Get a Verizon Loyalty Discount of Up to $20 Per Line with this Simple Trick

If you’re a Verizon customer, you might be missing out on a surprisingly easy way to save money. For the past few years, savvy Verizon users have discovered a simple trick that can unlock loyalty discounts, as much as $20 off per line, per month, for an entire year. And yes, it’s still working in 2025 — here’s how to unlock the benefits.

Verizon happily allows users to save up to $20 per month with an easy workaround

This isn’t about coupon codes, referral schemes, or third-party apps. It’s built directly into Verizon’s own system. Essentially, all you do is initiate the process of porting your number out, which triggers Verizon’s backend to assume you might leave. In response, they often present you with a retention offer to stay.

The discount offer isn’t guaranteed, but many users have reported success. Typically, you get $10 off per line, per month, but some users have scored a higher $20/month discount per line. So, depending on how many Verizon lines you have in your group or family account, this can quickly add up to over $100 in monthly savings. In fact, we tried this trick today, and Verizon gave us a discount of $20 per line, totaling a $100 discount on our monthly bill for five lines.

If you can’t wait to try it yourself, here’s a quick step-by-step guide on how to trigger the discount prompt. It’s risk-free if you follow the instructions carefully:

• Open the My Verizon app on your phone

• Go to the Account tab

• Go to Profile & Settings (just under your name at the top)

• Scroll to Number Lock and temporarily turn it off

• Go back and tap Number Transfer PIN

• Generate a transfer PIN — don’t worry, you’re not actually porting your number

• Wait — Verizon will email or text you a loyalty discount offer

• Once you get the discount offer, re-enable Number Lock for security

In many cases, the offer appears within hours or days, either via message or directly in the Offers section of your Verizon app. If it doesn’t show up immediately, some users say it took a little patience before the system responded.

Things to know before you try this Verizon discount trick

While this is a risk-free trick, you need to be wary of a few things. Most importantly, don’t forget to re-enable Number Lock. It’s a security measure that protects your number from being stolen or ported without your consent. Always re-enable it after generating the transfer PIN.

Also, note that this may not work for everyone. It’s not an official promotion, so your mileage may vary — if you don’t receive a discount offer from Verizon even after waiting for a few days, maybe your account isn’t eligible for it. Meanwhile, some users have been able to stack this with other discounts for bigger savings. It might depend on your account history.

Nonetheless, if you’re a Verizon customer and not currently enjoying a loyalty discount, it’s worth taking a few minutes to try this trick. Worst-case scenario? Nothing happens. Best case? You’re looking at hundreds in annual savings — just for poking around in the app. Like other major carriers, Verizon wants to prevent churn (aka losing customers) and is ready to offer discounts when the system detects that you may be planning to switch to another provider.
