Confusing rebate requirements for March 2020 BYOD promotion

[iJimmax]

I ported-in 4 new numbers w/ Start Unlimited plan from Sprint on 3/13 & received an order confirmation email. 

In the confirmation, there is a Special promotion note w/ promote code:

===================================

Special promotion:
This device is eligible for a $250.00 Prepaid Card
Redeem here: vzw.com/digitalrebatecenter
Promo code: MARCHBYOD250
Must submit by: 04/12/2020

===================================

However, The rebate requirements are slightly different by comparing  the requirements at Verizon's website & yourdigitalrebatecenter.com.

At Verizon's website, it states (by clicking the tool tip)

"......Visit vzw.com/digitalrebatecenter to redeem your offer. Receive a 250 Prepaid Mastercard® when adding a line with Verizon and using their own BYOD eligible 4G/5G smartphone on an Unlimited Plan between 3/1/20-3/31/20 using promo code MARCHBYOD250. Offer available online only. "

At yourdigitalrebatecenter.com, the Eligibility Requirements for MARCHBYOD250 are:

Eligibility Requirements:

1. BYOD 4G/5G Smartphone
2. New Line Required
3. Port In Required
4. Unlimited Plan Required
5. Consumer Accounts only
6. Valid at participating locations only

I followed Verizon's homepage info & placed my order online, but yourdigitalrebatecenter.com states this promote code is Valid at participating locations only. This is somehow confusing.

Can any Verizon's CSR clarify the eligibility required placing the order order online or at participating locations? Will my order eligible for receiving 4 rebates?

Thank you!

I appreciate the phone call last week, AmberF_VZW.

Comparing with my previous wireless service provider, Verizon provides reliable coverage and fast speeds in my area.

Superb customer service builds superb businesses. I'm glad to join the Verizon family!

Soooo...did you get your $250?

[mad500]

verizon is full of lies.  I was promised $250 in rebate cards for newly purchased phones and $500 for a phone i had and was porting in.  6 weeks later they tell me I'm getting $250 for the phone I am bringing over.  Would never have switched carriers

[mad500]

not confusing, your sales team lies to get business

[mad500]

Clarity.... I am ONLY GETTING  $250 out of the $1000 promised

[mad500]

not confusing.  you constantly change the rules

It is important to have a clear understanding of promotions that are available to you. We understand you have a choice in carriers and are happy to have you as part of the Verizon Wireless Family. Were there multiple devices you brought over to Verizon Wireless? JoshuaC_VZW
