I transferred my phone from another carrier to Verizon. Verizon promised a gift card and they sent an email after few months. Here is the email format:
------------

All good, but there are zero instructions or useful links on how to use it. Anyway, Google helped and sent me to this FAQ page:

The #4 FAQ seemed relevant

Yes. You can pay your Verizon mobile bill with a one-time payment from a Verizon Gift Card when you’re using Auto Pay.
Important: You must have a balance due to be able to add a Verizon Gift Card as a bill payment option.
To add the card, in My Verizon through our website or using the My Verizon app:
- Go to your Auto Pay settings in your My Verizon account.
- Choose Manage, then Add Method and choose Gift Card.
- Follow the prompts to add your Verizon Gift Card information and card PIN and then make the bill payment.I’m using Auto Pay for my Verizon mobile bill. Can I use a Verizon Gift Card to pay my bill?

But when I followed above instructions it was a DEAD end. There is no link for "Gift Card". So clearly misleading and time waste. This is what options the FAQ suggested instructions provided (see the attached screen shot):

Auto Pay discount applies to eligible plans only when using a checking account, debit card or the Verizon credit card.
