That isn't quite the case. I was able to purchase my Note 7 at 50% of my Note 5 with return of the Note 5, didn't return it as of the hassles in the first 2 weeks with the first recall, held on to it just in case and it turned out to be to my benefit as I reactivated it to use while I wait for the Note 8/S8 Pro non-exploding edition.

Are you sure? I could of sworn even the note 7 was eligible once you hit 50%.
The Note 7 was and, I just checked, my S7 still shows I am eligible once I hit 50%
This is what I was told as well. This, when combined with the Samsung $100 credit makes it worthwhile for me to get a new s7E rather than go with a used phone since I traded in my note 3 and have no backup.
Re: why is Verizon pushing customers so hard to exchange Note 7 for the iPhone 7 Plus?
I am typing this reply from my Replacement Note 7. I love it. I want to keep it but can't. I'm literally sad over it.
I need to fly, and I too, am tired of wondering if it will catch on fire or if it won't. I also want the next Note release and will have to break my contract to get it.
Verizon is loving me. Lots of phones, lots of taxes, and lots of activation charges during this process. I'm contemplating the Pixel XL and LGV20 this month. Not sure which one I want, cause I really don't want either, I want my Samsung Note 7.
Question: S Pen. Does this trap air into the phone? Unique item on this phone?
Fast charging. Is there an issue with that? These phones do run hot when charging have since S3.
Did these 5 people charge their phone differently, Did they start these fires? Did they have an app that matched? Did they live in same environment? What is the common denominator or root cause of these hot smoking phones. Did they get wet? Rain? Did they use the S Pen?
Were they gamers? Their Ages? Business people? Did they try to reboot their phones? Did they try to open them?
5 and recall? Ugh. Just so frustrated.
I have always had Samsung. I don't want to switch. And I'm actually surprised at how I feel about it. Sick to my stomach to switch. Please. Get this fixed, and say we can keep our Note 7s.

Ok so you can't buy the Note 7 anymore....
Yeah, it was eligible when it first came out. Only new Samsung phones for a period after they first come out and new iPhones for a period after they first come out are able to take advantage of this. If you purchased an S7 today, it would not be eligible and you would have to pay it off before you could upgrade. This comes straight from the website, and has also been confirmed by reps in chats. Unless you guys have some plan that doesn't exist anymore (edge plan), then there definitely is no 75% payoff option and no other phones qualify.
Yeah some plans still have it. My line is a 50% line as long as I return the device I purchased on that line at 50%.
Yeah, the edge ones, right? Anyone on the new plans can't do that though. So the average person getting a new phone wouldn't be eligible to do the annual upgrade unless they got an iPhone.
I wish all phones were eligible for this. I would try out some other phones. Oh well.
Is it weird that after fighting at the Verizon store for them to take my phone Saturday, I have yet to receive any kind of refund. I understand Verizon is trying to push the "only refund if you upgrade to a new phone" garbage but this is ridiculous. I've had to do so much fighting to get my money back
Are they just sending it back for you? I know during the first recall they would reluctantly take them but would say until they get to the warehouse, you wouldn't get your refund.
Has anyone in the chicagoland area been able to get verizon corp store to take the phone back in store? I already tried at one place and as soon as i said note 7 they where like you have too wait for box to be sent out. but all per chat with verizon.com i can be returned to store that they were going to document it on my account notes. so i will try a different store today and see what happens.
I think Verizon is doing their best to push people to “upgrade” to get the return of the Note 7 taken care of. Reason being, they had to void all the 2 year contracts for everyone that had a Note 7 on an installment plan. They had no choice but to do this, because it would have been illegal to continue charging someone on a device that has been recalled. So I’m sure Verizon feels like they potentially got screwed out of a bunch of cash because of all this. Nothing prevents these folks from going to competitors now because they are no longer under contract. I’m hearing stories of the people who paid in full not getting their money back until the note is returned. Probably because they paid in full before the recall took effect, so there might be some type of loophole in the law that lets them get away with it. Verizon is probably trying to make it difficult to get a straight refund, so people don't just dump the phone and cut and run, so they’re trying their hardest to get people to get another new phone from them.

This is what I want to know. And they should just send a box to everyone, not AFTER you purchase a new phone. I won't be purchasing one for months.
Totally agree. They are definitely trying to be cryptic in letting people know that they're legally entitled to a refund or having clear instructions how to return it without any type of upgrade/exchange.
I'm having an issue with getting my $200 down payment back if I return or exchange because I bought the phone at Target but did the first recall exchange at Verizon because Target wouldn't. From reading from Verizon's faq it says I should receive my down payment and taxes within 2 billing cycles. It doesn't specify that it matters who I originally payed it to. Before they credited back my first 2 payments my account did reflect that I had payed 21% of the device off.
