Trade In to Trade Up Deal

I am beyond confused about this deal. I have called Verizon, I have visited the store looking for answers only to get conflicting answers on what this deal actually entails. So if I may, I would like to ask a few questions.

1. Do I have to pay for the iPhone 6 first? I'm assuming I do. Then how I would I get the iPhone 6 essentially free if I have to wait three weeks for the gift card?

2. Is the gift card for Verizon only? Trading in seems like a waste if I don't get to use the gift card toward my new phone or if I only get to use the $200 at Verizon. I doubt I would ever spend that much at Verizon besides getting a new phone/possible accessories.

3. How does this deal truly work? I order the iPhone 6, send my iPhone 4 in when it gets here, and then get reimbursed...how? My iPhone 4 is in really, really good condition and I am ready to upgrade to a new phone and renew my contract. I just want to know if this deal is really saving me money or if I should just buy the iPhone 6 and just forget about the deal entirely.

Thank you for your time, and I apologize for the attitude in this post. I'm just extremely frustrated.

Hi Verizon Wireless Customer Support,

I purchased the iPhone 6 and submitted my trade in request online (Submission ID [removed]). I got the prepaid shipping materials and sent back my iPhone 4 in the padded envelope at the US post office. My phone was in good shape. It had no cracks and it was working properly. I deleted everything and even wiped it down and made sure there were no finger prints on the phone. The other day, I received a package from Verizon with my iPhone 4 and it is all cracked and broken! There was no letter of explanation or anything. I checked the status of my trade-in-submission online and the status says "Not Received."

Unfortunately, I keep trying to call the trade in contact number [removed] and cannot speak to a live person. Can you please help me.

Many thanks,

Kristina

Hello, krmorales!

I know the importance of ensuring your phone is received promptly.  The process for the Trade-In promotion is a bit delayed due to the overwhelming response for the offer. Checking your Trade In status here: http://bit.ly/GGnDDC is the best way to stay current on the process. As long as you have received a confirmation email that your Trade-In order was submitted, originally,  any additional information throughout the fulfillment process will be sent to that same email address. Your patience is appreciated in this.

poobala,

Help has arrived! Prior to October 15, 2014 did you submit the appraisal info for your trade in on our web page? http://vz.to/1gI0u3A

As long as you appraised the device prior to 10/15/14, the promotional amount will be offered and you have until December 1, 2014 to submit the device.

This trade-in program is a real problem.  I have called the Verizon Wireless Device Recycling Program Customer Support at 877-247-3846 numerous times and the message says, "We are experiencing heavy call volume," and then hangs up on me.  My emails to support@online.trade-in.ezw.com (or support@online.trade-in.zzw.com) have bounced back.  Couldn't figure out if the phone said ezw.com or zzw.com.  Have called Verizon Wireless support directly - twice - and they don't know what to do.  My recommendation:  start calling Verizon Wireless directly and complaining.  The trade-in service is a subcontractor, but Verizon Wireless should make good on their trade-in and trade-up to iPhone 6 promotion.  Verizon Wireless - *611 from phone or 800-922-0204
