That’s weird. Mine shows the full balance I paid. Paid off the remainder of my phone.

I did upgrade and return for mine, so I think it would actually make sense for yours to show the full amount.
Now I just need the USB C charging brick. Debating if I’ll get it from Apple or Verizon. Saw they had one for 9.99. 30W I believe
Fine print does say "qualified Unlimited plan". I couldn't quote you the exact qualified plans but I think it's any of their plans that have 5G. I called last night and updated my current unlimited plan (which was no longer available) to Play More unlimited. Same price per month and actually saves me money because comes with free Hulu and Disney+ which I already pay for. But that may be your issue, not sure if there's a way to call and get it sorted out
That’s probably the issue which is why I’m off that train with Verizon. There’s always a “fine print” promo that you don’t get full information about until after the fact. When it’s time for me to order the 12 Pro Max, I’m buying SIM-free and trading in my 11 Pro Max through Apple or sell it. Immediate credit and I own the phone.

Ordered 256 12Pro in blue at 5 am, had no issues other than that I selected AppleCare+, and VZW didn't add it, or at least didn't charge me for it and it doesn't show on the order. Can always add it later, I did that with my X. Didn't have any problem with the $440 credit.
I already have Beyond Unlimited so I didn't have to change my plan. I may go ahead and upgrade to the Get More as it's ony $5/mo more and San Diego has several UW sites, one in my neighborhood.
And you get the free Hulu, which I'm paying for separately right now. I already have the free Apple Music but don't use it. Already tried and cancelled Disney+ so no issue there.
Order complete email arrived about 5 minutes later.

As long as the information is accurate, it shouldn't. I've always had VZW phones delivered to work vs my billing address.
I was hoping to trade in my wife's XR for the $440, but knew going into this "select unlimited" might not include my FUDP. When I added the device to my cart, the website had a notice saying I'm eligible for the selected promotion. I only saw that one time though then it disappeared.
For the trade in on the XR, Verizon's website offered $227 in instant credit. The website also said, on two different lines I will receive additional promo credit, applied in 1-2 billing cycles. It never indicated an amount for those credits. On my confirmation email, it shows the instant credit and a single line item of promo credit of $4.16/month to apply in 1-2 billing cycles.
I'll just ride it out and see what happens. At the end of the day, I'm not unhappy with $227 instant credit + $4.16/month credit for 24 months, but it sure would be nice if another monthly credit of ~$4.72 shows up at some point. They are never very transparent when it comes to these offers, but saving $440 is worth some amount of hassle in my book.

VZW still offering i12 for launch day delivery and i12Pro for 10/30 delivery. What, is everyone trying to buy through Apple?
Mine did too. However, they didn’t charge me the full tax amount which is very odd. I guess I shall see. These type of things always makes my OCD kick in. Lol
I am a little confused. Why does Verizon say I need to change plans to get the trade in discount but my current plan says I have Unlimited 5g and 4g LTE?
12 Pro 128 - I'm a little conflicted. I can get direct from Apple for $599 after military discount and Xs trade in. Verizon says's $550 credit for new line with trade in but results have been pretty mixed here with how much they actually pay. The $550 is clearly a better deal, I guess I better go to a company store and see...
SO the bricks we use now won't work? I also have a Belkin wireless charger. I didn't use it much as it was hard to get the stupid phone centered on the charger. Half the time I thought it was charging and wasn't. Will that work for the 12pro?
I’m confused as well. When checking out I had to change my plan but the plan it recommended was the same one.
The bricks that previous came with iPhones were usb to lightning. Now there’s no brick and the cable is usb c to lightning. I don’t have a brick laying around. Well, my MacBook charger
Wireless chargers will still work
Ahhhhhh got it. USB c is what I think the google phones use? If so my wife has a couple bricks that would work yes?
Yup you can use the ones from android. I thinking about getting apples brick. $20 and it’s 20W.
I have 2 Xs’ and I got $440 for each. They give more if you are adding a new line.
20W which means it will charge faster? Boy you are a wealth of knowledge! Cheers mate
Everything you have will still work. It won't charge as fast as the USB C Apple is now selling or some of the other after market options. Consider using what you have until you decide it's not fast enough. I have a rapid charger I use for travel but around the house, car or office it's not an issue.
I just bought a 30w Anker one a few weeks ago. It has two ports: USB C (18w) and USB A (12w) and it's $23 at Amazon. I only really use it for travel.
