Beware of these offers. These are click baits. Lire you with "free" iPhone but nothing is free. They put you on expensive plan and tie you for 3 years "soft contract". If you terminate connection in between , you pay balance on new phone as your trade in is then taken at face value. For eg iPhone XR actual trade in is $90 say but they compensate your monthly trade in credit to Match new iPhone monthly emi. Terminate and then you end up paying new iPhone cost minus your actual trade in (90$) which you will exhaust in first 3 months btw. Take an unlocked phone on offer better
Bro you have no idea what your talking about

Click on the link OP provided. The cheapest plan option I see is $75 plan

edit: I was looking at Verizon website ... like like Verizon doesn't offer $40 plan when trading in
We have 5 lines. Regressive pricing and a previous unlimited plan. Comparable unlimited plan if I was switching today would be their Ultimate Plus @ $45/mo.

I went to Costco today but was told that I could not get 4 pro max as I was only approved for $3k credit. Surprised as I have never ever in my life told that I could not get a phone of my choice because of credit. My credit score is well above 800. Has anyone been told something similar? I find it hard to believe as this same rep at the kiosk also told me that the trade phones need to be unlocked which Verizon customer service agent told me was not the case. Not sure who to believe.

Just want to add - Verizon Auto Pay Discount uses Debit Card. So if you have cell phone insurance through the Credit card such as Amex - then auto pay discount is not available. Something to keep in mind.

I also completed a transaction at costco and never got a printed receipt and the only emails were from Verizon and did not contain nearly as much details as the documents I was asked to read and sign.
I went back to get a printed receipt and they weren't able to provide one. I asked why I didn't get one to start with, and it's because their printer was broken. They said I should've gotten an e-mail receipt showing the $250 Costco shop card in small print on the right side (like what people have been saying about the print copy) but I showed him the e-mails that came from Verizon and none had it. Doesn't even show up on his tablet when he pulls up my order. My only thought is it's because the iPhone 15 model I picked is backordered for a few weeks and perhaps the e-mail receipt won't come until after it ships.

I created a Google Sheet [google.com]. I use comparable plans: Unlimited Plus, Visible+, and US Mobile. They are comparable because they are all on Verizon's priority network. Visible and Unlimited Welcome are not.
Been on US Mobile for 6 months now. First 100 days free, $25/month from here on out, unlimited data/minutes/text. Verizon 5G is the fastest piggyback network I've used, and I've been on all of them, Sprint, T-Mobile, etc. Traveled from coast to coast 2800 miles a month ago, 4 flights, 4 different airports. Never noticed any slowdown or disruption in any of them. I even get a strong signal in my basement, something T-Mobile/Sprint failed at. I'll probably never change plans, this one is as good as it gets IMO.

My iPhone 15 pro white model is on back order but the email receipt shows a line item for $250 Costco shop card. It showed up immediately on the tablet as they were putting together the order. They should've sent you an email copy of the entire order before you walk out

Interesting point to keep in mind. That's a $20 discount per month for 2 lines - I don't think my Chase Reserve credit card has phone insurance (just extended warranty and damage insurance for 120 days).

I am thinking of trading in iPhone XS and iPhone 6 - any data points on whether these are considered to be eligible for full trade in value?

When are people going to learn that that a bill credit is a garbage deal that locks you in for years. Upfront credit or rebate back or NO DEAL. Must be the same people that pay dealer market adjustments and have a car loan 10 years. Suckers
i have been doing this for last 6 yrs...

I go with att ($25 prepaid 16gb) prepaid plan...and buy the iphone every 3 yrs with apple gift cards(buy from target,amzn, BB when they go on sale during thanksgiving)..that saves $200 aprox for a $1000 phone pro

so 3 yrs prepaid att = $$850, and $850 (iphone prod) = total: $1700 for 3 yrs....and I just sell my old phone for around $400 for sure. ---> final price for 3 yrs with service is $1300 aprox


does this bill credits thing save more than this $1300? ........16gb data is sufficient for me since i work from home

Read my post in this thread. They are eligible if your opening up new lines and no swollen battery damage. I just traded in a iPhone 6 and x for this deal for $1000 each with Unlimited Ultimate plans

To get new phone with 1000 discount, you have to pay 65 per m.
