Hi All,

 

My apologies, I just learned that contrary to my earlier advice the Verizon account must be in the name of the retiree to receive the discount. Accordingly, the current accountholder and the retiree will need to contact Verizon to arrange for the transfer before the retiree can apply for the discount. Please note, the retiree will be subject to a credit check by Verizon.

 

If there are any questions please let me know.

 

Regards,

 

Al

Hi All,

 

The following are updates, clarifications and requests regarding the Verizon Wireless Discount:

 

  • The Verizon Wireless Discount which appears on the Chevron Recreation Website has been updated to include Retirees. The Chevron Retirees Association Website now has links to the Verizon Wireless Discount. The links to the Discount are as follows:
    • CR Website: http://chevrec.mybigcommerce.com/products/Verizon-Wireless.html
    • CRA Website: Appears on the website, www.chevronretirees.org, in two places:
      • On the Home page with top billing in the Benefits Update section
      • On the Retiree Resource Links page (as a parenthetical under ChevRec)

 

  • CRA Confirmation Letter: To speed up the process of issuing a Confirmation Letter, it would be most helpful if the Retiree could provide the following personal information:
    • Their full name (no nicknames please)
    • Their home address
    • The primary cell phone number on the Verizon account
    • Their email address

The Retiree should remove any applicable blocks in their email settings to allow us to respond to their request. Also, please allow a few days for us to prepare the requested Letter. Finally, we are reissuing Confirmations that were embodied in emails. They are being reissued on CRA letterhead. They will also be signed.

 

  • There may be some confusion about the size of the Verizon Discount. The following explanation of how it is determined was provided by Verizon:
    • “The employee (retiree) discount is applied to the Shared Data portion of our More Everything Plans.  The line access for the device i.e. smart phone, tablet, jet pack, connected device is not discounted. Other notables are existing promotions. See attached flyer with promotion data plan offerings and a $150 switcher credit for new lines of service.  Customers who port in their numbers from another carrier will receive a credit of $150 within 2 to 3 bill cycles.”

 

If you have any questions please let me know.

 

Regards,

 

Al

Hi All,

 

I was asked if the discount applied where the Verizon account is in the spouse’s name. Verizon is okay with extending the discount provided the retiree’s name is on the account as an authorized user.

 

If you have any questions please let me know.

 

Regards,

 

Al

Hi All,

 

It gives us great pleasure to advise that the Verizon Wireless (Verizon) discount is now available. We are extremely thankful to Chevron and Verizon for making the discount a reality for retirees. The discount is generally equal to 20%.

 

To obtain the discount Members who are already with Verizon will be required to validate their eligibility by following the instructions on the  attached form, “Your Retiree Discount.” Anyone who is considering transferring to Verizon, should mention the discount when they speak to a Verizon representative. Like existing customers, new customers will  be required to validate their eligibility by following the instructions on the attached form. Anyone who cannot produce a retirement confirmation letter or pension statement should contact Jim Bateman, Administrator for the Verizon discount. Jim will issue a confirmation letter for the Member. Jim’s email address is jsbateman@att.net and his phone number is 916-467-7520. Jim is also a Member of the Benefits Committee and the President of the Sacramento Chapter. (Please note, Chevron is in the process of adding the “Your Retiree Discount” form to the Chevron Recreation website -http://chevrec.mybigcommerce.com/products/Verizon-Wireless.html.)

 

If a Member should receive a rejection notification from Verizon, they should contact John Bauer, Major Accounts Manager, Verizon Wireless. John’s email address is john.bauer@verizonwireless.com and his phone number is 925-817-9358.

 

If you should have any questions please let me know.

 

Regards,

 

Al
