Verizon Credit Card

Verizon also unveiled its plans for a credit card this week. The new card is launching with Synchrony Financial and Visa.

Consumers who signed up for Verizon’s auto-pay feature will receive a discount on their bills of as much as $10 a month per line on certain plans. And the card offers 4% back for gas and groceries and 3% for dining and takeout.
