After reading the recent news posts about the Verizon $100 discount on new 4G phone purchases (http://www.droid-life.com/2011/12/0...0-off-any-4g-smartphone-no-limitations-found/). I anxiously checked my mailbox when I got home. I received the same flyer that was listed in the article, but the front had $30 off any phone printed on it instead of the $100 4G deal. I was wondering if maybe they excluded me from the deal because I don't live in a 4G area so I called my local Verizon store to ask about the discount and if I could get the $100 4G phone rebate instead.
He had heard of the $100 4G discount. According to him you were only eligible for the deal if it was printed on the front of your flyer. He said there were several contributing factors including the length of time you have been a Verizon customer and how long it has been since your last upgrade. I let him know that I had been a Verizon customer for over 10 years and I hadn't had a phone upgrade in over two years. He then asked if I had a family plan, I said no. According to him the $100 4G discount is only available for the primary line on a family plan.
I am frustrated, because that $100 discount would have taken a lot of the sting out of the long wait for the Galaxy Nexus. Much like everyone else my OG Droid is on its death bed (broken power button), so the Nexus can't come soon enough. It would be great to get some verification on this Family Plan requirement so I can decide whether to pursue this with Verizon further. Has anyone received the $100 rebate mailer that is not on a family plan? It would also be nice to know if you live in a 4G area.
TLDR: Local Verizon rep said only the primary line on a Family Plan is eligible for the Verizon $100 new 4G phone discount.
