Due to repeated questions in the thread here are additional details.
The $300 Verizon GC offer is tied to purchasing a smartphone online. You are eligible to claim this offer for every order transaction regardless if you are placing an order for 1 phone/line or 10 phones/lines.
The $200 Verizon GC offer folks have been receiving via sales chat/phone is a switch promotion. I am not able to find the terms for this offer but in the past this has been an available offer which requires you to port in from a non Verizon carrier that includes the various Verizon prepaids and MNVOs.
To my knowledge these Verizon GC offers have 12 month service terms or you will be charged back "claw back"
There are currently 2 separate iPhone 16 offers.
- the offer in this post which involves the trade in of any Apple, Google, and Samsung device for $1000 in bill credits with new lines
- no trade in required to receive $1000/$820/$640 in bill credits with new lines for the Ultimate/Plus/Welcome plans respectively
When you add the phone to the cart you must choose the right offer otherwise you will not go through the workflow with the step to add a trade in.
In addition if you enter a non Apple, Google, or Samsung device during the trade in you will receive the actual value of the device, including $0 if its older to be recycled,
AND you'll be defaulted to the non trade in promotion.
This is the reason at checkout some people are seeing $10/month or $5/month because they've selected the Welcome or Plus plan respectively and the non trade in offer has been applied.
There have also been a lot of "can I trade in XXX phone?".
The terms state you can trade in ANY Apple, Google, or Samsung phone in any condition. In my experience the any condition is intentionally meant to covered cracked screens and aesthetic damages. The device should turn on and function well enough that the IMEI can be retrieved and have no swelling/damaged battery (for safe handling reasons). Regarding any phone from the 3 manufacturers the process is constrained by the system and the list of devices/imei in its database. Be reasonable and don't expect extremely obscure or foreign region only devices to come up.
You can determine for yourself if a device qualifies for the $1000 by going through the online order process. You will need to enter the IMEI so you must have the device in hand. If you are not getting the $1000 value then you likely have not selected the right offer when adding the phone to the cart or your device is too obscure. I've attached screenshots of 2 devices that have been inquired about (A03 and 5c) showing the $1000 trade in amount.

They play fuzzy with the wording on their plans as all of their plans begin with the word UNLIMITED!
Yet, is UNLIMITED, really UNLIMITED?
If so, why do they need three different UNLIMITED Plans:
- Unlimited Welcome
- Unlimited Plus
- Unlimited Ultimate
Note, the offers with the FREE phones require you to have their highest cost Unlimited Ultimate Plan - which is MUCH higher in cost per month, whereas most could get by with just Unlimited Welcome. This is where they get YOU - you are forced into a higher cost per month plan - and they'll recoup the cost of the "Free Phone" over those three years!!
These marketing people at the cell phone companies ARE NOT DUMB - they are some of the most smartest marketing people out there!!

The plan qualification for this specific offer includes the lowest cost/tier plan.
Buy the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max device with:
Unlimited Ultimate plan required.
Trade in:
Your old device within 30 days of purchase
For upgrades, phone must be active on account for 60 days prior to trade in.
So I guess that means I can't trade in my old, non-activated iphone 7 in my desk drawer? Has anyone been successful in trading in phones that are not active on these deals if you go to the store?
For the plans, it sounds like only the hotspot data is throttled for the Unlimited Ultimate plan? Does anyone know if data on the phone is truly unlimited with no throttling?
Unlimited Plans for Smartphones
Unlimited Ultimate plan: Unlimited data is restricted to on-device smartphone usage. After exceeding 60 GB/mo of 5G Ultra Wideband, 5G or 4G LTE mobile hotspot data, mobile hotspot data reduced to speeds up to 3 Mbps when on 5G Ultra Wideband and 600 Kbps when on 5G / 4G LTE for the rest of your monthly billing cycle.

For iPhone 16 Pro/Pro Max upgrades any phone (any condition for Apple, Google, and Samsung) trade in nets $1000 bill credits on Ultimate and $830 on Plus. $0 on Welcome.
The phone you trade in does not have to have been active on your account. I've done tens of trade ins over the years both in store and mailed in.
Both Unlimited Ultimate and Unlimited Plus have unthrottled prioritized unlimited data(QCI-8). Welcome does not have access to the faster UWB and is lower priority (QCI-9).
Ultimate has 60Gb unthrottled hotspot data and then it's throttled to 3Mbps when on UWB (both band c and mmwave) and 600Kbps on 5G Nationwide/LTE. Plus has 30Gb.

I guess 16 Pro would become eligible only once 17 is announced.
