Verizon “Fuels the Love” in Kansas City

• Part of the company’s #ACallForKindness campaign which aims to make the world a kinder place, one act at a time

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Drivers roaming the Heart of America were surprised with kindness top of mind at the gas pump. Nearly 50 customers pulled up to QuikTrip in Overland Park, Kansas recently, where they were surprised with a free tank of gas as part of Verizon’s “Fuel the Love” campaign. Kansas City joins Dallas, Cincinnati, Las Vegas, Madison, Portland, Phoenix, Indianapolis and Tampa as locations where Verizon, the network America relies on, has surprised and delighted people all in the name of kindness.

“One simple act of kindness can be such a difference-maker for so many people,” said Matt Carr, Consumer Vice President with Verizon’s Consumer Group. “It’s why each retail employee at Verizon has a ‘Choose Kindness’ bracelet to serve as a visual reminder of the impact we make on the world. We hope events like Fuel the Love help inspire others to pay it forward.”

“This is going to help with so much,” said one lucky customer at the pump. “Could not have come at a better time for my family. We could use a pick-me-up.”

While Verizon is helping people save money directly at the pump in these select locations, it’s also making sure people know the value that comes with being a Verizon customer each and every day. For instance:

• Those looking to switch can take advantage of the new Welcome Unlimited plan – our best unlimited price ever for unlimited talk, text, and data on Verizon’s 5G Nationwide network. Plus, switch the whole family. Keep your phones and get $960 for four lines. You can learn more at: verizon.com/plans
• With Verizon Visa® Card, card holders can earn 4% in rewards on gas purchases at any time – all year round! When an eligible Verizon Wireless customer applies and is approved for the Verizon Visa Card, the new card holder gets a $100 statement credit applied to their credit card bill – after making their first purchase using the card within the first 90 days.

• Verizon’s 5G Get More and 5G Play More unlimited plans come with streaming services included (like Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+) saving customers on services they may already pay for.
• Subscribers of Verizon’s premium unlimited plans (Get More, Play More, Do More) qualify for Verizon Home Internet starting at $25/month with Auto Pay. You can learn more at verizon.com/home
