The Black Friday and holiday deals are here, making it the perfect time for savvy shoppers to stay alert. Amazon is already rolling out some impressive tech discounts, and Apple has announced its own Black Friday event for this year as well. But one of the more surprising and exciting offers is coming from Verizon — a deal that includes a free Nintendo Switch, Samsung TV, or tablet when you sign up for one of its home internet plans.
To qualify, you’ll need to subscribe to Verizon Fios (Fios 1 Gig or Fios 2 Gig), 5G Home Ultimate, or LTE Home Plus. You must keep your account active and in good standing for at least 14 days and avoid canceling within the first 180 days — about six months. Cancelling early allows Verizon to charge you for the full retail price of the promotional item, such as the $340 Nintendo Switch console.
Customers can choose between the Nintendo Switch — which appears to be the standard LCD version rather than the OLED — the 10.9-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE 5G, or the 43-inch Samsung Q7F QLED Smart TV. Internet plan prices start around $35 per month, though availability and rates can vary by location. Another standout benefit is Verizon’s five-year price guarantee, locking in your rate until 2030 as long as you remain a subscriber. Cancel early, however, and those promotional prices expire.
A Smart Way to Gift a Gadget
If you’re in the market for home internet — or ready to switch providers — this Verizon offer is an excellent way to snag both a competitive plan and a free device. The Samsung QLED TV is from one of the most reliable smart TV brands, while the Galaxy Tab S10 FE offers solid performance and value for a Samsung tablet.
If you don’t need the free gadget yourself, it could make a perfect gift for someone special — a partner, child, or friend. Just be sure you’re comfortable committing to the service for at least six months to avoid being billed for the full item value.
For those less tempted by free electronics, Verizon is also running a $100 gift card promotion with select home internet subscriptions. This offer varies by region, so check your ZIP code details on the Verizon Wireless website. Keep in mind, though, that you can’t combine offers — it’s either the free gadget or the gift card.
