Why does Verizon try to force me to agree to Verizon Selects in order to sign up for Verizon Rewards?

When I try to claim my points, it won't move forward until I agree to Verizon Selects, to which I will never, ever agree. How do you get your points without giving up any semblance of privacy?

Because that's how it works. No such thing as a free lunch. If you don't agree you don't get your points.

  • Why does adobe try to force Google Chrome on to my computer and a Google Toolbar! Thats is fasist!

    also why does adobe require so many updates! why can't they get it right the first five hundred time i update it!
    why cant i update or down load with out having to get google tool bar to be spyied on? WTF? And Google Chrome if i wanted Google Chrome i down load it directly!
    Google collecting and storing information is an invasion of privacy! If Adobe is so free thinking and so advanced, ask if we want ******** toolbars downloaded it sucks when you think your down loading something and get a new webpage and toolbars. Dont do business this way. Its arrogant & ignorant

    Adobe never installed anything on my computer I didn't want.  You can always uncheck bundled software that is offered with the standard downloads, or use the offline installers that are not bundled with any 3rd party software.

  • Why does Verizon charge me $30 to buy a new phone and renew my two year plan?

    Why does Verizon charge me $30 to buy a new phone and renew my two year plan?  That seems counter-intelligent in a day where other carriers are begging for my business. I've been a customer for 10 years but am considering switching on principle.

    I'm sending my bill in exchange for a provided service. The activation fee is garbage, and IMO, if smaller carriers can live without it (because they are), Verizon doesn't need to charge it. Frankly, I'm tired of people settling because "The fee isn't going away." If you agree with it, so be it, but you're the minority.
    You are correct, just because other people do it, doesn't make it right. It also "doesn't make it wrong".
    Verizon has chosen a price they charge for providing a service. Part of that price is an "upgrade" fee if you choose to purchase a phone at a ~$400 discount. ALL this is doing is lowering the amount of discount on the phone. It is, however, the price Verizon has set to provide their service. You are paying it in exchange for that provided service. You may not agree with it, that is your choice and are free to go elsewhere. If you are in the position to pay this "upgrade" fee, you are NOT under contract and are free to change without penalty. Your choice. If you pay it, you have made your choice.
    Yes, other "smaller carriers" can live without it because they are forced to, not because they "want" to or because it is "right". They have to have some sort of incentive to attract customers. The bigger carriers do this by providing a larger footprint for their service. Smaller carriers cannot do so and have to resort to other methods. Lower price is one of those. There are trade-offs in life. Choose your trade-offs. I prefer to pay a slightly higher price for more reliable service. I have been with several providers in the past, Verizon provides me the most reliable service of those I have tried.

  • Why does Verizon not provide 3G coverage in Western Maryland (Garrett County) and why does it not have an agreement with US Cellular for such coverage?

    Why does Verizon not provide 3G coverage in Western Maryland (Garrett County) and why does it not have an agreement with US Cellular for such coverage?

        Thanks for the zip code pfekete. I looked into the coverage in your area and I do see you are in an extended 1X data coverage which explains why you're not connecting to 3G. What phone do you have? We may be able to advise you on how to adjust the settings so it picks up the strongest signal. I apologize for the inconvenience.

  • Why does Verizon not support Windows 8 for wi fi?

    Why does Verizon not support Windows 8 for wi fi?  Are they planning on supporting Windows 8?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Verizon wi fi for hot spots does not work with Windows 8.  For verification go to FAQs about Verizon Wi-Fi for FiOS Internet, 
    http://www.verizon.com/Support/Residential/Internet/fiosinternet/networking/setup/wi-fi/124650.htm , and click on How do I know if my laptop or netbook is compatible with Verizon Wi-Fi? .  Verizon wireless home network does work well with Windows 8.
    Since you can't even download the wi fi for hot spots software if you have Windows 8, I don't know how to use compatability mode to get around the problem,

    why does the menu option change to "save as" after I select the print button?

    >>The print command is selected in the File pull down menu, the print menu page pops up, I can then select my networked printer (which incidentally is confirmed to work with other software), the print command is in the bottom right hand corner and finally after depressing this print button a "save as" pop-up menu appears and then it only re-saves the file. Is this an issue with the pdf reader install?

    Why does my RAW image look grainy when I export it in to Photoshop CC from Lightroom for editing?
    Checked LR's setting for Ps export and they haven't changed since it was OK a few days ago? It is OK if you zoom in but in 'fit page' it looks terrible!

    I have exactly the same problem and it has got worse today as the photos also now open in smaller windows for some reason

  • Why does camera roll take up all my storage data and how do i get it free for space

    why does camera roll take up all my storage data and how do i get it free for space

    You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on any iOS devices that you have  by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (Settings > Store on iOS 5 and below) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them
    If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Why does my PDF come out rotated when I haven't selected that?

    Why does my PDF come out rotated when I haven't selected that?

    What you are trying to do is a process that we call “refrying a PDF file,” a process that we at Adobe most strongly discourage. There are facilities within Acrobat itself that allow you to remove objects and crop pages without having to ruin the PDF by creating PostScript and then distilling that back into PDF, a potentially very lossy process. You lose all color management, all live transparency, and could have font problems in the resultant PDF file.
    The Adobe PDF PostScript Printer Driver Instance is parameterized by joboptions set in its properties. These properties have a parameter for page rotation. If the options specify automatic page rotation, you may be getting these unexpected results on the basis of Distiller's analysis of each page and trying to second guess the orientation. You should also be aware that the PostScript generated by Acrobat (and Reader) is optimized for printing on a PostScript device, not for generation of PDF by distillation.

  • Why does Verizon want me to pay *more* to renew my 2-year FIOS contract than to let it expire?

    Currently I'm paying $104.99/month for Extreme HD and 50/50 internet.  When my contract expires in August, that will supposedly go up to $119.99/month: When I go to the upgrade/renewal page, I'm offered a start a new 2-year contract for the very same services for $124.99/month: So why on earth would I do this?  Why would I sign a contract to pay $5 more per month for 2 years on the chance that maybe the off-contract price will go up at some point? It's also worth noting that if I try to sign up for service as a new customer, I'm offered the Extreme HD and 50/50 Double Play for my current $104.99/month for a 2 year contract.  I know from experience that trying to get new-customer offers as an existing customer is a losing battle (despite the fact that I already have the lines and equipment and would require zero labor from Verizon), but it still seems like a crummy way to treat existing customers.

    Well, the new-customer 2-year price of $104.99 hasn't changed since I began this contract 2 years ago.  And look at the screenshots -- I'm currently paying $104.99/month, with $15 in discounts which expire at the end of my contract, which means when my contract ends it'll go up to $119.99/month.  So to entice me into signing a new contract, they're offering to lock in a price of $124.99/month for 2 years, $5 MORE than I'd pay if I just let the contract end.  How does this make sense?
