Verizon offered an iPhone 12 trade-in pre-sale promotion of $440 for your existing phone, divided into a 24-month bill deduction. So, we decided to trade in two of our phones. Both phones qualified for the $440 trade-in. We ordered two iPhone 12s. They both came on the same day. We returned our trade-in phones that afternoon, using two separate return boxes with UPS labels. We tracked the boxes, and they both showed up at the Verizon return office at the same day/time. My phone was examined and approved for the $440 credit within four days. My wife's phone has never been approved/disapproved.
This was six weeks ago. I have chatted/talked with at least six Verizon agents since then. They affirm that the phone was received, based on the UPS documentation. I worked with each agent at least an hour, some longer, attempting to resolve the issue. At least four agents "gave me their word" that the issue had been resolved, that I would see the credit on my next bill. Well, guess what, I still haven't seen the credit. It's now being "investigated" to see what happened to the trade-in phone. If you haven't found it in five weeks, what makes you think you will find it in one more week?
This is really simple. Either give me the $440 credit for the trade-in phone, which was in very good condition, or return my trade-in phone to me. Oh, that's right, you can't return my trade-in phone because you lost it!
It felt good to vent on a community forum. We have been Verizon customers for over twenty-five years. My takeaway from this is that none of the agents that I have talked to/chatted with have very little authority to resolve any issues that a customer has.

I’m having the same issue. Sent my phone to them in November...it’s January 24 and I’m still trying to get my credit. Have you received yours yet?

It is essential that we sort out what is happening with the trade-in, Elmoreac. Since we will need access to non-public details, we have sent you a Private Note to continue.

Same issue. I traded my Note 9 in for a Note 20 Ultra and was to get a $400 trade in promo but now they're saying I'll get $150 and they can't find that promo in their system.

Same here, 3 new phones, one got credited with the trade-in... the other two not even after 3 months and at least 10 calls totaling 15-20 hours. Each time the rep promises that they will have it taken care of... then a week or two goes by... nothing. I call back, explain it all over again... nothing... and so on. While each rep is friendly and understanding, it is inconceivable that no one can actually fix this.

That is a lot of time to spend, bhse26. I'm sorry for the amount of time it's taken and the number of phone calls. I know the importance of needing to have the trade-in credit that you need. We do want to find a fix to this. I'm going to send you a Private Note. Please respond to that note for me. KevinR_VZW
