It seems that everywhere you turn you see another Verizon promo code. For the longest time, people did not trust these "coupons." They seemed a bit fake and with all the spyware, adware, and malware, it seemed a little "too good to be true." After all, with one simple click, you could save hundreds of dollars on Verizon. It did sound a bit iffy, but the codes are valid. Here is the scoop
Verizon Promo Codes are advertising
This first thing you need to know about Verizon codes is the codes are meant for advertising. That is how they got the name promo code. Promotional codes are limited time offers to attract new business.
Verizon has an advertising budget, which uses for Internet ads, TV commercials, billboards, and more. A portion of the advertising budget goes to the codes. Therefore, when you click the code and receive the discount, they consider it a cost of doing business.
Plus, every time you see a code, whether you click or not, it is a mini advertisement. It keeps Verizon in the front of your mind.
The Codes Do Expire
When you are looking for bargains, you need to realize the promo codes are offered for a limited time only. Therefore, when you are looking for broadband service, look around for active codes. Unlike coupons that you cut out of newspapers, there will be no leeway when it comes to the promo codes.
If a promo code says it ends June 30, 2010, then at midnight (the company's time not yours) it will stop working. If you put the code in too late, you will get a message saying "Invalid Code" or "Code Expired." Therefore, when you see a code that offers a deal you want, make sure you use it long before it is set to expire.
What Kind of Savings does Verizon Offer?
All savings are limited time offers. Therefore, it is next to impossible to determine what kind of coupons you will find. Generally, you can find bargains like:
Free wireless router with Internet purchase
$20 Internet for Life
Hundreds off combo purchases like
oPhone + Internet
oInternet + TV
oPhone +Internet + TV
Free DVRs with a commitment of a certain length of time
Who is Eligible?
Verizon offers codes for both residential and business services. You can find a code no matter who you are. All you have to do is meet the requirements of the code you wish to use.
Stack Coupons for More Savings
Not all companies do this and not all Verizon codes do this either however, when shopping around for promotional codes, look for the stackable option. When a promo code says it is stackable, that means you can use it in addition to other codes to save even more money in the long run.
Be careful though when trying to stack coupons. If you accidentally enter a non-stackable code, it will overwrite your savings and only give you the one coupon. Always check your total before checking out to make sure all coupons were entered correctly and you received your complete discount.
