Last year when my contract was due to run out, I called VZW CS to see if my
promotions would expire when the contract ended. (I signed a one year
contract when they were ending promotions at the end of your contract). The
first 4 times I was told yes. The next time I called the CS said "yes but
wait a minute", then said "no they won't". And they didn't. Found a CS who
fixed it for me without a new contract.
