I'm trying to follow the instructions laid out in the promotion from Apple, but Verizon isn't particularly helpful in finding the promotional application on their website. Is there anything Apple can do to aid in obtaining this mysterious application? $200 isn't much compared to the cost of my iPad Pro, but but the promotion did play a part in my decision to purchase.
We are all other users here, so we do not know if Apple can assist, but:

Looks like you need to buy it from Apple and then get a plan from Verizon.
Thank you for your helpful link and your diligence in obtaining it. However, because I was so unsuccessful in finding the link earlier, my promotion date has long since expired. But, you my be helping many others though. Thanks again for your efforts.
I followed it but the link doesn’t work.
Thank you. Ur message makes me feels like I’m not crazy. Apple need to correct. If I can get this handle I will make sure to give u an update.
I'm looking for the same $200 Mastercard offer but with T-Mobile can anyone help/
I had a 4g lte tablet I think the code was unlockbyob200 I'm not sure though I entered it as the agent gave it to me
That was great for you to add the info and just not say look up the terms!
Nowhere in the terms does it say 4G LTE iPad models only. The denial when submitting for the 5G model is the first indication.
I don't necessarily think we were scammed by Apple, rather, I certainly wouldn't put it past Verizon to simply cancel the promotion, at their discretion, without notification when it started to become too costly. Now, if Verizon had sold the device and hooked the customer into a long contract, I can see them offering this customer kick-back.
When I went onto Verizon's website, to claim my offer, I found every offer Verizon was offering at the time except the one from Apple. I went to a Verizon (company) store and they looked at me like I was trying to scam them until I brought up the Apple add on my iPhone. Still no help as they couldn't find the offer either. They took my info and said they would get back to me. Well that was two months ago and still no reply. Now, the 30-day Apple offer has expired for me, at least, so I guess I'm out of luck. By the way, Apple is still advertising the same offer, "For a limited time, buy an iPad with Wi-Fi + Cellular directly from Apple and get up to $200 back when you activate it with T-Mobile/Sprint or Verizon." At least as of 8/18/2021, that is...
In my case, the purchase of the tablet didn't hinge on the promotion. I purchased it regardless. It was simply a nice to have benefit that never materialized.
$200 promotion from Verizon after purchasing an iPad Pro.
