NEW YORK, Nov. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The day before
Thanksgiving is notorious for being
one of the busiest travel days of the year, with crowded airport
terminals and crowded roads galore. This year, Verizon wants to
help everyone get through the crazy travel day in good spirits.
That's why they're turning the day before Thanksgiving into a new holiday called
"Thanksgetting," and celebrating it with consumers 'getting'
access to complimentary movies, music, e-books, Wi-Fi and
more, keeping the 'are we there yet' questions to a minimum.
And Verizon customers can 'get' an extra gig of data to enjoy all
the digital world has to offer throughout the holiday season.
Verizon worked with a number of top partners to create
Thanksgetting, which is centered around a suite of gifts that will
help keep travel boredom at bay. Best of all, these digital gifts
are available to anyone who visits vzw.com/thanksgetting between
now and Wednesday, November 25,
regardless of whether or not they're a Verizon customer.
Verizon is helping consumers ease holiday travel with:
- Movies, TV shows, music, e-books and apps from
Amazon
- A $5 gift certificate to iTunes
from Apple
- A 30-day Pandora One trial for new subscribers
- A $20 credit toward a ride on
Thanksgetting Day (November 25) from
Lyft
- Airport Wi-Fi from Boingo
- In-flight Wi-Fi from Gogo
- MyRewards+ points from Verizon Fios
There is something additional for Verizon customers: an extra
gigabyte of data* that can be used now and another gigabyte for the
next bill cycle to enjoy the Thanksgetting bounty throughout the
holiday season.
To learn full details about all the Thanksgetting offers, visit
vzw.com/thanksgetting between now and Wednesday, November 25.
* 1GB Data offer ("Promotional Data") can only be redeemed one
time per account by VZW customers on a qualifying plan.
Promotional Data will be added to your existing monthly data
allowance, and applies to data usage after Promotional Data
redemption date. Promotional Data will be shared by all lines
on an account.
