It doesn't show me how to contact them specifically on the Verizon app.

I was having the same issue numerous times on different days with "Payment Not Processed!" message until I closed the Apple News app on iPhone. (This was after ensuring my iOS was up to date.) Once the app was closed, voila, the rewards code was accepted. Issue resolved.

making sure that you can take advantage of the promotions offered is priority. I signed up for the Apple News + trial myself, and am enjoying. Do not worry, we will help you figure out what is going on.  When you are trying to start the free subscription, can you tell us what steps you took? It does require a valid Apple ID/password and even payment method on file. You can still cancel the subscription before billing starts, if you are not satisfied. 

Here is a link to all the details: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209513

Does this information help?

Hello again.

Well, after spending countless hours within the past 2 months chatting with both Verizon and Apple then talking on the phone with them for a combined 2 hours to no avail, I was about ready to give up on this reward until I decided to do a little more research one last time. That's when I came across another thread on here concerning this same issue and someone mentioned if your device does not have the latest iOS14, this promo will not work. It's not just a matter of having the latest update that your phone is compatible with, you actually have to use a device with the latest iOS14 on it. Since I have an old iphone 6, my software will only update to iOS12. Fortunately, I was able to login to my apple account using one of my family member's devices that does have iOS14 and when I clicked the promo in the verizon app, the link finally worked. I then refreshed my account on my phone and was able to finally enjoy this promo. Very thankful for the person who discovered the answer and I hope it helps anyone else who is having this problem. 🙂
