Home WiFi Evaluation says "You’re eligible for a WiFi Extender at no extra cost" but when I try to redeem it says I'm not eligible.

I was supposed to have been given a wifi boost pod when my xFi first got installed. It never got sent. I have an email that says I'm eligible but when I click on the link it thinks about it for a bit and then pops an error saying I'm ineligible. I really need the free one the installer promised because my main computer room is just far enough away from the router that it gets an unstable connection.

I followed the instructions by this Xfinity Bot disguised as a human. I was able to get confirmation that they are mailing me the wifi extender after I sent them a screenshot of the email.
