iPhone Promotion Expiring Before I Receive Phone?

I placed an order for an iPhone 7 with a new account and phone number (I am coming over from AT&T). I want to trade in my old iPhone 6 to receive the $650 promotional credit. My concern is this promotion will end before I receive my phone (which is Oct. 19). From my understanding, I am to initiate the trade-in after I receive the new phone and access my new Verizon account via phone number (which I don't know yet).

I didn't apprize my iPhone 6 during checkout because it was prompting me to "login" to my Verizon account to get the $650 iPhone 7 Promo. I don't have a Verzion account yet -- so that's the catch 22.

Are my concerns valid? Does anyone know when this promotion ends? I didn't see any expiration dates in the fine print.

Thanks

Happy to clarify the promotion for you ndissim. We certainly don't want you to miss out on this great deal. Great news! As long as you place your order for the iPhone 7 prior to 9/30/16, you will qualify for the promotion. At this time, we will be accepting trade in submissions through the end of the year.

ndissim, the iPhone 7 trade in promotion is great. Let’s clear this up. At this time, we do not have an end date for the trade in promotion. Once you activate the iPhone 7, you will log in My Verizon and submit the trade in. The promotional value will automatically show up.

Thank you.

All promotions must end -- so hopefully Verizon does it long after the back-orders clear. Otherwise it would be a bit unfair to new and existing customers who are waiting for their phones to ship.

Thanks for this info.

However when I looked today on verizon website it says the promotion ends 9/30.

Will I be eligible for promotional trade in as long as I placed my order before 9/30?

Also, they did not appraise my current device when I placed order at the store. They just did it as a new device purchase under payment plan.

Thanks,

Hi,

Can you send me a link to where you saw that 9/30 end date?

This could be conflicting information based on what "ZangY_VZW" told me. If 9/30 is indeed the end date, I will not be able to take advantage of this promo because I won't be activating my new iPhone 7 until mid to late October (based on current shipping estimations).

Thanks

It's in the main page of verizon right now. They added the comment "limited time offer. Ends 9/30" which I did not see until yesterday.

I'm assuming they will take the old device in for promo value as long as the order for the new device was placed before 9/30, but need someone at Verizon to confirm that.

I'm in the same boat...I'm scared because my phone's ship date is mid October, by the time it gets here and I send in my 6, they will be like "oh sorry now you only get $200 for it since the promotion has ended"...and I've been checking my order status several times a day because I've heard they have been randomly cancelling pre orders without a reason!

ndissim

Yes, that would be a very bad start to my new relationship with Verizon.

I'm tempted to go to my local Verizon Store and ask if they can initiate the trade in for my order, but they probably can't help me.

I was told "As long as you bought the phone between the dates(guessing they meant before 9/30). Then your phone will still count for the promo

I finally got a ship confirmation last night with tracking number so fingers crossed it all goes smoothly with the trade in!

I will agree that when I was in the store, any preorder before 9/30/16 will qualify you for the $650 trade in regardless of when the order ships. KEEP YOUR ORDER CONFIRMATION RECEIPT.
