Possible sleazy (?) sales tactic

An Xfinity agent offered me a promo upgrade for 24 months at no extra cost. After making sure of the details and exhaustively asking questions to confirm the deal, I agreed: faster internet for 24 months at no additional cost. He upgraded my internet to the next tier but did not apply the discount…so he essentially just moved me up to the next tier and charged me more (no discount). I have screenshots showing our conversation, since I know these tactics. Who do I contact to correct this issue? No one answers (no live agents) on the Xfinity app or phone number (attempted multiple times over multiple days).

Hey there, @user_zfw498. It can be frustrating when your bill changes unexpectedly from what you agreed upon with the agent you're working with. All of the orders that we process require customer approval input process before we can complete it on our end. The order is sent to the customer to have them review the details and approve the order. Were the details of the order what you agreed upon? I would suggest reviewing the order confirmation details in your email to ensure the details are what you agreed upon. Is there anything that jumps out that is incorrect?

Thanks for your response! Yes, I have reviewed the order requests that the agent emailed. Both emails I received list the monthly charge as around $55/mo. My original plan was $55/mo and the agent assured me that the promo upgrade (originally valued after some other discounts at $65/mo) would continue to be $55/mo due to also adding a $10 discount for using autopay. However, in my Xfinity app it says my charge is $65/mo and looks like it lists that autopay discount as already applied.

I tried to include some details to help, sorry if I didn’t communicate it well. The gist is that, yes my orders say $55/mo but I am still being billed $65/mo
