The Black Friday phone deals are here in full force, which means every retailer under the sun is slashing prices on its most popular tech. In the midst of all this chaos, Verizon is taking a slightly different approach by handing out FREE $200 gift cards when you order a Google Pixel or Samsung smartphone. No trade-in required!

Considering that many of these Android phones are already $0 when you add an eligible line at Verizon, you're basically getting free cash on top of a free device. The $200 gift card comes with most smartphone purchases on any Verizon myPlan, which means the Unlimited Welcome, Plus, and Ultimate plans are all eligible.

The gift card can be used on everything from phone cases and smartwatches to simply paying down your monthly balance The deal is stackable too, so you could earn some serious savings if you pair the gift card with the right Verizon deal. Yep, Black Friday 2025 just got way more interesting.
