Verizon Employee Discount?

Hello all! My wife and I are about to grab two Galaxy S3's through a new contract with Verizon (AT&T is a black hole in my area). She works at Kohls and is supposed to get a 20% discount on the monthly bill, 25% off all accessories. Someone online said that she should get a discount on the phones as well. Anybody work for a company who has Verizon Employee Discount and know anything about this?
Much thanks!

I was able to get a 15% discount buy ordering through the corporate partners website.

Through the Verizon site or your company site? That would help out a lot if we could get that discount on the new phones!

I ordered through the link on my company's site. But when I got my wife's iphone we got the same discount on that and we went into the Verizon store for that order so I think it works no matter where you order it.

How did you purchase your note

With Verizon trying to move away from contracts how did you purchase your note 5

I used The Edge but will most likely pay it off sooner than two years. I get a $15.00 discount on every phone on the edge so it isn't all that bad for me.

Paid $800 cash

Bought it through a Comcast promo using Edge to get them, activated 2 lines getting 2 x $200 gift cards, traded in a couple of old smart phones to Verizon, getting 2 x $200 gift cards from Verizon. When I get the gift cards in I will pay off the Note 5 and other filler phone with those gift cards.

Paid 839.00 tax included

Paid $839 through Best Buy. Charging cradle shipped today via USPS. Hopefully Note V ships tomorrow or Monday next week

I purchased from Best Buy with a 10%off coupon. 629.99 for Verizon 32gb

I purchased full price from best buy planning to get the free wireless charger and the $200 trade in on my old phone while keeping my unlimited data. However best buy lied. They said in their ad that I just had to activate the phone, what they meant was I had to activate it on a new contract.
I did get them to price match Verizon tho

I have unlimited data. I am adding a new line and doing the device payment using the Comcast link. I will get $200 visa gift card from Comcast. I will trade in a phone to get the $200 trade in. I may try to port a number for the extra $100. The $40 activation fee was waived. I will suspend and cancel the line. I will end up with $400-$500 in gift cards and account credit. I intend to sell my note 4. Hopefully I should get over $300 for it. In the end it will cost me less then $200.
I still have a couple thousand in account credit from this.

Full price, which I'd typically only do for a developer edition. No regrets thus far.

Could someone tell me what they're paying for a single line with tax? I'm looking to switch to Verizon but I'm thinking they'll kill me on tax. I want to buy the note 5 is why I'm in this forum.

You should mention what state and city you are in. The tax is completely based on location.

I pre-ordered mine from best buy....cheaper and you get the free wireless charger. The process is pretty much the same.

Best Buy also has a deal for $200 trade-in credit for ANY working smartphone.

I traded in my old HTC Thunderbolt best deal ever.
Sent from my SM-N920V

I just got mine with Best Buy today. I'm on a loyalty plan 60 dollars unlimited talk test and 2 GB data. 249 plus tax I would have taken the 200 trade in for the gift card, but giving my Note 2 to my stepdaughter. I did get the wireless charger too the broke the USB cable within two minutes. It got bent as I accidentally tripped and the power bar turned over and actually bent the USB plug. No worries, will just use the USB cable from my charger if I use it.

Awesome, that's almost as good as my trading in a iPhone 3GS. That's why I save these old phones, I have a dozen more 3GS and 4s that I'll trade in when the iPhone 6S comes out.

I purchased the Note 5 on the Edge program and received a $200 Best Buy Gift Card and free wireless charger. I'll pay the phone off as soon as I can and use the $200 gift card on a Sound Bar for my TV.

I just made a boo boo. I bought the note 5 yesterday from best buy and didn't think of taking in my Droid X2 to see if they would give me the $200 gift card. Do you think they'd give it to me if I took it in and traded today?

I'm not sure if it will help but I did the same thing with Verizon. I ordered on the phone and didn't do the trade in but they gave my a $170 gift card and $30 credit on my bill for a S5 I traded in at the store. BestBuy will most likely let you return the phone and repurchase it with the promo. They are good with stuff like that.

I may very well try it but I don't want to return the phone to get it.

Yep, you could cancel the whole thing and do it all over if they wanted to go that route since you're in your 15 trial period.

As long as you're within 14 days of the activation (the carrier return policy that BBY is held to) and the promotion hadn't ended, they should and need to accommodate you on this.

The way I read it when going through the online cart, Best Buy would only give you the $200 device buy-back if you do the monthly installment, i.e. full price. Not true? I used an upgrade to get mine instead of paying the full price/24 mo.

Got my $200 AT&T trade in credit

Hello everybody. Want to share my experience for anybody that pre-ordered their v20 through AT&T and was planning on getting their $200 trade in credit. Just got back from AT&T store and process was pretty simple. I took in a old iphone they checked it out, asked for my v20 imei, then they gave me an instant $200 credit in my bill. They also said I could've used the credit instantly to buy accessories at the store, or wait to get some type of card that I could use later.

I was wondering about that, as I pre ordered also. Is there a list of phones that meet the requirements?

You can go here.
https://tradein.att.com/#/start-a-trade/discover-device-value
Phone needs to be worth at least $5 to qualify for the $200

This is correct. I tried to trade in a ZTE phone but it showed a $0 trade in value and they wouldn't take it.
Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk

so pre orders must go into the store to do this? i had chatted in and they told me i will get a email, still no email here, smh.
also, has anyone searched and found a cheap burner (pre-paid phone) that can be used as a trade in? T-Mobile guys were using a Pixie4 or something, $20 at WalMart but ATT values it as a big ZERO!

You don't have to go in store, but I believe its easier and quicker. You don't need an email to go get credit in store. Just tell them you pre-ordered and are there for the credit. I couldn't find a cheap prepaid phone to turn in. The cheapest I found was a AT&T iphone 4 on eBay for $50, that AT&T valued at $5 trade in credit.

The store I went to said i would HAVE TO USE HALF of the credit in the store. I chatted online and they said I didn't and the store shouldn't be trying to make me.

I don't know if it's the same at every store, but the rep usually gets some form of commission on accessories.
So that would probably explain it.

I agree. The store I went to didn't say anything about having to use half credit at the spot.
Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk

My local AT&T store said I had to use all $200 on accessories in store and seemed shocked that I chose to keep the phone instead of trading it for a bunch of accessories I didn't want or need. Kind of like they always act so shocked that I never want the cheapo tablet offers that will cost me $10 a month for 2 years.

I would definitely go to another store or contact AT&T customer service through the phone. What they told you is not right.

what's a good phone (worth $5 trade in) to buy and use? prefer to pick up some sort of prepaid device, rather than try to meet up with a seller on Craigslist. thanks

Galaxy s3 is worth $10. I'll be trading that instead of my note 3.

Thinking about the Note 8, special offers?

Thinking about getting a Note 8 on AT&T under the next program.
Any deals I should know about? My friend just got one and also got a Samsung watch as part of the deal or maybe he got a credit that paid for one, something like that.
Thanks!

I believe ATT has a BOGO going on right now.

I would check to see if they are still offering the trade in for $300 credit. About a month ago, I was able to take advantage of the BOGO and stack trading 2 older devices for 600 in credits. May be gone but worth asking.

Not true at all. The 300 trade in credit was an AT&T deal. I've never owned a note 7. I traded in a LG k10 and a nexus 6p for 600 total.

I picked up 2 Note7s from traded in an S5 and a Note 4, got 450 for each.

Looks like there is a $400 trade in option on Shop Samsung right now. Only good for 3 days.

I don't have anything to trade in, I don't need two of them.
I was hoping to get in on that $300.00 dollar promo and get a Samsung watch but that ended. I was hoping they might have something coming up for Black Friday other than a Bogo. I'm one person, I don't need two phones LOL

Read the post I just posted, offering $400 for a trade. Just buy an S5 for $150 and trade it in.
