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.

Placed two different orders for Verizon 17pro Max and Walmart cancelled both for unusual activity.
Use the same card and address and all that I use for all orders, not sure what is the issue.
Any work around to get it?
you need to chat with their online support to verify your account, same thing happened to me when buying a clearance TV then it was out of stock by the time I saw it

hi. How much did you pay?
Simplicity plan is $25 a month when signing up in store at Walmart, so you're paying an extra $30 a month. (here verizon is upcharging you at $55 a month) People mentioned verizon won't let you cancel until after the 30th day so effectively paying for 2 months of service.

cancelling within 60 days means you're paying $110 for 2 months of service, $35 for activation fees as well as any additional taxes and surcharges lets say approximately around $160.

in return you get $500 Walmart GC. (Net savings of around $340)

Worth remembering the 36-month bill credits only continue if you stay on the plan, so factor in the carrier lock-in before calling it a $500 discount.

You can review last year's deal for iPhone 16 PM from Walmart as it has a step-by-step description of the process to unlock your ATT phone.
If someone can link to that deal or a specific post in this long thread that has the link, that would be very nice. I cannot find it. Way too many results.

I did run a Google search query about this, and it said they've patched this loophole.

Does the eGift card expire, and can it be added to the Walmart app (some fast food gift cards don't add to their own apps)?

This isn't bill credits. It's a payment plan, which can be paid off early. It will unlock after you do so. i guessed it was bill credits when I first saw the OP as well. Then I read some more comments. You might want to edit your post.

I believe, the worst case scenario is maintainance the service for 60 days, then - unlocking and canceling the service.

This was what I did last year With ATT, you can do:
payoff
esim swap
request unlock
get unlock approval
port out
All can be done within 3 days

Post paid with Verizon is 30 days, maybe the !T&T is 60 days, but I was only curious because so many comments about this e-Sim workaround to unlock with AT&T right away situation as an alternative to having to wait 30 days to paying it off with Verizon. I also wonder why one could or should not pay it off with Verizon on day 2, for instance? Maybe the 30 days is needed to make sure the gift card processes without being canceled? Anyone? OP?

It can be added, and as far as I know, it does not expire. I kept using it for small orders till the 500 was done.
