A previous poster got credit using Verizon Prepaid, do you think that slipped through or all Prepaid from the big 4 would count towards the credit?
I feel like the way the offer is worded doesn't intend to exclude Google Fi or pre-paid wireless services.
"Get up to $20 back in statement credits each month you use your Card on wireless telephone services purchased directly from U.S. service providers through 12/31/20."
Obviously, the T&Cs probably give them lots of outs. Also, I wouldn't really classify Google Fi as a VOIP provider, any more than I would classify T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, etc., since they also allow phones to connect through Wi-Fi networks. Hopefully the apparent exclusion of Google Fi is just because it hasn't been recoded in the system yet.

Trying to figure out a way to take advantage of the credit. It appears that paying for a portion of my monthly bill with a Verizon gift card does not invalidate the discount. Hence my question. I may roll the dice and try it.

The real question is does buying a gift Verizon gift card online or in store trigger the Amex credit?
As a Verizon customer, I really hope there's a way to keep the autopay discount and pay with the Amex card. My monthly discount is $10 per billing cycle. In the worst case, I wonder if I could time two Amex payments of at least $20 each (for example, on May 28 and June 2), so that I can get $40+ in credits while losing only one month of Verizon autopay discount?
