Verizon Gave Me A 15% Discount Monthly

RV_ · February 2, 2016

I did not know they had this, and I did not know which vets active, or retiree, or what. I sent a scan of the front of my Retiree ID card and a few days later I got my discount approved. It Takes effect on my next billing cycle not the one just ended. I have the $45.00 medium plan with 3GB of shared data and $20.00 per line X 2 lines. After all taxes etc. my bill was $94 and change. The military discount turned out to be $20.00! Now for 2 lines and shared 3 GB a month as well as unlimited long distance and texts our monthly bill will be just $74 and change. That is $37 each line total. We did not have any monthly phone fees as we got our phones free when we traded in our older ones, plus $100.00 off our service and start up making the first month and activations for two lines free.

You are right.....every little bit helps! I have been getting this discount for years and you might be surprised the others who will give you a discount if you ask....Lowes and Home Depot just to name a couple (10% each).

Had been getting that 15% for years, then when we stopped going to HI for the winter and got rid of the MIFI that we used on the sailboat and changed our plan our price point dropped down to $24.99 for the 1st phone and we lost the discount because it was below the minimum price point. Well Verizon just let me know that they have now authorized the 15% discount for price points of $24.95 and the discount will show up on my next bill. Our phone bill was only $56.74 without the discounts.

Lots of places give discounts, just ask never hurts. Just this week I purchased an item at West Marine, and she gave me a 20% discount, the largest I have ever had.

Depends on your plan. The Veteran discount on the legacy plans is 15% off of the plan and 12% off of data and 25% off of accessories.

Had a 15% discount for many years while involved in local government... and when I left that, the Veteran discount replaced it. Cell and Data... seems to be a discount applied to most everything.

Thanks guys,

I always used the Homer's and Lowes discounts but never much else. Just reinforces what I always say, if you don't ask, no one can ever say yes! Between cutting cable TV for OTA and that discount we just saved almost a hundred bucks a month!
