Due to an outage on January 14, Verizon is offering $20 credit redeemable through the myVerizon app. A text will be received when the credit is available.



Details:
Yesterday, we did not meet the standard of excellence you expect and that we expect of ourselves. To help provide some relief to those affected, we will give you a $20 account credit that can be easily redeemed by logging into the myVerizon app. You will receive a text message when the credit is available. On average, this covers multiple days of service. Business customers will be contacted directly about their credits.

This credit isn't meant to make up for what happened. No credit really can. But it's a way of acknowledging your time and showing that this matters to us.

If you're still having trouble connecting, please restart your device (power down and power back on). This is the fastest way to reconnect your phone to the network.

We are sorry for what you experienced and will continue to work hard day and night to provide the outstanding network and service that you expect from Verizon.

Your comment cannot be blank.

As a T-Mobile customer I got a text telling me that T-Mobile service is working fine but Verizon is not. Low key throwing shade.

Lazy post and not a deal
Not a lazy post. But correct that it is not a "deal".
It is a helpful PSA. It has been moved to Consumer Awareness, where it belongs.

Even after many years of having this forum. Many still are not aware of it. Or are newer to SD. Give them a break.

We lobbied for years to get it, so be grateful to SD for having this space, which makes SD no money.

It better be $20 per line and not for whole account
I read somewhere that it is one per account, not phone line.

Log into your account
Go to "Account Overview"
See first pic below where it says "Take action" and there is a #1 there? Click on that and you'll then see the second pic below which show the $20 credit will be applied in the next 1-2 billing cycles.
To note I did do this on my laptop and not the phone app.

Credit showing up on next month's bill already. Should be $20 per line, BUT it's something.

I didn't either, so I called, and I was given a $50 credit for the next bill. The Squeak wheel gets the oilSmilie
It's worth a try. Don't do the chat, call the 800-922-0204 number and good luck
