Account split after adding internet - platinum tier status incorrectly reset

I have been a continuous customer and have earned my platinum tier status. Recently, I added home internet to my existing services. Instead of adding it seamlessly, the automated system generated an entirely separate, second account number under my profile.

​A representative told me that because internet is now my 'core,' my tenure is reset and I am considered a new customer. This directly violates Xfinity's written policy stating that the longest-tenured account determines the household rewards tier.

Hi there, @user_jxjp9b. Thanks for reaching out to us here on the Community Forum. It sounds like a second, new account was created here. When that happens, you're considered a new customer and the Member Rewards tier is adjusted accordingly. We can fix it by cancelling the new account and restarting your old account and rates.

So because I got home internet u guys consider me a new customer? And to fix it I have one any benefit I'm getting under this plan? That doesn't seem right at all. How do I become worth less when adding a service. Sounds like a backend glitch.

@user_jxjp9b, there should be one account per customer, per address. You mentioned you were a continuous customer and adding home internet to your existing service. This should include your tenure as a member. From what you mentioned, a second account was created mistakenly. A new account is considered a new customer in our system. We can investigate to see what happened and get your existing account reinstated with an eligible internet rate. Please send us a direct message with the directions I provided in my previous response to get started. Thanks!
