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.

edit: I still did trade ins too i should mention
I'm speculating though as I have not seen the promo currently listed on Verizon's website. I do know they have offered $200 to switch in the near past so I'm guessing off those prior offers.
Will the auto unlock if they are abroad? Was planning on gifting these to friends in India, but worried if the unlock will still work automatically if they are not on network.
Phones with swollen batteries are no good?
Any cheap ebay options for trade ins? Only got 2 phones that qualify right now.
Thanks

It gets worse. I have 5 lines on my plan, all grandfathered in under the old plans (they were called 5G, 5G Play More, etc.).
Two of the lines are on the 2nd tier plan while the other three are on the lowest tier.
They don't want anyone on these plans anymore, so at first they added a surcharge to two of lower-tiered lines. Then they added a surcharge to the other three about six months later.
Within the last month, they reduced my autopay/paperless billing discount from $10 to $5 per line each month, so effectively increased my bill $25+ tax a month.
What made this really shady is this:
I finally got fed up with the blackmail, so I inquired about moving my three bottom tier lines to their Unlimited Welcome plan, but when I went to do it, it said I would lose my discount. I have a few discounts on my plan, so I wasn't sure how any would be affected by switching the plan. I called to ask, and the woman said I'd lose the discounts for the phones if I moved (36 monthly bill credits to amortize the cost of the phones). She them proceeded to try and sell me on the next plan up as this would keep the phone discount intact, but the problem is I don't need anything more than the Welcome plans for those three lines.
So I basically told her that you penalized me without any way to rectify it until the phones are paid off (7 months from now).
They do some real shady s*it at this company.
I'm curious about this as well. I think we lose cash back by going through rep
