A:AnswerVerizon says that the Up Rewards points are usable at any Verizon Retailer which would include Best Buy.
The Best Buy Associates may not know this or how to do it. But it is a simple matter of entering your rewards promo code on line at time of purchase and Verizon wiill use it to adjust the price/installment payments. If it is not done right at the store, you can call Verizon after and they will take the code and adjust things. Verizon has great customer service ifor this type of issue
You would not get Best Buy points. If you are using Up Rewards you are purchasing the phone from Verizon, not from Best Buy. You are making payment to Verizon typically via a 24 month installment agreement. The Up Rewards go to adjust the price in the agreement. That is also why Verizon can make adjustments after purchase.
A:AnswerI pay for my plan with my chosen carrier and the monthly charge for my new phone is included in the bill along with the monthly charge for the protection plan that I purchased with the phone. If you buy an unlocked phone you should be able to set it up for monthly payments but you will still need a carrier and plan to use the phone along with a SIM card at some point.
A:AnswerIf you still owe money on your current device, then yes. You must trade it back in to purchase another device. If you own the phone, it is your choice whether to turn it in or not.
A:AnswerIt's not swap-able, like the older Sammys and LG phones. But Samsung (or you) could replace it. Since it's IP rated, I would have Samsung or a warrantied professional do it. But the battery has lasted me the whole day, with pretty heavy use.
A:AnswerWhile this is 3 weeks old, I am sure it still applies. I just purchased two phones and received the discount on each phone. If you have a line that is not paid off, you can still get the discount on the new phone, but will have to pay off the balance on the old phone at the same time..
A:AnswerSimple answer NO, it does not have to be tied to a plan if you purchase the unlocked phone. Otherwise read the fine print.
You can purchase an "unlocked" phone for less upfront money, however, if your wireless carrier is Verizon you will NOT get the HD calling, Video Chat, Messenger+ features, contacts lists, just to name a few. They cannot they be added to an "Unlocked" phone. My experience with Verizon Tech support was not the best since I did not purchase it from them and they are under no obligation other to refer you to where you purchased the phone for any phone related issues.
If those Verizon branded features are not important then the unlocked phone may be the cheaper opinion (as of July 2019).
BestBuy does have the branded Verizon phones and other carriers that are occasionally at a reduced price.
Hope this helps...
A:AnswerNo you do not have to activate immediately. Depending on when you purchased the phone you may have to start your monthly payment on the phone even though it is not yet activated.

A:AnswerDepends on the sale. Be on the look out for every carrier sales and Best Buy sales. For example, I went in Best Buy and I purchase 2 Verizon Samsung Galaxy 9+ during a sale when Verizon had a promotion when you buy 1 get 1 free. Then Beat Buy also had a promotion where you can trade in your old phone and get $150 gift card. So I traded my old phone to get the gift card first. Buy the 2 Verizon phone buy 1 get 1 free (doing monthly payments on the phone). Used the gift card to paid the tax for one phone. So basically I spent nothing out of pocket. My bill is only making 1 phone payment plus the 2 line.
