Deceptive $200 Gift Card Issue with Xfinity Internet Plan

I signed up for the 1100 Mbps Internet plan on 3/18, and during the sign-up process, the agent explicitly stated that I would receive a $200 gift card as part of the offer. This promotion was a key factor in my decision to proceed with the plan. However, despite multiple assurances from different agents, I have yet to receive the gift card.

  • On 3/18, before signing the 1-year contract, I repeatedly confirmed with the agent that I would receive the $200 Amazon gift card, and she assured me that it would be issued soon.

  • On 3/23, I contacted another agent who stated that he had made the necessary changes to my account and that the card would be sent soon.

  • Last Friday, I reached out again, and the agent said there was no record of the gift card in my account.

  • I then called Xfinity, was transferred multiple times, and finally spoke with a supervisor, who said he would escalate my case and provided me with a ticket number.

  • On 3/31, I contacted support via online chat, and the agent stated I would receive the card on 4/1—which did not happen.

I have transcripts of all these conversations proving my claims, and I find it unacceptable that I’ve had to spend excessive time and be transferred over 30 times to resolve this issue.

I need a clear resolution immediately. Please confirm when I will receive my $200 gift card, as initially promised. Or this is just a pure scam.

 Usually the gift cards don't come until after a 90 day period; it keeps customers from "grabbing" a cool $200 gift card and then cancelling their service within the 30 day period.  However, I do know that some customers have gotten their cards quicker, but that hasn't happened very often.

This is a scam company. The internet service could never be canceled.
There is no button on the website to cancel the service.
Every time I tried to speak to a representative, they would hang up as soon as I mentioned canceling.
Even phone calls would get disconnected once I brought up cancelation.
Meanwhile, the charges kept accumulating.

@Sunnyinging Welcome to our community forum and thank you @Again for jumping in with your helpful insight :). What are the terms of the gift card promotion when you view your contract online? In most cases, service needs to remain active and the account needs to remain in good standing for a certain period of time before the gift card is sent. You can keep track of the status of your promotional gift cards here.

Same thing just happened to me.  I was promised a $200 Mastercard gift card online and in the store in February of 2025.  I signed up, to make matters worse, I also switched up my mobile plans.  Waited 90 days.  Called and no one has any record.  I went to the store and they also say they see nothing,  I threw out the paper proposal last month.  Figured we were good so didn’t think I needed to keep it.  Well, I think I am [Edit: Language].  I have nothing to prove it.  So, stuck for 12 months and then will drop Xfinity.

Same for me and I just tried to look up my status and it says it's invalid.  I changed my internet and mobile because of the promo.  I signed up in March 2025 and still no $200 gift card.  What makes it worse is it's impossible to speak to a live person.  Please advise.

All complaints I've just read are eerily similar to my situation. I switched to Xfiniti on 3/13/25 after paying off my Verizon phone and promised a $200 prepaid gift card. I sent in proof of paying off my phone. I was told I would receive the gift card after 90 days. It's now almost 5 months later. I've been told countless times the card is coming in the mail (sound familiar lol). I've emailed Xfinity Support. Not surprisingly, they've not been a help. I was asked again to send in proof of paying off my bill in July. I did but nothing happened. I was told I would receive a call and email on 8/2. That never happened.

How many times I've been told I will be transferred to a supervisor. I get disconnected every time. I fulfilled my end of the deal by switching to Xfinity Mobile, now it's time for you to fulfill your end of the deal. The only recourse if this is not handled properly is to report it to the Better Business Bureau and leave Xfiniti Mobile for a more reliable provider like Verizon. We have all heard stories of the cost of losing business to a dissatisfied customer.

I have the same thing happening to me!! I was promised a $200 Amazon gift card when I signed up in April 2025. I got a $150 Mastercard in my email and I’ve been trying to call and I’ve put in 2 tickets and countless hours on the phone trying to get the other $50. They just closed my second ticket. Do better Xfinity!!

Unfortunately this same thing happened to me two days ago. I got my service started on 3/5. I initiated my service via phone call that day and had them confirm these benefits upon setting up. When I called two days ago they attempted to gas light me “uh are you sure it was an Amazon card bc we’ve never done those for promotions.” Then I was “accidentally” transferred to wrong departments and kept me on hold for 20 min at one point making the call 60 min and still not getting to a resolve. I kept saying these calls are recorded go back to 3/5 and read what I was told that day. They said I’d receive a call back but I hadn’t the next one is going strait to management. This is to be looked out for on the streets but never expected from an establishment such as Xfinity. It’s crazy but validated this same thing is happening to others.

Having the same issue here. I switched to Xfinity 1100 Mbps Internet on 3/17 since there was a $200 gift card promotion with this internet speed tier. Until now I still haven't received the $200 gift card. Every time when I chat with Xfinity agent they said the card will be either mailed or emailed soon but never happened. Last time they provided a number for the card management company. I called and they said they couldn't find any information about this $200 gift card.

Have you checked the incentive tracker

There's a 90 day wait period before you qualify for the card, and then it could take anywhere from 1 to 4 weeks, or longer, before you actually get it.  Your notification should come to your primary email address.  If at any time during your 90 wait period you changed anything with your service involving that card, chances are you would be disqualified from receiving it.

Same thing happened to me. I called and told them that we would sue. They got me to a loyalty department who told me my gift card was emailed to me when though I was originally told it would be mailed. They said it went to my spam, it wasn't there.  They had me call another number to deal with the missing card but that was a dead end. 

Funny part,  2 days later, guess what appeared in my email, not my spam? The gift card. 

So in other words, they are up to something. This seems deceptive. Hold them accountable!

I literally started looking for all of my documentation instantly upon getting notification of it in my email. Sounds like the only option we have remaining.

I, like everyone else painstakingly called and jumped through hoops just to actually speak to a human numerous times. Sometimes I would be told that there was no record of the promised incentive virtual prepaid debit card for $200, and that there was no record of my previous contacts with Xfinity about the issue. Other times, more often than not, I was definitely receiving it, after lengthy times on hold, then beyond aggressively solicited about Xfinity mobile. I mean that despite saying no and hanging up, they repeatedly attempted calling me for about 30 to 45 minutes after. 

I have still not received my incentive, and still get the same [Edited: Language] when I call. I have had my service always in "Good Standing" since I opened it well over the 90 days I was told I would have to wait, back in May.

Hey @user_ijq74o, Thank you for visiting our official Xfinity Forums Community support page. We appreciate you taking the time to reach out and letting us know of your experience with the promotional prepaid card campaign. Typically, the card would be received within 4-6 weeks after the 90 days of good account history. 

We do provide our Xfinity Incentive Tracker where you can check the status of the gift card. When you check your account, do you see the status of the gift card?
