For the past couple of weeks, Verizon has been running a deal that gets you a free Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra when you add an eligible line to your account. That’s a great offer on its own, but the carrier has apparently decided to up the ante for online customers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Add a line on the Unlimited Ultimate plan and Verizon will now give you $1,300 over 36 months<\/a> (enough to cover the full price of the S26 Ultra) AND a free $100 gift card if you place your order online. No trade-in required!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To be clear, the free gift card promotion is available with ALL smartphone purchases when you add a line on the carrier’s myPlan system, so you can choose the Verizon deal<\/a> that works best for you. That said, I’d argue that the Galaxy S26 Ultra offers the best value, since you don’t have to worry about processing a trade-in to receive the oodles of credit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The device in question is easily one of the best Android phones<\/a> that money can buy today, with a gorgeous 6.9-inch AMOLED display, built-in S Pen stylus, and the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Elite processor. Like the rest of the Galaxy S26 series, the phone also comes with seven years of guaranteed OS\/security upgrades and all of the latest AI-boosted software features.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The only real issue that I have with the Galaxy S26 Ultra is its price tag, which is why deals like this<\/a> are so important. The catch is that you’ll need to sign up for Verizon’s Unlimited Ultimate plan to enjoy the savings, and that’s the carrier’s most expensive offering.<\/p>\n

Still, you are getting a lot of value for the money, as the data plan comes with unlimited talk, text, and 5G Ultra Wideband data, a ton of international benefits, and an unlimited mobile hotspot. You also get the ability to mix and match additional perks for a small fee every month. These benefits range from discounted streaming services to cloud storage and beyond.<\/p>\n

Unlimited Ultimate starts at $90 per month for a single line, although you can drop that price considerably by adding multiple lines and using AutoPay. Sure, the phone plan isn’t cheap, but throw in a free Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra AND a $100 gift card? Now that’s what I call softening the blow.<\/p>\n
