Cyber Monday is over, but some deals are still going strong. Verizon continues to give away free gifts to people who sign up for Verizon Home 5G or Verizon Fios, though the options have changed a bit.
Until recently, you could choose to get a $200 Target gift card. Verizon has removed that option but added a Nintendo Switch as a choice. You can also choose a Samsung TV or a Samsung monitor. Those who sign-up can pick a single freebie.
Tuesday, Dec. 2 @ 10:24 AM ET: Verizon's offer is still live, though the option to choose a $200 gift card ended. Target's deals are also drying up, as the Kindle, iPad, and Meta Quest return to their standard prices, but the OmniBook 7 deal lives on. Verizon has also added the option to get a free Nintendo Switch — Ben Wilson, Senior Editor & Sean Endicott — News Writer
Verizon 5G Home and Verizon Fios Home Internet both provide high-speed connectivity to your home — their methods just differ. If you want the fastest speeds, you should sign up for Fios. Verizon 5G Home is an excellent choice if Verizon does not have fiber optic cables in your area but 5G connectivity is.
I've covered these types of deals from Verizon for years. They vary in value, and the current offers rank among the best of 2025. The Galaxy Tab S10 FE 5G retails for $599.99. Several of the other gifts normally cost $399.99.
None of the free gifts available through Verizon run Windows, but many are nice companions for users in the Windows ecosystem. The Samsung’s 32" M7 Smart Monitor has a 4K display that's nice for getting work done or enjoying content. It's not going to compete with the best gaming monitors when it comes to refresh rate or other specs, but it can be used for some light gaming.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE 5G is a mid-range tablet with a good display for media consumption. It also has S Pen support and can connect to your PC if you have a supported Samsung laptop.
Perhaps the most enticing is the new option to choose a Nintendo Switch. This is a first-gen Switch, not the newer Switch 2, but it's still a nice console with a good library of games to enjoy. Our friends over at TechRadar explained why the original Nintendo Switch is still worth a look in 2025.
Spending Target gift card
Verizon's deal used to include the option to get a free $200 Target gift card. That freebie is no longer an option (as expected). Originally, I suggested the following items as worthwhile devices you could get a reduced cost with a Target gift card. They're still solid options if you're shopping or picked up the gift card before the offer expired and want a good way to spend it.
FAQ
When is this offer valid?
The availability of Verizon's offers depend on the free gift you're after. For example, the $200 Target gift card is no longer an option but others will remain available until after January 1, 2026. You'll need to click on Verizon's "Gift options" link to see if the exact item you want is still available.
How are Verizon 5G Home Internet and Verizon Fios different?
Both Verizon 5G Home and Verizon Fios provide high-speed internet access to your home. How they accomplish that differs. Verizon 5G Home uses a signal like the one sent to cellphones to connect your home router to the web. Verizon Fios relies on a fiber optic network of cables. The end results are similar, though the exact speeds available will depend on your area and whether Verizon has fiber optic cables near you.
