Guess I lucked out. Went into my local VZW store to browse. A rep greated me and explained to me about the Loyalty Promo of the free 1gb of data. This was after I received an email about my plan (70.00 a month for the 4gb plan) now offered as a loyalty perk for 50.00 a month. My billing cycle started over today. I called back to tell them thanks. Well, to make a long story short, they doubled my data to 8 gigs a month, got the free 1 gb for this billing period, and the free gb on next month. All in all, get 8gb plan for 50.00 a month plus my free gig this month and next. No contract extension or loss of upgrade eligibility. Just passed my first anniversary of being a Verizon customer.
