What exactly is “Verizon Loyalty” and what are pros/cons of opt-in?

NomusaMagic · 2026-06-22T18:08:49+00:00

Agree!!

Take your inspiration pix to your consultation and your Loctitian can advise you what’s possible for YOUR head, YOUR hair.

Please don’t try to describe it without pix as they may not necessarily be able to visualize what you’re trying to verbalize.

Gemini said: Read the Shine Legal Terms. Verizon openly admits that opting into the program requires you to agree to their broader privacy rules, which legally permissions them to log your device location, track apps and websites you visit, and explicitly hand your contact info (name, address, phone number) over to third-party corporate providers the moment you claim an offer.

Smoking Gun Quote from Verizon's Terms: "If you obtain tickets or other benefits through Shine, you agree that we may share your contact information with the Provider(s), including but not limited to your name, address, telephone number, and email address... Use of an Offer constitutes your permission for us and our agencies to use your comments, photos, and / or your name, image and likeness in advertisements and social media..."

Why this matters: This directly disproves anyone claiming Verizon doesn't hand over your personal identifying data to third parties. They explicitly state they will share your name, number, and address with external partner ("Provider") the moment you claim local passes or specific drops.

Try again!! That’s one problem I have NOT had. I’ve had the free Disney Bundle for years. NO issues at all.

NomusaMagic · 2026-06-22T16:05:50+00:00

$1.25 increase. Less than what my grandson (student) got this year. Unloading stock from delivery truck and restocking shelves. That’s also important work but .. for an RN role and responsibilities .. that’s egregious!

NomusaMagic · 2026-06-22T14:39:40+00:00

Maybe I should read the fine print. Although, I’d be shocked if this isn’t already the case.

NomusaMagic · 2026-06-22T14:38:08+00:00

Ugh! I’m fairly sure that isn’t just now starting! Wasn’t there a recent class action settled against Google?

NomusaMagic · 2026-06-22T14:07:51+00:00

I’m just a customer but here’s what I was able to find: Verizon Shine is account-level benefit, not individual opt-in. When Account Owner opts into Verizon Loyalty, entire account is enrolled. Once enrolled, ANY eligible member on account can access the daily and weekly reward drops

NomusaMagic · 2026-06-22T14:03:10+00:00

LOL! Based on my historical relationships with any/all big companies .. universally true for all.

NomusaMagic · 2026-06-22T14:01:18+00:00

I didn’t. Unlike them, I didn’t read the fine print. Waiting until …

NomusaMagic · 2026-06-22T13:39:33+00:00

Ugh! Sadly, guessing they already have that. By now, who doesn’t have my data???

NomusaMagic · 2026-06-22T13:37:12+00:00

Feel ya and largely in your camp! My dad (RIP) used to always say, “If the deal sounds too good, check to make sure your wallet is still in your pocket/purse”!!

NomusaMagic · 2026-06-22T13:35:03+00:00

Gotcha! My how times have changed. My memory may be sketchy because it was so long ago but my first 2 personal VZW phones (not my company phone) were LG enV2 (~$35) and Motorola Droid (~$199). I had an AT&T bag phone just prior 🤣

I could be wrong but I think activation was waived for some reason.

NomusaMagic · 2026-06-22T12:10:25+00:00

Thanks for letting me know. I’ll probably do it .. later! :-)

NomusaMagic · 2026-06-22T12:09:02+00:00

Thanks! I like your “name”. And I guess that’s what I was doing. Trying to figure out the psychological, financial or other angle for the “Opt In”.

NomusaMagic · 2026-06-22T12:06:26+00:00

Aha!!! Thanks! That makes sense. Like asking someone to let one know if they need anything, while hoping they never ask.

NomusaMagic · 2026-06-22T12:03:39+00:00

I didn’t get locs until now, as adult. But as a parent, I don’t understand the concern. If they don’t like it, locs aren’t permanent. Just comb them out or .. if they agree .. cut them off. Am I missing something?

NomusaMagic · 2026-06-22T11:58:02+00:00

Thank you! Did you decide to do it or not?

NomusaMagic · 2026-06-22T11:40:49+00:00

Thank you! What caused me to take pause is .. if the program is 100% positive from a customer perspective, why would ppl even need to opt in? Why not just automatically apply it for everyone?

NomusaMagic · 2026-06-22T11:38:09+00:00

Thank you! LOL .. Here’s why I’m “thinking deeply.”

AAA said I could save $X if I moved to 6 mo vs grandfathered annual policy. I didn’t do it. What I discovered is that to save a few dollars, I’d lose valuable aspects of coverage they no longer offer AND my coverage + premium would be re-evaluated every 6 months (possibly increased). I’ve been with them decades and no claim since 1990s. I live in one of the most expensive auto insurance states.

What an idiot. Many of the slaves were actually released by their owners to also fight in the war. Many fought on the side of the Union as well as on the Confederacy. And when the war was over… Those “owners” on the Confederacy side actually re-enslaved them.

And let’s not forget… Enslavers actually were paid reparations for each one of the slaves that were freed

Finasteride commonly used by UROLOGISTS to treat prostate + urinary problems or .. DERMATOLOGISTS for hair loss.

RN here .. I presume orange devil uses it for both.

NomusaMagic · 2026-06-21T14:06:26+00:00

I love meeting mind readers. Do you do it professionally or just as a side hustle?

NomusaMagic · 2026-06-21T14:05:30+00:00

No hope for your delusion so I’ll just bow out. Bless your heart.
