On-demand refund request

Hello,

My child made an accidental purchase on-demand and I'd like a refund on that. We have not watched it nor plan to watch it. I've read on here to send a direct message, but I can't find the option on here yet. Thanks!

Thank you for reaching out @Thogg11. I would highly suggest adding a purchase pin onto your box to prevent unwanted movie and show purchases and rentals. These purchases can drive up your monthly bill! You can follow the link: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/x1-parental-controls-turn-puchase-protection-on-off. Just remember you need to set the pin on each box, not just the main box to prevent purchases from happening. I also set up Xfinity Text Alerts to get a text message every time a movie or show is rented. You can view the link: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/comcast-text-alerts to set this up too!

 

Please send me a Direct Message with your name and service address so that I can fully dive into this for you! I will leave you instructions on how to initiate the message with us! I look forward to working with you soon!

Hi Dena, thanks! Yes, we have set up a purchase pin on our box. I didn't know that was an option until it was too late! I'll send a direct message now.

That is how I learned too. My 7 and 8-year-old once went on a spending spree while I slept in on Saturday morning a few years ago and bought 3 movies!! It was on their playroom TV and I had only set up the pin on the main box. Oops! :)
