From the article
"For every $300 customers spend on their Verizon bills, they receive one Up credit, which can be used for rewards such as Uber rides, four free months of Apple Music or chances to win tickets to see performers such as Lady Gaga."
"Verizon makes it clear during the sign-up process what data consumers are giving up: Information about their demographics and interests, what websites they visit, what apps and features they use, and their location."
- signup for it and use a VPN. You get all the benefits with sharing minimal data.
- sp332 9y agoThat only solves one of the issues listed. It won't help with location, demographics, or what apps you use.
- shostack 9y agoWorth noting is that Verizon almost certainly is paying a net amount for those deals than they would actually cost (if anything). They may have revshare arrangements for new customers and wholesale rates for things. I'm curious what the actual cost per user is forecasted to be.
