Look at his profile, he claims he's famous and works for NBC. Either he's got showbiz influence to hold over their heads when he cons them into getting free products, or everything he wrote is a lie. I'd wager on the latter.
I don't work for NBC anymore. I am self employed now but still famous.
I don't get showbiz influence on anything I purchase and if you had any knowledge how networks or businesses work then you would know there are hundreds if not thousand of departments within a corporation. There are departments that do specifically merchandise, broadcasting, finance, etc. all within the NBC umbrella. And within those separate departments each has it's own finance department, etc. It's a whole web network and just because I work(ed) at NBC doesn't mean i'm in the show business side of the business. I'm sure you knew that though.
And I didn't con anyone into getting free products. I'll gladly explain.
If you go under verizon you'll see that if you open an account or open a new line you get an instant $300 credit when you trade in a working smartphone. You can buy a cheap trackphone from Best Buy for $10 dollars and trade that in. There is a huge list of phones on verizon's trade in section and the $10 burner phones are included. So again, nothing shady...
Let's say an LG G4 cost 600.
$600 - $300 = $300
Now there was a promotion through LG a month or so ago where you got a $200 rebate by submitting your receipt.
$300 - $200 = $100
So now I have a brand new LG G4 for $100 dollars. I did this twice. So I have two brand new LG G4 phones that cost me $200 out of pocket. Sold one of those new LG G4 phones for $400 and now I have a profit of $200 dollars and a brand new LG G4 phone.
Also some phones received a text message when you activated the device. The text message gave you a unique code that you can type in on the trade in device page on Verizon's website. But with the unique code you instantly get $300 and don't have to purchase any device. You just have to trade in a working smartphone, and in this case, the $10 burner phones are eligible and on the verizon list. I got two unique codes.
So I actually profited $200 + $300 unique code #1 and +$300 unique code #2 from both of my LG G4 devices.
With that profit I purchased a NOTE 5 using the same method. I opened a new line but this time you got an instant savings of $400 off during black friday. So I only have to pay around $320 toward the Note 5 to pay off the rest.
The next day I went and purchased the S6 by opening a new line and trading in another burner phone from best buy and got $300 off. But for some reason i'm not sure if there was another deal or something but my total left to pay off the device was $76 dollars. I think the S6 might have been on sale around black friday which is why it was so cheap.
In addition to buying these two Samsung devices both devices were eligible for the Samsung website promotions. Each phone received a $50 giftcard by submitting the receipt. Each phone received a $100 samsung store promotion which I used to buy some odds and ends and the Gear VR which I got all for free. And in addition to that the phones were both eligible for a $350 holiday gift pack that consisted of either an expensive pair of headphones, a wireless charger puck and an external battery charger or an expensive crystal case, a wireless charger puck and an external battery charger. I received both.
So no shady business was done whatsoever. All legit, all part of the promotions and all done opening new lines which isn't illegal or frowned upon. 1 Verizon account is allowed to have 10 separate lines on the account.
My bull is nowhere near $400 a month. I pay $160 a month for my wife and my devices. $40 each for phone plan and $100 for 19GB data. I have an employee discount where I save 25%. So I pay about $80 after taxes on my data plan.
So there you have it. Think what you want and try to knock me with what you THINK you know. Enjoy your day and I'll enjoy my G4, Note 5 and S6 that cost me absolutely nothing and I ended up scoring $$$.
*Tips hat*
I said G'day!
