Verizon's website confirms that the money from the trade-in program is not instant:

It was not initially clear to us that they were essentially giving Verizon store credit (it could have been a Visa gift card or something), but the website also confirms what the Verizon store rep told my wife: it's Verizon store/account credit.
update: Got our iphone 6(x2) activated, and turned in our old 4s phones, and the rebate WAS INSTANT. It was applied to our monthly bill, per our request.
(I guess if you want it in form of a Verizon gift card you have to wait?? I forgot to ask that.)
So far, very happy with the phone; so much faster than the 4s, and much better camera although I don't consider that a promary function. Lots of pic adjustments too.
Verizon LTE is 2x faster than our home wifi - 41 down / 6.1 up on speed test in a pretty restrictive bldg where other people hardly get a signal even.
