Whats the difference between the $300 Trade-in with the promo code I got in my email and the $300 Trade in offer running on the VZW site?

I recently got an email from VZW with this message and a promo code:

    

We hope you're enjoying your new 4G LTE Smartphone. Did you know you might be eligible to get either a Verizon Wireless Virtual Gift Card or Account Credit worth a minimum of $300 when you trade in your old smartphone? It's true!

Simply appraise your old smartphone, verify it is in good condition and be sure to use the promo code from this email to redeem your exclusive offer.*

I was wondering how this is any different from the offer running on the corporate site?

There are always tons of promotions going on during the holidays, that sometimes it's hard to keep them all straight. But, that may be a good thing! I am here to shed some light on the $300 trade in promotion. The email that you received is the same promotion that is being run on our website. If you trade in a 4G LTE smartphone (in good working condition) and open a new line of service, you will receive a $300.00 VZ Giftcard or account credit.
