How exactly does the verizon rebate to get the iphone 6 work?

I have an iphone 5 and would like to use the $200 rebate through Verizon to purchase the new iphone 6 but I'm wondering how I can do this without having to be without a phone for 2 weeks while waiting for the $200 gift card to be shipped to me.
