Verizon new early upgrade policy question

[corn4ahead]

Hey, im brad, im new the forum. I have been roaming this site for awhile and finally decided to join. Rigt now I have a lowly env3 and i absolutely hate it.

Now my question is, I am (or was) eligible for an early upgrade on Jan. 18, but now I guess that is no longer policy after the 16th? What do I do?

I really want to wait for the Thunderbolt or Bionic if possible cause i dont think the X or fascinate is going to be to my liking. What are your thoughts?

The discount isn't going away, it's changing.

When you can upgrade, you'll get to pay the advertised sale price (for example $199). You get that price every 20 months.


What IS going away is the additional NE2 credit. This was an extra discount that if you were the primary line (or only line) you got a credit of up to $50 off ON TOP of the advertised sale price. This means $149 for that phone listed above.

You STILL get the $199 price, you just won't get the extra discount.

That being said, IF you qualified for a NE2 discount, you'll get to use it one last time on the 18th if you want because it will be grandfathered in. You have up to 6 months to use this last NE2 credit (you NEVER lose upgrade eligibility), so you can wait for the Bionic if you wish.

When you renew you're contract, it will be just normal upgrade pricing in 20 months.

Menno, can I also use my annual upgrade once more too? I'm due in April and I'd like to get an LTE Android device. Also, can I sign up for a 1 year contract on my annual upgrade?

Thanks, buddy!!

This policy only affects costumers who is getting a new line or phone after the 16th, if you get a phone or upgrade before that, then your still eligible.
