Original article from May 2012 follows.

Verizon, looking to sweeten the deal for anyone ready to grab a new 4G smartphone, has begun a promotion that offers customers a $40 bill credit when buying a new 4G LTE smartphone from either Amazon Wireless or Wirefly.com.

The promotion, which is open to new or upgrading customers, began at 12am today and will last until May 24th. Customers wishing to participate can activate up to 5 devices, each earning another $40 credit.

If you've been waiting for just the right moment to upgrade to (or activate) a new smartphone powered by Verizon's 4G LTE network, now is a great time.
