Verizon Takes on T-Mobile With Revamped Loyalty Program

Yup... I'm surprised more people haven't combined plans. Myself, my better half and his mom were all each paying about $120, that's $360/month. Now we pay $180 and split it, $60 each. I manage the account and just request money with Venmo each month.
I don't care about Shawn Mendes, but I don't think that word means what you think it means if it's for 2,000 people...
Sounds about right with Verizon.

The TMobile one is just a way to sell ads that target their customers. That said, the “perks” are worth far more to customers who use them than it cost to advertise to them. I don’t use gas for my car, but despite that I have become more aware of where the Shell locations are. So I guess it works. Also, I now know there is another John Wick movie.

sorry, not sure what you mean. why is tmobile one a way to sell ads?.. how is tmobile one different from other plans?..
I think you are being sarcastic/funny, but I will clarity. The TMobile Tuesday is just a way for T Mobile to sell ads that target only their customers.
i'm sorry - i wasn't, just got confused by the word combination "tmobile + one" as that being the t-m's plan. gotcha. yes. so at what point does it start suggesting shell locations(i see the offer for shell in the app)
My point was that I never noticed Shell locations until it started showing up in the T-Mobile Tuesday app. Apparently there is one down the street from where I live, but since I don't buy gas I never paid attention to it.
i see. well as long as they don't start popping up in maps, i'd say it's no biggie.)
Which MVNO did you go with? I’ve been considering moving away from Verizon as well.
PIX Wireless. It’s been a mixed bag. Probably trying out Red Pocket soon. You can’t go directly to Red Pocket from Verizon though.
Plus the family plan on T-Mobile is pretty good. $35 per line for 4 lines is a great deal.
My experience so far. Used a Verizon Up on device update. Said it applied that whopping $5, didn't but marked it used. Used Verizon Up Target gift card....code was invalid so there's another $5 down the drain. Just went out to check what I can throw $5 down the toilet this month and I have 2 credits. Not much around since I live in a very small rural town but found an interesting restaurant. It's closed. Verizon could give me 100 a month and still be safe.
Yeah, I refused to sign up for Verizon's loyalty program for the same reason. Well, besides that most of the perks really didn't interest me. I'm not a big fan of loyalty programs anyway.
If you want my business, keep it simple. Just give me a good deal or give me such tremendous service that I'm willing to pay a premium and not complain.
Verizon is expensive, but they're the only option I'm able to rely on because nobody else has their coverage in the places where I end up. My wife's phone is on T-Mobile and we have an iPad tied to a T-Mobile pay as you go data plan that we'll fire up when we need access to a large chunk of mobile data (assuming we can get T-Mobile coverage there).
Those maps, especially TMo’s, are notoriously...”generous”...or maybe....”optimistic” in regards to actual coverage, but that’s great if it’s working for you.
Yes. If you read the fine print for the rewards program it essentially gives them the right to collect all that data. You HAVE to agree in order to be part of the rewards which seems too fishy for me.
