Free WiFi Boost Pods at no extra cost

Hello - I received email that I'm eligible for WiFi Boost Pods at no extra cost, but when I logon to redeem it says that I am not eligible. Why is Xfinity sending such a misleading email?

Hello There! Thanks so much for taking the time to reach out via our Xfinity Community Forums!  It's exciting that you can take advantage of this great opportunity to have a free Wi-Fi Boost Pod sent to your home.  If the link in your email isn;t working you can also follow the steps below to access the weblink and order form. 

 

  • The WiFi Boost Pod must be redeemed using the link in the email and will be shipped within five to seven business days of redemption.
  • The same online order link will be available in xFi's Notification Center and the WiFi Boost Pod Redemption tile in the Overview tab of the Xfinity app.

the link was in the email and I did click on that to start the process.  It takes me to the xFi Pod page.  I click on the "Redeem Your Pod" button and after I log on to my account, it goes through its process and then the following message is displayed:

Looks like you aren’t eligible for this offer

Don’t worry, you can still purchase an xFi Pod to pair with your xFi Gateway.

Why send me the email stating that I am eligible and then stating that I am not and provide me a link to purchase an xFi Pod?

I got the same email, same link that says I am eligible and says not eligible with my plan after clicking the links when i clearly am with my plan which include Xfi complete.   This is not confusing to me I can read... Email said You're eligible Wifi Boost Pods at no extra cost. Click on the link and next page says Redeem your Pod....oops then says not eligible...how is that confusing? What I get from this is Xfinity says you need one to help your network and now hopes you buy one

Ditto... Very deceptive and super frustrating  But I can buy one for $119 or two for $199.

Same here and this is all over reddit etc.  Another of Xfinity deceiving bait and switch tactics to sell the pods.  People probably just buy one out of frustration.  Then I go around in circles with the 'xfinity assistant'.

I did exactly as instructed.

I think you must have a minimum service plan because I just signed up.  It could also be, because my area and my service is so "unstable". 

Either way, I am getting the pair for free as long as I do not cancel service within 90 days of receipt. Thanks!
