BYOD eligibility requirements

randil49

Where can I find the eligibility requirements for the $500 BYOD promotion? I can't find full requirements anywhere.

Can I buy a phone from Verizon on 3 year instalment plan and still be eligible for the $500 rebate?

You're very welcome! As long as you've had the same phone IMEI activated on the account for 45 consecutive days & the 45 days have passed you can pay for a different device outright and activate it on your Verizon account. You would need to contact Best Buy for promotional details regarding the promotion they're currently offering.

You can also follow this link, and click on the little 'i' for information, to see specific terms. https://www.verizon.com/bring-your-own-device/

Look for the statement, 'Get a Verizon gift card of up to $500 per line on select 5G Unlimited plans.'

Hi Chance,

thanks for your reply. But the links you gave me do not have information I'm looking for.

"Device must remain active for 45 days. Up to $500 charge back if service canceled w/in 12 mos or eligibility req’s are no longer met."

I want to know what are the eligibility requirements referred to in the above quote from the website.

Specifically, after 45 days of joining Verizon,

i. can I upgrade my device, trade in my current phone to verizon, and pay for the new phone on an installment plan?

ii. can I upgrade my device, trade in my current phone to verizon, and pay for the new phone upfront?

iii. can I do the above options at a different retailer like Best Buy?

We appreciate that clarification, Randil49. This will mean a ew things. The plan must remain on Do More, Play More, or Get More Unlimited plans for the 12 months. If the plan is changed to anything else during the 12 months, you will be charged back. In addition, the line can't be used for another gift card offer during the 12 month time. Changes to the device are allowed after the 45 days. Applying for another future promotion on the same line may not stack. However, since we don't know about future offers at this time, you would want to check in with us at any time you were considering applying for another promotion on the line during that 12 month period. Some offers do not stack, but we would be able to check for stackability before you attempted to apply for the future promotion. I hope this helps to explain. The

Hi Henry,

Thanks for your quick answer. This is the what I am planning to do. Can you please tell me if I can buy a new device this way and still qualify for the $500 BYOD rebate?

I am planning to buy a Samsung phone from BestBuy (pay for it upfront).

1. BestBuy will give me $300 discount for activating the phone on Verizon in store.

2. I will trade in my current phone to Bestbuy and get some credit towards the new phone I will buy.
