I've been waiting for months to use my "New Every Two" credit on a new Droid. ("New Every Two" is a discount Verizon offers its existing customers every two years to upgrade to a new phone.) Here's the thing, Verizon advertisers the Droid at $149 to existing customers, the New Every Two credit on a Droid is $100. So I should pay $49, right? Nope. If a customer wants to use the new every two on the Droid, Verizon jacks up the price to $199 so the final price is $99. Am I the only one who thinks this is complete BS?
