What Is Verizon Visa® Card?

The Verizon Visa® Card app is a strategic loyalty tool designed for Verizon Wireless and Fios customers to manage their co-branded credit card and earn 'Verizon Dollars.' It functions as a retention engine by offering high rewards on daily spending (4% on gas/groceries) and exclusive 0% APR hardware financing. The app's primary goal is to deepen the customer's tie to the Verizon ecosystem by turning everyday purchases into bill credits and device upgrades.
