Verizon Loyalty Discount vs Valued Customer Discount: What's the difference, do you qualify?

You may have heard that Verizon has given special discounts to loyal subscribers over the years. Is there any truth to this, and is there really a discount for loyal customers? The answer is a bit complicated, but getting a Verizon Loyalty discount is possible for some. That said, it might not be as good as it sounds. Here’s everything we know.

Verizon Loyalty Discount vs Valued Customer Discount

First, it’s important to note that there are two different discounts offered by Verizon. The Verizon Loyalty Discount is designed for Verizon’s prepaid customers. All prepaid customers who have been around for at least 3 months are eligible for the discount and can sign up for it from within their account settings.

You’ll save $5 a month after three months, and $10 after 9 months. The only catch is you can’t also get the $10/month Autopay discount. In other words, this discount really only matters if you love paper bills — which I suspect is a small minority of those reading this.

The bigger and more important discount is the one for postpaid customers. In the past, Verizon offered its own Verizon Loyalty Discount program for postpaid accounts, though it wasn’t officially offered. This was never a guaranteed thing, though. Usually, it was something Verizon would target at specific customers via an invite, or it would be offered to talk customers into keeping their service.

Earlier this year, Verizon removed the old loyalty discount for postpaid customers, though it eventually added the new Valued Customer Discount after pressure from customers. In some cases, the discounts are even higher than the original, which was typically around $10 per month. Instead, new offers are up to $20 a month, though usually for a clearly defined set of time, like one year.

How do you get the Valued Customer Discount?

There are a few ways you can potentially get a Valued Customer Discount. The methods most likely to generate success include:

• If you initiate a port-out on Verizon, you’ll likely get a loyalty discount offer of at least $10 a month.
• If you call customer service and ask to cancel your service, you’ll get an offer of $10 in most cases as well.
• Some users are being invited to get a $20 off discount for the next 12 months.

Keep in mind that none of these methods are guaranteed to work for you, however. Know of another way to get the discount? Let us know down in the comments.
