Maybe fucked out of $18, but so what?
Most Cell phone companies have Customer Loyalty programs that are offered by the "carriers" or "premium" agents only. Verizons program is called "New Every Two" and offers an addition $100 to customer as a "thanks for your past business". Wal Mart is not, and never will be a "premium agent as this requires "exclusivity" to the carrier. So yeah, they fucked you out of not only $18 but also an any additional money you could have saved by moving to a more expensive phone and still getting it free.
I hope this makes you feel a little better with your purchase.
