It's definitely worth a try to see what the system might offer. My only concern now is that Verizon might clamp down on discounts, with this being the first step by removing non-dated ones first. Hopefully that is not the case, but we'll see. They just have so much debt, are losing quite a few customers, and need to keep cash flow elevated to pay debts and pay shareholders.

I did this last week because I was thinking about switching to AT&T and I got an email and text about getting a discount. I called a few days ago and they applied it to my account. I’m going to wait and see what happens on September 1st. There’s a rumor that Verizon may offer other kinds of loyalty rewards. We shall see if it’s true.

I spoke with a chat support agent to get my $20 loyalty put back on my account for 12 months. That will give my EIPs time to be paid off in full for promotion "free" phones. And then I will move all the lines to Visible plans so I can keep VZW coverage but lower my bill.

T-Mobile are doing the same things... in fact, they are changing grandfathered plans without permission.

I really like the “Visible Plus” plan right now over at Visible by Verizon. I’m only paying $30 a month for the Plus plan, for the next year, because of a particular promo they had offered me back in January when I was first signing up with them (but normally it’s typically $45/month).

The Visible Plus plan is nearly identical to Verizon’s postpaid: Play More, and Do More plans. They all share & offer the same: Unlimited talk & text, Unlimited Data with 50GB of PREMIUM (Prioritized) LTE/5G Data; After which, in times of extreme network congestion your speeds may—temporarily, be reduced/deprioritized do to network prioritization. Fortunately, all three plans offer 5G (UW) Ultra Wideband access; Note that Data on 5G (UW) is always Unlimited Prioritized data (it does not count towards your monthly 50GB premium data allotment.

Both Verizon plans, and the Visible plans, each support hotspot. Verizon plans typically offer 25-50GB of super fast Premium hotspot data (then after will be reduced to 612Kbps). Visible offers Unlimited hotspot data with no actual data limit amount, but… Visible caps their Hotspot speed to just 5 Mbps—and you are limited to just One device at a given time (so if you have both and iPad and MacBook you want to use both simultaneously… well you can’t/wouldn’t be able to)

Additionally, both carriers offer Apple Watch Cellular support capability (though Visible offers it for a whole lot cheaper at only $5/month). Aside from the very obvious subscription perks you get with Verizon (like Disney Plus + Hulu and ESPN, etc.) the only other major difference I’m aware of between Visible Plus and the Verizon Play More/ Do More plans is the embedded streaming quality of each (The Verizon plans all stream video in 720P—but can go higher (I believe up to 4K but it has to be manually activated in the VZW account itself. Whereas Visible Plus only streams video in 480p (even while on 5G UW), although others have mentioned this can easily be bypassed from just using a VPN alone.

Very ironically; I just checked Visibles website and it appears that starting just today; New customers joining can get the Plus Plan for only $35/month with a guaranteed price lock—indefinitely—or rather until they ultimately decide to change the stated conditions (likely not anytime soon for at least the next year or two and/or perhaps even further into the FAR future; well… that’s my guess at least).

If I’m being honest though, I’m actually wishing I could have that deal instead of the one I currently have (since my $15 off/month deal only runs for 12 months and then my Plus Plan goes back to the standard $45 rate), but anyhow I’m still happy for all the new customers who can take advantage of the current yet awesome deal they’re offering (that doesn’t state any ‘Rate’ expiration date).

Call cs or come to a store and see if you have any loyalty discount offers. That’s really the only way it’ll be lowered other than paying off the phone early

Pay off your phone

Switch to Visible. Verizon refused to help me lower my bill at all and now I'm saving over $100/mo for the exact same service

Nice! I'm getting $100 of my bill of $203 for 3 lines so my bill is $103 after taxes and fees. Discounts: $25 loyalty, 3x $10 line loyalty for 12 months, 3x $15 per line BYOD. Then I have the Verizon Visa and earned $60 in Verizon dollars last month I used toward my bill. I paid $40 for this month's bill for 3 lines.

Of course the BYOD runs out in about 1 more year. The $10 per line is 12 months only but I've gotten that for two years in a row so far. I'm not sure what I'll do after BYOD ends. It depends.

So after everything is said and done. How many lines do you have with Verizon and what do you pay with taxes and fees. What's the bottom line?

Another "savings" is getting a new iPhone 16 for "free" by simply agreeing to stay with Verizon for another three years. I fell for it.

Either way that sounds like a steal. I'm happy with tmobile but I'd leave for that deal

Great stuff! I’ve been a Verizon customer for over a decade, never received a loyalty discount and was just denied one after review a month ago. Be vigilant

You'll probably drop the Netflix perk after you try watching a single show and have to sit through a commercial every 5 minutes (i.e. the Netflix/Max perk is Ad enabled). I signed up for the Max perk to binge a series and they show the same 2-3 ads EVERY SINGLE TIME.

It can make financial sense if you have 3+ lines and are paying for those services anyway.

I actually find Verizon to be cheaper in the long run… the deals promos, Netflix & max, Hulu Apple one ad on I save $40/m just by that. $108 for all that plus phone payment and unlimited plan is way better deal than T-Mobile or AT&T. Plus Verizon’s the only one that works in the middle of no where

You should not be using your credit card if you're paying interest...

I wish I would have done it sooner. Could have saved almost $155 since they released the Netflix bundle.

That can be the autopay discount Vz costumer care rep here. Ask for the loyalty discounts you may have in the account as well.

Doesn't always work-- for example if you have a bunch of lines with a DPP and you are roped in for awhile then Verizon knows they've got you so no loyalty discount will generate

Who said it was new? I was pissed about my bill. Verizon wouldn’t help at all. I got this after making the switch and wanted to pass it along to share the love to others, to hopefully help relieve others going through my situation.

I did as well but 4 lines is $40 bucks a month savings, paired with the $40 autopay and $20 employer discount, saving $100 a month.

I've done it the last 2 years successfully 10$ off per line.

Once you generate the PIN, go to “My Offers”. The option to redeem the $20 /mo discount will be there for each line.

That’s what happened to me when I tried clicking through just to test it before leaving Verizon haha. Admittedly, a better option might come from what I did later to place a call to confirm my phones were unlocked and they did try to have a conversation with me about “finding discounts to stay” so that other be worth calling in about.

Checking that your phones are unlocked for transfer is a pretty low stakes call to customer service since you don’t have to pretend you changed your mind about cancelling service or something if you don’t get the discount, so is probably worth a shot.

I saw that message but I realized I had clicked twice in the app. When I went to look at next month’s estimated bill I saw that the discount was applied.

I wanted to come back and thank the post!! Looks like I am getting $20 off per line in the upcoming bills!

That sounds great. I hope that you continue to have such a great experience with Verizon. $145 per month for four lines and 4 new phones, that is awesome. You may notice issues in populated areas because the welcome plan is de-prioritized data and the data is basic 5G and 4G LTE. It doesn't include 5G UW. But still that is a great plan.

Did you have to trade in any phones to get the new phones?

It’s a deal Verizon has for new customers switching to Verizon right now.

How did you get the activation fees waived????

I know there's a lot of anger hurled towards Verizon, but I've haven't had a major issue at all. The service even works in the employee bathroom when AT&T couldn't get a signal. I also get an employee discount for being on Verizon so that factors in as well.

I switched too I am alot happier

i’m spending exactly the same as tmobile but it works great in nyc where i need it in the train stations.

Just used the chat agent and they waived mine $105 🎉🎉🎉

Businesses are not loyal to people. People shouldn’t be loyal to businesses. They owe you nothing for loyalty. Use whatever carrier is the best for you, and don’t sweat the brand.

it's amusing that every post like that starts with i've been a loyal customer for this and this years. it doesn't matter. if the system doesn't give the option to give you a discount the rep can't generate it out of thin air no matter how long you've been with the company. you want discount contact loyalty dept or president's office and negotiate with them not with 611 rep who probably got the job yesterday and reads off a script company provided. 

Not to change the topic, but I love posts like this bc I’m like… This is Capitalism. This is the economic system so many American vehemently advocate for and want to protect; a system where private companies have to keep growing and making more money year over year. Everything that frustrates you about Verizon can be linked back to Capitalism - price hikes, bad customer service from overseas reps, lack of options to keep customers happy, lack of competition (cuz where you gonna go? You got two options: AT&T or TMobile. Any other company just uses one of the three big company’s towers and has worse service). 

The number of MAGA/Trump 2024-hat-wearing folks who walk into my store and wanna rant about loyalty and price hikes is crazy. Like this is simply the economic system we live in. You want a fair, regulated telecommunications service? “Socialists” believe cell phone service & internet is such a necessity nowadays, it should be an affordable public utility. But nah, we don’t want socialism. Instead we protect capitalism at all costs despite the fact it is eating us alive. 

I fully expect my price to go up. It’s a business.

My complaint was the benefits for “being a loyal member” was two halfassed attempts at an upsale instead of helping answer my question about my bill increase.

Yeah but it doesn’t change the fact that there’s still an oligopoly. Money funnels up to the Big 3 either way really, customers just get cheaper rates in exchange for de-prioritization on the towers.

I really like this comment!

If Verizon’s prices are too high for you, consider switching to another carrier. Don’t take it personally if they can’t lower your bill to what you think it should be—business is business.

I stick with Verizon because they offer the best coverage and meet all my mobility needs as my service provider.

If Google Fi is available in your area, give them a try—they’re affordable.

Thank you for this- I have started a chat and waiting in the que to speak to agent. Says my wait time is over 20 mins lol. But def worth it if it lowers my bill a little.

And to add to that in the my verizon app if you click on create a transfer pin for all your lines magically the next day or 2 youll wake up to a notification that youre eligible for a loyalty discount. Just did it about 3 weeks ago. Any dollar saved is a win in my book. Ill take 10 off per line any day.

Been waiting for one for months finally got it on both lines this week.

Added in app, was showing in next bill estimate within a few minutes.

Also as a person who works with Verizon make sure it's the loyalty number you call. They have a lot of numbers if anyone needs the loyalty number I can give it to you

How much is your home internet now? Which package do you have?

Just to add, if you were to inquire and call CS, don't make their jobs a living hell if the resolution is to have said promotion be targeted for your account.
