Verizon Up is a fairly new completely credit based loyalty program, where Verizon customers gain credits each month based on their monthly bills. Basically, you earn 1 credit with every $300 you spend on your Verizon Wireless monthly bill. These credits racked up can add up to some amazing rewards – from once-in-a-lifetime experiences (think front row tickets) to offers on brands like Apple Music, Uber, JetBlue, and more. Credit can be redeemed through the My Verizon App. Plus, let’s not forget it’s holiday season and you’ll find some of the best discounts and credits for holiday gifts.
Here are some Pros and Cons of Verizon Up:
Pros:
Earn Credits – you can earn credits through the My Verizon App and credits earned can be claimed as rewards.
Sharing the Rewards – once you receive the credits, you can use them yourself or share with a partner to claim the rewords.
Rewards you can actually use– Even if you’re not in the big leagues in terms of reward status, the rewards are actually pretty useful. For example, some rewards include 20 percent off on at least 10 Uber rides within 30 days, 3 months of HBO Now, or $5 Starbucks gift card (perfect for stocking stuffers).
Super Tickets – Now, if you are in the big leagues, you could be looking at some incredible experiences such as front row seats at concerts, tickets for sporting events and more.
Cons:
Sign Up requires the Verizon Up App – I get it. Why do you have to do more work to get these? You do need to download the My Verizon App to receive your credits and rewards.
Credit Expiration – There is also a 60 day expiration for redeeming your credits.
Personal Info – I’ve heard some complaints about the fact that the Verizon App asks you to share your device information, address, location etc. Believe me, the conspiracy theorist in me is definitely not a fan of having to divulge personal information, but when you think about it, it’s not like Verizon doesn’t already have this information about you. Them and the secret service.

So there you have some pros and cons for the Verizon Up program. Talk to me…have you signed up for this yet? Are you a fan or are there some cons I missed. Share your thoughts below!
Oh I don’t think we have this over here but we do have similar schemes where you can get cashback. I’m not a fan of sharing personal details though!
Seems a great scheme, but 60 days expiration of the credit is actually a con, Atleast there should be 6m-1 year credit expiration. Still the benefits look good here.
The New Verizon Up Rewards Program looks like a good way to give back to customers. I haven’t tried it but I hope I can in the future.
I’ve been using Verizon for more than 8 years now and I didn’t know that they have loyalty program. I love how you can get rewards for gift cards and tickets. That’s so awesome! I need to change that! Thanks for info!
I like the sound of Verizon Up. I have never heard of such a service before.
I wish t-mobile had a loyalty program like this. It must be nice to get perks just because you are a customer.
I’m a Verizon customer but hadn’t heard of their points program before. Probably because our bill is on autopay and I so rarely log into their website. My guess is I have a lot of them that I could use. Thank-you so much, I’m headed over there to see what great deals I’m able to take advantage of! x
I don’t think we have Verizon in my country but it’s nice to know about a new app with some interesting schemes.
Thanks for sharing.

I love reward programs! I’ll have to look into this one for myself and for a few people I know… great idea Verizon!
This is interesting! I hadn’t heard of this reward system before but I am not sure how much data I would want to share so I might do a little research into what they use it for or who they share it with.
I had not heard of this program, I understand how it could be appealing!
This is really great reward program. Rewards are pretty useful, however I don’t like giving personal details as well.
Thanks for penning this down. I’m a Verizon customer but just have t got around to signing up for the rewards yet! This is good to know.
I am a sucker for a good rewards programme. Bring it on I say, savings in abundance.
I’m looking to change providers. I might have to look into Verizon especially now that they have such great incentive programs like this.
I’ve heard great things about Verizon! Breaking down the Pros and Cons for anything always helps with visualizing all the different factors.
In your post, you say that one of the Verizon Up pro’s is that you can Share ” the Rewards – once you receive the credits, you can use them yourself or share with a partner to claim the rewords.”
How can I share/give it to a family member or friend? Please show step by step procedure. Thanks.
