“Verizon does its best to offer the lowest prices to its customers.” Not only does Verizon say that, but every other company does. However, every company can’t do so. Sometimes one offers a lower price, whereas in some cases, others might. Verizon also says that it fails to provide the lowest prices to its customers, but this might make its customers wonder whether Verizon does a price match or not. If you are wondering the same thing, you are at the right place. You will find all the answers related to Verizon’s price matching offers here.
Verizon’s Price Matching
Whether you are a fan of Apple, Samsung, or any other mobile phone company, you can get them all at Verizon. However, the availability of different phones from several companies at different places and retailers results in a price difference. This price difference can be minor but can even go up to $100 in some cases. Some third-party retailers do Price Match for their products to tackle this problem. Unfortunately, Verizon does not price match its product with outside retailers.
Even if you find a product at the company’s official outlet at a lower price and go to Verizon with that pricing, they still would not do the price match. Price matching any outside retailer is strictly against Verizon’s Price Match policy. Here outside retailer means any other phone company. So, whatever price you get from any retailer. Whether it is a Verizon competitor like T-Mobile or some other retailer, they would never price match it.
It is not that Verizon does not offer Price Matching at all, but they will only price match when you have bought a product from Verizon. Continue reading the article if you want to know more about their price matching options.
Verizon Price Drop Guarantee
Verizon terms it as a price match, but it is actually a price drop refund. In simple words, if you purchase a phone from Verizon and see that its price drops after a few days. You can get a refund.
For instance, you bought a phone costing you $1000, but after five days its price drops to $800. Then, Verizon will refund you $200 on your preferred payment method.
A couple of things to note here are that this offer expires after 14-days of the purchase. So, if there is a price drop within those 14 days, you can get a refund. Else, your device is not capable of a price drop refund. Secondly, you must make the purchase from a Verizon store or an online purchase.
Getting the Price Match Benefit
If you are lucky enough, the phone you purchased from Verizon happens to go on sale, or its price drops within 14-days. You can get the price drop refund, but how to claim that. Let us have a look at its process. You can follow these steps to claim a rebate from Verizon.
- Step 1: Check the device’s price on Verizon’s website
