Since Verizon Wireless stopped selling unlimited data plans and turned data into a precious commodity usually worth about $10 per gigabyte, the company can afford to give some of it away to their loyal customers.
This holiday season, Verizon Wireless is handing out up to 3GB of wireless data a month, but only to those who ask. As part of Verizon’s Thanksgiving promotion targeting holiday travelers, customers can get a free gigabyte for use immediately and another gigabyte to use next month just by clicking on a link. The offer can only be redeemed once per account on qualifying plans and is shared by all lines on an account.
Users who want even more free data can snag an extra 2GB a month for three months by downloading Verizon’s Go90 online video app (for iOS and Android) and registering for an account. Your confirmed registration will trigger an immediate gift of 2GB of wireless data for your current month’s data plan and an extra 2GB for the next three billing cycles as well. If Go90 proves uninteresting, you can uninstall it and still get free data during the length of the promotion.
This promotion is only good if you have a More Everything or Verizon Plan. It is not available if you use prepaid service, a different grandfathered plan, or do not keep your account in good standing. National and government accounts also do not qualify. Go90 videos are disabled for jailbroken or rooted devices, although you may still register and participate in the promotion if you use such a device.
Among Verizon’s other Thanksgiving promotions customers can grab on Wednesday, Nov. 25:
- A free $5 iTunes Gift card while supplies last;
- An unspecified number of free eBooks, music, movies, TV an app downloads from Amazon.com;
- A free 30-day trial of Pandora One;
- Up to $20 off a Lyft ride, where available;
- Free airport Wi-Fi from Boingo;
- Free 30-minute Gogo Wi-Fi session on select airlines.
Verizon’s website offers an option to send yourself a reminder to participate when the promotions become active next week.
