Why Verizon's Discount Programs Pay Off
The Real Numbers Behind the Savings
Students can keep up to $540 a year in their pocket with mobile and internet savings. Military families get up to $25 off wireless and solid accessory discounts. Employee savings vary, but many companies negotiate deals worth snagging — it’s one of the easiest “work perks” to actually use.
Only One Primary Discount Allowed
You can only use one core discount (student, military, or employee). But the Mobile + Home discount can stack on top. Think of it as adding a coupon to a coupon — yes, it’s allowed. Here’s more on how to optimize your Verizon bill.
