Verizon gets the iPhone but gets rid of “New Every Two” program

The company is ending its popular “New Every Two” program, which offers Verizon subscribers a credit of $30 to $100 toward a new phone every two years. As of Jan. 16, the company will stop offering the credit to new customers and won’t re-enroll current customers in the program after their next New Every Two upgrade. The cell carrier is also putting the brakes on its permissive early upgrade policy, store representatives confirmed. This means that if you renew your contract with Verizon they will charge you the full price for a phone so the only time you will get a price break on the phone is if you become a new customer. I feel that this is a bad move only because other companies will still offer deals to their customers if they renew their contracts, but Verizon thinks they can keep their customers even if they charge full price.
