Did anyone have luck getting the $200 SMARTPHONE recycling credit promo?

I purchased 4 smart phones on Black Friday and was promised by the Verizon store rep that I would receive $200 for every smart phone turned in to the recycle program through a promo code that would be emailed to me in a "few days" but then never received the codes. I have visited the store where I purchased the phones and received more promises but.... so far all I've gotten is the run around and confusion by Verizon. Has anyone made it through the gauntlet to receive the codes?  Bait and switch?

Been on the phone twice over the last two days with the recycle folks but they know nothing about the $200 smart phone turn-in promotion.  They did give me some promo codes that were good to bring the value of the phones I am turning in up to $100 but still not the $200 I was promised at the dealer.  I did finally reach someone at a "no kidding" Verizon owned store (some stores say Verizon on them but are actually just "authorized dealers") who told me that she would personally handle the phone turn ins if I bring the phones in to her.  I'll do that on Monday and post the results afterwards.

  • Did anyone have trouble getting the Upgrade to a 6 Rebate?

    I upgrade my Iphone 4 for the Iphone 6 promotion and as of today have not yet received my Rebate. I had to call again today and the guy told me it would be another 15 days for a response to see if I was even going to receive! Not sure what's going on but I sure could use that rebate to pay my bill.

        Ensuring you receive your mail in rebate is very important Vince-jessie. Congrats on your recent upgrade to the iPhone 6. Did you mail in your rebate? For faster process you may also submit your mail in rebate and check the status online at www.verizonwireless.com/rebates. What was the reason you may not receive your mail in rebate?

  • Did anyone have success applying the invisible shield to their ipad?

    Did anyone have success applying the Invisible Shield to their Ipad?

    Yes.  Make sure any iPad Cover that you have for it is removed first.  Then, start at the bottom where the On/Off button is.  Peel off only a small section of the bottom of the invisible layer and attached the small exposed sticky side to the bottom of the iPad.
    Line it up as best as you can.  Placing the edge of the iPad against a flat surface like a wall or backsplash on a kitchen counter can help you to keep the invisible sheet "square" with the iPad surface.
    Was that a confusing answer?

  • Did anyone have problems with the 2012 4GB Data Promotion?

    I purchased a Droid RAZR on June 4th with the understanding that I would receive the 4GB upgrade on the data plan. Verizon did not and will not honor this promotion because, in their words, I manually activated the phone and the promotion was never applied to the account and there was nothing they could do. Really? Nothing? Even though I attempted activation through the device 3 times to no avail?  I have documentation that I placed the order during the promo and added the promo upgrade on the order. This is totally unacceptable and I am angry & disappointed in Verizon's customer service. I have been a customer with Verizon for 10 years and never experienced anything like this.
    I am curious if anyone else has had issues with Verizon not honoring this promo? Thanks.

    If you have the record of the purchase, and it lists the option to add the "Double Your Data" on it, then I would just go to a Corporate Store and talk to someone there. Did you buy the phone through Verizon Online? Somewhere else?

  • Anyone have luck beating the new image spam with "rules"?

    Has anyone figured out how to write rules that block that very annoying new (dozen-message-per-day) image spam? The kind with "torn" bits that reassemble to defeat my ISP's spam-words filters?
    Personally, I favor the death penalty for the producers, and at least a cane lashing to anyone who replies, but since that's not going to happen in my lifetime, I want to banish this drivel from my box.
    I've tried a few things, but I'm not finding the magic bullet(s). These parasitic missives must have something in common that I can utilize to redirect the junk into electronic Gehenna.
    If there are no solutions in the Mac Mail rules settings, I'll probably make draconian changes in the settings my ISP provides, but that means I'll also be blocking a lot of mail I want.

    Rules for this kind of messages have been suggested in many places, including this forum, and Allan has already provided two examples.
    I personally believe such rules are a bad idea and a waste of time. IMO, the best way to deal with those messages is to just manually mark them as junk. Contrary to what many people think, Mail’s built-in junk filter can learn to recognize those messages as junk; it takes more time that with other types of junk, but it works pretty well. I don’t have any such rules set up in Mail, yet in my case the junk filter correctly marks almost all of them as junk without me having to do anything else.

  • What do I need to do to get the $200 I was supposed to get for my iPhone 4?

    I ordered an iPhone 6 on September 28th. I talked to someone using live chat as I completed the order and the person told me I could receive a $200 gift card for trading my old iPhone 4. I am currently using a prepaid phone since I had just gotten out of my parents' family plan. The person who helped me to complete my order told me that I could simply take the phone to the store and I had up to 15 days after receiving the iPhone 6 to take the iPhone 4 to the store and receive the gift card, that was the reason why I ordered the new phone. I knew about the online trade-in program, but I simply do not trust USPS when mailing phones, and reading the recent forum posts about damaged devices, I'm glad I didn't.
    Yesterday I took the iPhone 4 to the store and they told me they could not give me more than $46 because the promotion date had passed. I told them I ordered before sept. 30 and what the person from live chat told me and they said they couldn't give me any more money and I could simply go and find someone else who would give me more. What kind of service is that?! The phone is like new. I'm always careful with my electronics, I used otter box and lifeproof cases, the phone does show signs of wear but it's in great condition, it has no cracks, the buttons work perfectly, everything is fine. If the person on live chat had told me that I needed to sign up online I would have done it, but after asking her several times she said taking it to the store would be enough and faster.
    I still haven't received the iPhone 6 and it's supposed to ship on Friday, however, if this does not get solved and I don't get the $200, I will simply cancel my order or return the phone as soon as possible. I refuse to be in a 2 year contract with a company that does not even train its employees enough to let them know they shouldn't give false information, especially if it'll cost their clients $200.
    I tried talking to someone from customer service but they keep transferring me, live chat is worse cause the people there say they can't even give me any information regarding my order. I've called the trade-in customer service and it's worse, they keep me in line for over 40 minutes or they ignore my call completely. I haven't been able to talk to anyone and I need answers.

    You only complied with half of the requirements for the trade-in promotion. You    did order your iphone6 before 10/15, but you did not complete the online appraisal before 10/15, when the tradein promotion ended.
    Stores seem to only be accepting the trade-ins when you purchase your phone from them.

  • Can you get just your rear camera lens replaced or do you have to get the entire back screen replaced?

    I recently dropped my phone for the first time, and neither of my screens cracked but my rear camera lens did get scratched badly. I can't use it at all to take picture. It just shows up as a fuzy screen when I open my rear camera. My iPhone isn't even a year old yet. Now, I need to know if I can get just the rear lens replaced or if I have to get the entire back screen replaced? I also need to know if anyone knows how much either of these would cost? Or is it free with the one year warrenty?

    You would have to get the rear glass panel replaced, it is one part. Normal warranty does not cover accidential damage. You can do it yourself for 50$:

  • Has anyone tried to get the customer_id/site_id in ireceivable module?

    Has anyone tried to get the customer_id/site_id in ireceivable module? Please let me know which class to look into to get the cust_account_id and site_id/site_use_id in ireceivable module. We need to control the access in our custom pages based on the user access (at the customer account level or only at the customer site level).

    I saw the set hibernet mode to 0 trick and it failed.  Guess I can try 3 because reinstalling OS X did nothing but cost me another few hours and a little faith in Apple.  Getting annoyed as I see how many people complain of the identical issue and the fixes are variable and random.  Suggests to me that it is a major design flaw in the hardware and Apple got too cute with the just works idea and didn't put a damned power button on the display so there is no manual way to do it and no 'insert a pin here' type trick to reset the thing.
    Asking for a refund tomorrow.  Past the 14 days so maybe they'll say no but if so then every time this happens I will swap it out.  At least then I know it is a three hour fix and as I was working on this for hours today it occurred to me that if the trick is to do 57 different things and maybe one will work then that is not why I made the switch to Apple.  I could plug everything in on my PC and it all 'just worked'.
    Really poor customer service - the support folks are very nice and I am sure they know that this is a systemic issue but aren't allowed to say so.  Feeling pretty stupid for going on faith right about now.

  • I want to hand on my water damaged and not working iPhone are the notes that were on the handset accessible to anyone who can get the handset working again?

    I want to hand on my water damaged and not working iPhone are the notes that were on the handset accessible to anyone who can get the handset working again?

    It's possible, I suppose.   Unlikely, but possible.   Someone would have to be extremely driven to fix your broken phone specifically to look at your notes though.

    Don't confuse the threads here with 'typical' experience.  Most of the stuff here is from brand new users, and those that have problems, and considering the 30 million pads in use, represent a very small sliver.
    If you are having repeated crashes it is really pretty basic.  You either have a physical problem with your pad, or you are using too much memory.
    The iOS system is supposed to monitor memory, and shut down previously used apps automatically to free up memory for what you are doing now.  That part of ios is not perfect, and if an app introduces an unexpected memory load, sometimes it gets over whelmed.  
    This happens, more often than not, when using safari with multiple windows open on graphic intense sites.  It can also happen with a memory intensive game, and residual apps in the background.
    Double  tap the home key and take a peek at the recently used list, and shut them down completely, and often the problem goes away.
    If the problem persists, you may have a software issue, and a trip to the genius bar may be in order.
