Resolved Who Wants Free Data from Verizon?

[willmtaylor]

Interesting that you just updated the OP with that information as I was about to post asking if anyone was able to get it working recently. I was able to get it on one line a few weeks ago, but tried another line this past Sunday and so far haven't seen any bonus data show up, so I was wondering what might be going on.

Out of curiosity, where/how did you find out that the bonus data is no longer being provided? On the web site it still seems to mention "Add’l data and/or bill credits will be provided to cover data usage for ads included in NFL video content." in the fine print for the moment.

I talked to a couple of reps. The 1GB was a promo that had been running and expired. It was apparently to enable users to click on ads that took them out of the apps.

Streaming any data from any NFL game via LTE still is never counted against data usage, but the goodwill 1GB has expired.

Too bad. Oh well. Thanks for the heads up originally. Extra data is always a welcome thing. This is the time of the year where they at least sometimes if not often have some sort of bonus offers--got to keep an eye out for those somehow.

Well, out of nowhere, the second line that I used to install and use the NFL app almost two weeks ago suddenly got 1 GB of bonus data today. Not sure what might have triggered it suddenly, although I did delete the NFL app on that phone last night (but I can't quite see how that could/would trigger it).

I also received the 1gb data. My local rep said it's for the data to cover the commercials during the game.
Glad they are offering it!

I just did the 1GB again for this month. I tried on two of our phones, but only got the data for 1. Still, can't complain about a free GB.

Same phone/line as before, or another one? Wondering if the same line can keep on getting it multiple times.

For me, THAT'S the question.

Not sure which phone got the 1GB. It doesn't seemed to be assigned to a specific number.

Via MyVerizon it should show up on one number/line.

I've tried to no avail on my phone/line several times.

However, I downloaded NFL Mobile onto my wife's SE. Within 5 minutes the bonus 1GB shows up on the account.

Must be a one-time thing per line.

So my initial 1 GB bonus on my line ended in the last billing cycle. I decided to try to watch a bit of one game on Sunday using the NFL Mobile app (while on mobile data) and then also watched a bit of Monday night's game as well. A bit later on Monday night I noticed that a new 1 GB bonus appeared for my line (lasting through the next billing cycle).

What?! On the same line? You got it again?

I tried several times to no avail. Got it 1x on my line and 1x on the wife's line.

My billing cycle ends tomorrow, so I might see what happens on Thursday night.

Yeah, I was somewhat surprised as I decided to try it out but didn't really hold out any expectations. The only other thing I did in addition to just watching a bit of the games and commercials over a couple of days is I also uninstalled and re-installed the app (thinking perhaps it might trigger some re-initialization somewhere/somehow), although I'm not sure if that really had any effect or anything.

Just tried it again and was just given 1GB of promo data again. Who knows!

I've been using it pretty much every month or so until this month when it doesn't seem to kick in anymore. I wonder if they actually stopped that particular bonus data "promotion" recently. That said, would be curious to see if anyone might have gotten it recently in March (or if perhaps there are some other known bonuses).

I only used it during the NFL season; had honestly forgotten about it.
