No, the discounts still apply..I've been getting it for the last 2 years (retired in 2011). Check UPS'ers.com for any questions you might have.

I kept my UPS ID. I switched from Sprint to Verizon six months ago and used my old ID. They made a photocopy of it. Retired fifteen months ago.

Did you go to a Verizon store and just show them your old ID card? You used your photo ID used to enter the hub?

Yes, I went to the Verizon Store. I was in a very small center without security. It's the photo ID I was issued as a driver.

I believe only office people, (Management), have a UPS e-mail.

Yeah, Verizon's nagging about 22% ticked me off, especially since my plan was so expensive.
$62/mo after taxes for 500 min 2 phone shared plan and 1000 texts on 1 phone, no data.
Now they want 22% more?
Looking at their other plans.. They HAVE TO BE KIDDING!
$40 mo each smartphone? 2GB data $60????
I probably would have kept the same plan for years but for their NAGGING over 22%.
SO..... bye bye Verizon.... Hello Page Plus Cellular.
Same Verizon towers, same coverage, sounds exactly the same, but now $29.95/mo, no taxes, 1200 min, 3000 texts, 500mb data per phone.
Thanks Verizon!

I'm assuming I'll lose the discount when I retire. Others are assuming they are Ok, but don't forget, Verizon just started doing this. I've had some problems with them, so I'll just move on anyway.

I'm with you. They've been a pain about this verification. I'll dump them without a problem. so be it.

They actually just sent me a text with a link to upload my latest pay stub.
I was just talking to my wife yesterday about switching to a cheaper service. Verizon prices are getting crazy. Three smartphones & 1 talk/text only, $209.
Fax a copy of your most recent paystub from UPS to 1-800-711-7788 AFTER redacting all personal information (including salary) except your name and address. Make sure the UPS logo and the check date is visible.
