Verizon is dropping daily freebies at 3PM all this week - is any of it actually worth the app hassle?
My Verizon app has been spamming me about daily freebies this week: Arby's roast beef Monday, Thrive Market trial Tuesday, Crunchyroll 90 days Wednesday, Marco's large pizza today (Thursday), all dropping at 3PM ET. I never bother with carrier freebies because there's usually a catch or a signup wall. Has anyone actually claimed these this week? Which day was worth it, and which ones required an account or new subscription I should avoid?

- Thursday's pizza, skip the rest
I claimed Monday and Tuesday. Monday's Arby's sandwich worked fine - showed the barcode, walked out, 2 minutes. Tuesday's 'Thrive Market trial' is just a signup trap: you hand them a card for a 'free' trial that bills you later. That's their whole game. Today being Thursday, go get the Marco's pizza if you're on Verizon, skip the trial nonsense. Freebie of the day is fine; anything requiring a new account is you being the product.
- Wednesday's Crunchyroll 90 days is the only one with real value
Did the math: Arby's roast beef is ~$5, the Marco's pizza ~$12, and the Thrive trial auto-renews at $59.95/yr if you forget to cancel. The 90-day Crunchyroll trial is ~$24 of actual service and past promos didn't require a card up front — the only one where the catch costs you nothing if you walk away. Claim Wednesday's, skip the rest.
