Verizon Fios Referral Program

Verizon Cloud offers Referral Programs for its customers on a paid mobile plan and in good standing. Customers can participate in the program through the Verizon Cloud app, but those who already have Verizon Cloud included in their mobile or home internet plan are not eligible. The eligibility requirements are subject to change.

If eligible, customers can receive a $10 credit on their Verizon bill for every new referral who begins a new, paid subscription for the Unlimited, 2 TB, or 600 GB Verizon Cloud plan. The program is limited to 10 referrals every 12 months, and the contact who was referred will receive a 30-day trial for free, after which they will be charged at the applicable monthly rate.

To qualify for the referral bonus, the referred contact must have a postpaid Verizon wireless mobile plan and not have previously had a free trial to Verizon Cloud. Prepaid mobile accounts are not eligible. The $10 bonus per contact will be applied as a credit to the customer's Verizon service bill in 1-2 bill cycles after the referred contact becomes a paying Verizon Cloud user.

It's important to note that only one referrer can receive a credit for the same contact, and the customer must be on a paid Verizon Cloud plan in good standing with the same mobile phone number to receive the bonus. Bonuses will not roll over to a new phone number.

To refer a contact to Verizon Cloud, customers can follow these steps on the Verizon Cloud app:

1. Tap the Navigation Menu icon (upper left) and click "Refer a Friend."
2. Check out the program information and tap "Invite a Friend."
3. Grant access to your contacts (if needed). Choose only one contact at a time from your contact list.

The referrer and referee can earn up to $100 in gift cards, with the referee needing to order qualifying services and maintain a subscription for 60 days with no past-due balance. More information can be found on Verizon's website.
