Overview

  • Verizon has notified customers on its older 5G Get More and 5G Play More plans that Apple Arcade and Google Play Pass subscriptions will end September 22, with perks removed on September 25.
  • These legacy perks were valued at $6.99 per month for Apple Arcade or $4.99 per month for Google Play Pass.
  • Starting September 1, Verizon will discontinue long-standing $10-$15 loyalty line discounts and account credits on legacy plans.
  • Customers are urged to switch to Verizon’s new myPlan packages, which separate service from paid add-on subscriptions.
  • The changes align with Verizon’s 2023 strategy to shift from bundled promotions toward direct subscription and tiered-pricing revenue models.
