This Walmart carrier-financing deal pairs the iPhone 17 Pro or Pro Max with a $500 Walmart eGift card, and the strongest appeal is low net cost for shoppers who can use Walmart or Sam's Club credit. The phone can be financed through Verizon or AT&T, with some in-store purchases getting the gift card immediately and online orders receiving it later by email. The main catches are carrier lock-in, possible order cancellations, and plan restrictions such as Verizon Simplicity not working. Unlock timing and payoff rules vary by carrier and account, so the deal works best for buyers comfortable managing the financing details.

Common Questions (5)

  • The phone can be unlocked after the financing balance is paid in full. Some users report it arriving unlocked or unlocking shortly after payoff, while others note Verizon may keep it locked until the balance is cleared and the system updates.

  • No, the Walmart eGift card is for future Walmart or Sam's Club purchases, not for paying Verizon's device balance. It is typically emailed later after activation or shipment, and it can be spent on Walmart purchases instead.

  • You can finance it through Verizon, pay sales tax at checkout, and then pay the device off online or over the phone before the next billing cycle. Some purchases still cannot be canceled or paid off until the account has been active long enough, so the practical path is to wait for the first bill or use the carrier account once it posts.

  • No, the deal does not work with Verizon's Simplicity plan. Some shoppers were able to place orders on other Verizon plans, but Simplicity was specifically reported as failing or canceling.

  • Yes, upgrading through Walmart can keep an existing Verizon legacy plan, including older plans with bundled perks like Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+. That makes the deal attractive if you want the new phone without changing your current plan.

I am also getting the unavailable error. Probably not setup correctly on Walmart's backend yet. Try again later.

How much was the effective cost at checkout? Was the $500 gift card deducted/adjusted immediately after payment, or is it provided separately after the purchase?

You have to finance it through Verizon. You pay the sales tax (depending on where live) during checkout. Then on your first bill, you will see the first installment. You can also pay the entire amount off.

The egift card to emailed to you at a later date. I did it this deal last year with the 15 pro max. It took about 3 weeks before I got the gift card. I am assuming it will also be around that timeline this year.

So, the gift card can't be used to pay off the remaining device balance, right?

Local Walmart phone guy told me about this same deal last year. Works for att Verizon or tmo. It's not a prepaid deal it's something called postpaid? It's runs your credit if it's a new account. For in store you get the gift card instantly. This is a freakin steal of a deal!

Looks like they fixed it. I was able to order a Verizon iPhone 17 Pro.

I did see that the gift card is sent to you instantly when you make the purchase and activate in-store. But I don't mind waiting a few weeks for the gift card if I can save a trip to Walmart.

Has your order been confirmed? Also, how much was the effective cost at checkout?

Yes, I got a confirmation email. I paid $111.17 in taxes and fees (California charges tax based on the full retail price plus a recycling fee).

If you're planning to open a new line, do y'all remember whether VZW or AT&T does a soft pull for new accounts?

I think it is a soft check. I opened up couple new lines few months ago. When my credit was ran, I didn't get any notification from my credit monitoring services.

Keep in mind. If you upgrade through Walmart as least for Verizon, you can keep your existing plan. I am on an old legacy plan that gives me free Disney+ , Hulu, and ESPN+. I am holding onto this plan until they pry it out of my hands lol.

Can someone explain the process from beginning to end on how you purchase one of these, then proceed to pay it off and leave it unlocked?

I want to get one and move to an MVNO that uses AT&T in my area. I'm currently on T-Mobile, but the service here stinks. I'm hearing AT&T is good in my area, and I'm happy with trying an MVNO like Consumer Cellular or Red Pocket.

But - I want a new device. What steps do I take to make this deal work for me?
