I believe I have a legitimate argument which deserves some validation from Verizon. A while ago, I was reviewing the Verizon upgrade program after the Note 7 recall and noticed that my wife was still eligible for the Samsung upgrade program.* That was when I realized that I wasn't. I then began reviewing the Note 7 recall timeline. I find it peculiar that Verizon stop the program right before the official recall, and then reinstated the program when the S8 came out.
