Outage Credit Issue

I was affected by hurricane Beryl and had my power restored 5AM on 7/9/2024. My internet service did not work until 3PM 7/18/2024. Since the power was back, but the internet was out I'm looking to receive credit for 7/9/2024 to 7/18/2024. However, when I go to the credit refund page it only allows for 7 days from the outage. I think it's only fair that a customer would be refunded credit for services not rendered. Is there another way for me to get the proper amount of credit refunded?

I think its actually evil that these people didnt have service for over a week, tried to get a credit for their outage and failed, and now have to log in and send some random message to xfinity support to try to get a credit. Xfinity knows they did not provide service and the dates and times of the outage. These people just dealt with a hurricane. Now they have to fight with your buggy messaging system. Give the credit automatically just the same way you take payments automatically or shut off service for nonpayment automatically. Not make people jump through hoops to maybe get a credit they deserve. If i lose my transportation or my job because of a hurricane, xfinity still expects payment. So if xfinity cant provide service because of their vulnerable equipment/infrastructure or not having enough repair personnel staffed for said hurricane...they should provide the credit. We are tired of this BS.

user_1lljbr, Hi there! Thanks for reaching out and for your time. This is definitely not how we want you to feel after requesting credit. We appreciate you greatly for your patience while waiting for a response. Especially when dealing with a hurricane. I agree that during challenging times such as this, we should offer an easy way to be credited for services that were down. You've knocked on the right door in virtual land. Over social media, we are a team of billing experts that can help with credit inquiries just like this. When you tried for credit, did you request the credit by using our Digital Status Center? If not, this is one of the easiest ways by simply scrolling down to where it says "Tell us more about your experience in the Interruption" Tips section at the bottom of the page. A form launches to determine eligibility for the credit. You will then provide details about your experience during the interruption.

I am having the same problem. My services were down due to Beryl from 7/9/24 thru 7/18/24. I have logged into my Xfinity account and cannot seem to find the "Direct Messaging" icon anywhere. Please advise.

Same here, had no service for 6 full days but can only get a credit for 1 day through the website. It’s not right to be charged for nearly a week where I couldn’t have service.

We were also without internet due to Beryl from 7/9 to 7/18. I'm not finding the Direct Message icon. I see my profile icon but when I click on it, the only options I see are...

Billing

Account and Identity

Comcast Business

Support

Check Email

Check Voicemail

Watch TV Online

Sign out

Am I not looking in the right place?

Hello, @skajerk in the top right-hand corner you should see the direct messaging icon, the notification bell, and the Profile pic(or purple and white X symbol). If that DM box is not there click on the profile pic. In the drop-down menu select profile settings and then scroll down. Make sure the "Opt of direct messaging" box is unchecked. You have to be signed in to do all of this. Let us know if you still cannot DM us.

My service was out from 7/8 to 7/18 and I am also getting a message on the request credit form that says to keep the outage dates within 7 days of each other. How do we request a credit for the full length of the outage?

I need a credit for Beryl related outage as well. When I try to request it via my account I am only allowed one day but I was without service for longer than that.
