The only way that I have found to maintain annual upgrade eligibility for the S9/S9+ is to go directly to Samsung, bypassing VZW as the middleman: Pay off balance on existing device via My Verizon, immediately transferring full ownership to you. Purchase S9+ directly from Samsung online: Galaxy S9+ 64GB (Verizon) = $929.99, free shipping, opt into Samsung Upgrade Program. Trade-in for S8+ = $300. Financed balance for S9+ = $629.99 plus tax over 24 months, 0% APR Premium care available through Samsung (optional) = first month free, $11.99/month thereafter The decision is yours -- you just need to decide what you want to do...
