There was a previous deal a few months ago where verizon gave $100 for every smartphone traded in in the form of a vzw gift card. (Specifically wireless, not fios/etc applicable). It was ludicrously abused and people were purchasing bulk 1000+ android 2.x, 4.0 prepaids to ship in. If people offer you a large amount in denominations or multiples of 100, 18, or 38 it's probably from that. IIRC there was a subreddit dedicated to scamming the promotion and "maximising value"
