Verizon Up is Verizon Wireless’s revamped and simplified rewards program. Here’s our review of Verizon Up.
Lots of people today are reporting being able to claim a free Lowe’s $5 gift card now in their Verizon Up app. This is a free offer and does not even use up a credit. Seems like most people are seeing this, but not all.
Others mention seeing Amazon, Gap, AMC or other brands – those offers use up a credit so you’ll have to decide if that’s what you want to use your credit on.
Hat tip to SD
Probably worth mentioning the personal data you’re giving to marketers by using Verizon Up. It’s more intrusive than most. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/08/want-verizon-rewards-just-let-vendors-and-partners-see-your-browsing-history/
Yeah I am a Verizon customer and have stayed away from this one. Though I’m sure I give up ungodly amounts of information to Swagbucks and Dosh and even my credit card companies so not sure why I made a stand here but I just find this program unseemly. Ultimately I am probably just missing out on easy rewards for data they can mine anyways and admittedly would probably join if the rewards were $20 instead of $5.
This is the result of the light touch scam that the FCC chairman of a particular party is pulling on the American people.
Strong regulation would never let this shit fly.
Had Amazon & GAP. Thanks for the reminder, DoC!
I was actually able to claim 2 Lowe’s gift cards without using any credits. I’m assuming it was because I had 2 credits available for me to use, but I’m not sure! Interesting if so.
What to do with lowers gift cards?
Crap, didn’t know I had to enroll in this thing, wasted 3 credit since last August 🙁 No offer for me, I guess because I just enrolled.
Thanks for posting this, I actually saw a $5 Amazon Gift Card option.
Also had a $5 Amazon GC option. Thanks Doc!
