misleading "live chat" offer and impossible to get resolution

I am a 24 yr subscriber.  I received an offer from ATT and a competing offer from Xfinity. The xFinity offer included (1) $100 visa card (2) "free" xfinity mobile phone to replace my land line subcription and free wireless phone service (3) $40 reduction on my monthly bill from current $234 or so (4) option to retain these benefits even if I cancel the wireless phone after i receive it (i explained that my family no longer uses or needs the land line).

Its 5 weeks later, I have received and activated the xfiinity mobile phone it now appears on my upcoming bill as a $25 charge.   My xFinity wifi/cable/landline bill for next month is unchanged, even though my landline is dead.  I have received no written notification (by email etc) of the authorized changes in my plan, no $100 gift card. 

It is impossible to get customer service help.  Three calls in 3 days, each beginning with the obligatory bot chat, then live chat, then live call with overseas agent, then live call overseas supervisor. then one supervisor reaches out to another supervisor, then either I just run out of time or line goes dead.  NO ONE CALLS ME BACK (xfinity is a phone/communication company).  No one has authority to receive an email containing the transcript of my chat from 3/16 where these offers were made explicitly.  NO one has the authority to look up in xfinity resources and read the chat.  Spoken to reps in South Africa, and USA and other countries I didn't think to ask. 

This is a terrible scam.  I've spent over 5 hours on this already this week.  Shameful.  I've paid hundreds of bills from Comcast on time.   Xfinity team: Please read and help, potential xfinity customers: beware.  XFinity team members: see my chat id - [Edited: Personal Information]

i already did that and attached the chat.  I will report here on what changes.  I hope this route will be more efficient and responsive and RESPONSIBLE, not a scam.

I repeat I have paid 300 comcast bills on time. I won't stay with comcast unless this is swiftly and fully resolved.  You all should feel bad about the systems in place, it is amazing.

the very fact that no one gets into this chat, reads my prior xfinity chat (number given above) from 3/16/2024, acknowledges what I have stated as correct, and provides a resolution, speaks for itself.

Instead I am redirected to another "private" area to seek resolution.

I have provided the requested 2 factor authentication token and uploaded the transcript of xFinity's own chat from 3/16/2024.  We'll see if the rep is authorized to read it.

Thanks for your participation XfinitySara.  I look forward to a response that includes acknowledgment of the accuracy of my summary of the chat offer, and the company's plan for addressing my concerns about my current xFinity and xFinity mobile May bills.

Update: I have received a message from support acknowledging the content of my chat is reported accurately in my message.  

"Now that I've had a chance to look everything over, I want to escalate these concerns to the proper Xfinity Mobile contacts. You're right, no changes have been made to your residential account which is why you are seeing the same services (including the landline phone) and monthly charges. I can tell you've been signed up for Xfinity Mobile, but I also find no record of a $100 prepaid Visa gift card."

I spent hours being bounced between xFinity mobile and "xFinity services" reps and supervisors already. 

We'll see what happens next.  I appreciate everyone's interest and effort.

I understand you want to remove your landline. Do you want to keep that phone number by porting it to your mobile service?

I want you to honor the terms that I agreed to on march 16th. they are very clearly outlined in the chat that i copied for your team.
‎1:33 PM
my landline ended march 20th. i shouldn't be charged for it after that date, do you agree?
‎1:34 PM
I received a phone call from a senior managing service rep at xfinity mobile today. They asked me to explain my concerns from the beginning.  They did have access and said they had read the march 16th chat but they still needed me to restate "my concerns".  After, they said it isn't an xFinity mobile issue, and said they are reaching out to xFinity services (who made the offer to me, i never contacted xFinity mobile) to clarify how to resolve the mobile offer.

this is a useful link:

some text from my ongoing private chat  with xFinity Support on this "community" page. 
I want you to honor the terms that I agreed to on march 16th, wholistically, after you assemble a team from xFinity and xFinity Mobile who have the authority to do it. No more pointing to and in effect blaming the other xFinity team/company. My offer terms are very clearly outlined in the chat that i copied for your team, and in my prior emails.

please update me on resolution of my concern.  

I received a phone call from xFinity Mobile Executive support 4 days ago.  They explained they read my chat and understood my requests.  They were unable to provide resolution and said they would reach out to Executive Support at xFinity Services (mobile/cable).  They said they would contact me again by phone with more information about resolution.  I was away from home 3 days ago and over the weekend.  I am now home and available for an update.
