Verizon Smart Rewards-Don't fall for it, it's just another way for them to....

let other companies view your usage and demographic information. I have over 12,000 points which are virtually useless because all of the offers shown are for what basically amounts to coupons for a percentage off. 30% off Shoes, a Kate Spade bag, regularly $1 billion dollars, save $1 million, Buy a $100 gift card for $90, etc. What kind of Smart Reward is that? To me a smart reward for my YEARS of loyal patronage would be $1 for every point earned redeemable in a gift card like my credit card company does. In my eyes Verizon owes me a $120 gift card for something fabulous. These Smart Rewards are really nothing more than a slap in the face, while you allow another company to steal my info. And how much did they pay YOU for the privilege????

If they send you an email promising "Rewards" and entice you into sharing your private information with a third party to get them then you're darned right you deserve something for free. Especially when they tell you , wow, you have 12K points look at all the free stuff you can get and show you pictures of fabulous items. Bottom line is Verizon sucks but not any more or less than any other big company sucks when it comes to stealing your info and handing it out. I was just ****** because I thought for one small moment that, maybe, they really did value my years of patronage. Learned a valuable lesson and didn't want anyone else to have to feel stupid like I did when I fell for their empty promises.

Is anyone else having trouble registering for Verizon Smart Rewards?

Over the past two days I have been trying to register for Verizon Smart Rewards. I have tried doing so in both Safari and Firefox. I log into my Verizon Account. In notifications section it says I have 24,800 points and click the link to learn more.I click "Register Now" and at this page (My Verizon Online Sign In - Verizon Wireless) I check both boxes "I Agree" and click continue. I then get a message that says Registration Failed! Please try again later! Yesterday I called the Verizon support number and they had the same result. The only advice they had was to keep trying. Is it broken? If so, are they fixing it? If not, is it user error? Getting very frustrated!!!!!!!

It's a crappy program anyways. Have you tried from your cell phone. It works but you can't do the auctions from your cell phone. When I asked customer service about that they didn't have a real answer. And don't worry with only 24,800 points you won't be able to win most auctions and if you do your points will be gone in one auction. It's a bunch of **.

Can I use my Verizon Smart Rewards toward an iPhone 6 upgrade?

Can I use my Verizon Smart Rewards toward an iPhone 6 upgrade?

No. Best you can do is try for auctions on gift cards, or look at the daily deals at 2pm EST for points only cards.

I'm trying to downgrade my icloud storage; however, my MAC book will not upgrade pass 10.6.8 and I don't have my iphone anymore. If there another way for me to do this?

I'm trying to downgrade my icloud storage; however, my MAC book will not upgrade pass 10.6.8 and I don't have my iphone anymore. If there another way for me to do this? I've tried everything I can find online and of course my coverage has expired and can't call the support team.

Hello Lara,
have you already called Apple and explained your current situation, because I don't see a way to downgrade your storage plan with a Mac only running Snow Leopard and without a iOS device running at least iOS 5.
Best regards.

I agree- I apologize if I sounded skeptical and attacking. In no way did I mean it to sound that way.
I completely agree on the software-hardware combo issue- this is why apple killed off 1G and 2G devices- because newer software revisions would never ever run well if at all on such ancient devices. can you imagine running iOS 6 on an iPhone/iPod touch 1G? That would be terrible. Let alone iOS 3 runs terrible on them and now are generally rendered useless due to newer App Store requirements (most require 4.3+ now to allow apple to kill off the older devices). forcing newer software on older hardware (apple, dell, HP,... Anything electronic this definitely applies to) will almost always yield less-than-par results. The other part is apple forcing you to upgrade by means of intentially making things obsolete. all companies do that.
All of this factual info aside, the issue at hand with the 5 is not a software-hardware combo problem- those are most widely seen with the major revisions. then again, this isn't the first time apple has gotten caught up in battery drain snafus (even iOS 5 was plagued with this as well- and now there are some people desperate to roll back but can't). it basically waters it down to the point where keeping the stock software will always yield the best results even though newer versions provide better features- it all depends on whether or not the person deems the added features are worth a performance hit.
PS. I'm still at 100%- and I've been using it periodically throughout the day. your combo worked for you, but didn't for me. And may or may not work for others- As the tech world would say, mileage may vary.
PSS. What model/carrier do you have? Just wondering.

My ipod doesn't turn on and doesn't charge at all.what will i do?can i replace that for free?i just used it for 7 months

my ipod doesn't turn on and doesn't charge at all.what will i do?can i replace that for free?i just used it for 7 months..hope you can help me

See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281. I had the same problem, but solved it by holding down the home button and the on/off button for 10 seconds. If you are lucky, that will work for you as well!

Verizon Smart Rewards Daily Deal Frustration!!

I feel ready to give up on smart rewards. This program has been nothing much frustration and really a slap in the face to loyal customers. I gave up on auctions a long time ago. Impossible to win. So the only thing I've been able to use is the Daily Deal. Most of the time is crap that I could buy cheaper on Amazon.
However, like today, Verizon will offer up a good gift card. I was logged into the service right at the second today's card went live. Click add to cart. And then the website locks up. Finally the screen tells me that sorry we are sold out. So basically daily deals are now like the auctions, it's a race to see who clicks the mouse the fastest? Cmon Verizon, no other company operates that way. Everyone who has points should be given the opportunity to purchase your daily deal instead of having to fight the mouse clicks.

I can't get the Daily Deal at all any more at this point. I made a video (I call it "Verizon Daily Deal Scam" haha) that I am going to upload to YouTube, which shows how the deal is available, but when you click 'Add To Cart', the page just reloads and nothing is actually added to the cart. I had time to click 'Add' at least 10 times, go to the empty cart to show it on the video, and then go back and click some more, all while the item was still available. The video makes it totally obvious that it would be impossible to actually get the offer, since it won't ever go into the cart, so the customer could never actually buy it.
I also had a conversation via email about this with the Verizon Rewards Customer Service (I may be playing it a bit fast and loose with the word Service here). They promised to send "as a courtesy" the card that was offered the day I was complaining about this issue. They never sent the card. I called and spoke with Customer Service for the rewards program. They tell me someone will call me; no one ever does.
This whole program is a huge waste of time. I would also like to comment that I am totally insulted by the actual NAME of the program, or part of it anyway. Did anyone notice that Verizon basically forces you to ALSO sign up for something called Verizon Selects when you sign up to use your points in the rewards program? They tried to write the description in such a way that implies that you are getting something from the program, specifically more targeted marketing. Really it means that you are agreeing to let Verizon track and then sell ALL of your internet browsing, search terms you type, basically everything you do on the internet. Here's the thing, as bad as that is, did anyone but me notice that they actually put the word "Selects" in the name of the program? It's a marketing term. A "Select" is a criterion that you literally select to include or exclude from a list that you buy of people's information in order to market to them. Like for example, I would pay ValPak to put my ad in their envelope, but not ALL of the envelopes they send out. Instead I would "Select" to only be included in envelopes of coupons being mailed to women, ages 25-35, who have children, etc... These criteria are called selects. Naming the program that they sneakily sign you up for "Verizon Selects" is just so super insulting it makes me want to call AT&T.

Somehow or another my iPod deleted my videos and they don't show up in my library. Any way for me to get them back?

So, like I said, my iPod classic deleted my videos and now they aren't in my library. Is there any way for me to get them back or do I just count it as a total loss and move on?

If these videos are no longer in iTunes or on your iPod, you can redownload them if they are originally from the iTunes Store via iCloud. See this article for more information.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, you will have to re-import/re-rip these videos from their original source.

You say moxilla firefox is for people but there is no way for me to contact you... unless I have the latest version which I can't have because I can't afford to

"We're a non-profit organization that believes the Web should be open, accessible, transparent, safe and—most of all—a force for the good of humanity.
... And we depend on support and collaboration from people like you." SO YOU SAY BUT... I had firefox 3.6 working fine. got a message to update... updated and replaced existing firefox with new version and blow me down... NOW it tells me my system can't operate it. Well thanks a million, you caring people... I now have no browser and guess what.... part of the greedy corporate 'upgrading' constantly so that we have to keep on forking out more money for your so-called "free' download. Just who are yopu making the internet accessible to? just the few rich who can afford to continuously up[grade. The old version Firefox 3.6 was working just fine and I want it back. But oh no... I can't have it! and guess what all the other browsers also want upgraded systems.
I thought Firefox was different but it is not! It's just another money grabbing part of the system. If you don't think so then tell me how I can get a firefox browser without having to shell out more money!

In order to downgrade to version 3.6 of Firefox, please follow the steps mentioned here:
[[Install an older version of Firefox#w_i-still-want-to-downgrade-ae-where-can-i-get-the-previous-version|I still want to downgrade — where can I get the previous version?]].
Also see
[[Update Firefox to the latest version#w_how-do-i-configure-update-32optionssf33preferencessf|How do I configure update options/preferences?]] in order to disable the automatic update or follow these step-by-step instructions:
In the Firefox window, click the ''Firefox'' button at the top, then select the Options menu item.
#If no Firefox button is shown, click the Tools menu at the top of the menu bar, then select ''Options''.
#From the Options window, click the ''Advanced'' panel.
#In the Advanced panel, click the ''Update'' tab.
#Under ''Firefox updates'', select ''Never check for updates''.
#Now click the ''OK'' button to apply the changes.

I've lost my key code for my CS2, is there another way to retrieve it?

I moved recently, and I think I may have inadvertently thrown away the case for my photoshop CS2. It had the activation key code on it, and I'm wondering if there is another way to retrieve it?

Even if you do find your CS2 serial number, it won't work. So don't waste your time looking.
Adobe closed down the CS2 activation server a couple of years ago.
See Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
If you already have CS2 installed then uninstall it.
You must now download the non-activation version of CS2 from the link above. Install then enter the new non-activation serial number provided at that link.

Am a new user have an iPad mini and have virgin mobile mifi device for wifi, as this is the only Internet we have but it keeps going out as they are upgrading there system and I have to call at least 3 times a day to reconnect is there another way or other service for wifi that would work instead, I am not good at these devices thank you terrie

Windows 7 Home Basic does not support ad hoc or hosted network functionality (what Connectify and Virtual Router use). At a minimum you would need to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium. Note the Applies to these editions of Windows 7 statement at the right in this article.

Again using a broadband wireless (WiFi) router is the best way to go presuming its in your budget.

Verizon smart rewards question?

So when it comes to these sweepstakes, im looking at scoring a samsung tablet. Once the auction is over it takes a few days for them to draw a winner. My questions is, is that each one says that there are 3 grand price winners, but all the past auctions only list 1 winner? How long does it take for Verizon to draw more winners? If they are only giving one winner a tablet per auction, maybe they should change it from 3 winners to just 1 winner being announced. Can anyone explain this?

This forum is a peer to peer community forum and not a direct link to Customer Service. While there are VZW reps that roam this community, it isn't guaranteed that they will reply to any particular post even if it was marked as an unanswered question.
Most likely they have been occupied with all the Apple posts.

I have two devices that share an icloud but I keep running out of storage. Is there a way I can get a seperate icloud for each device? I'd like to keep the icloud I have now for one device and get another one for the second device but I don

Icloud issues

Two iCloud accounts require two Apple IDs. So, if you want to set up a separate Apple ID for the other device, then you can set up a new iCloud account for that Apple ID. Everything associated with your current Apple ID will only remain with your current Apple ID with the possible exception of your Contacts, which you can keep on the device when you delete the iCloud account from it, and then you can merge them to the new iCloud ID when you sign it on.
All purchases made under the old ID will continue to be owned by the old ID.
Cheers,
