verizon agent exactly what plan to build and you'll already know what it should cost ahead of time.
Good luck.
