New Customer - Cannot Activate/Setup Email and System Doesn't Seem to Recognize Home Phone Service
I am a new customer (and about to be a former customer if these many issues continue). I activated my customer-owned modem and router today. All goes well, my phone rings, I have internet, etc.
When I click to CHECK EMAIL in Xfinity, I get sent to this page:
https://xfinityconnect.email.comcast.net/resources/static/activate.html
When I click "ACTIVATE NOW," the page redirects a few times and says "we are now loading your email." When all is said and done, nothing activates, and instead, I am sent to this page:
https://www.xfinity.com/hub/?cid=cust
There is a message at the top that says:
Looking for email?
You can now check your Comcast email by selecting your account icon in the navigation menu or using this link.
When I click the link, it takes me back the Xfinity Connect page with the "activate now" and it's an endless cycle.
This is PATHETIC.
First, my service/order was never completed by the store when I picked up my self-install starter "kits" (shrink-wrapped, dirty, beaten up TV boxes thrown into a reusable tote - the one box has scratches all over it and literally had TRASH PAPER crumbled up and shrink-wrapped with it). I had to do an online chat and was told they never started my service (even though the kid asked if I wanted to complete my order when I stopped into the store and I said "yes, make sure it's all active").
Second, when I click to MANAGE INTERNET or MANAGE HOME PHONE on the website, after logging in, it sends me to pages to basically advertise services and acts like I'm not already subscribed (whereas if I click MANAGE TV & STREAMING it shows me my plan details). When I click CHECK EMAIL it just goes through the endless loop above.
Third, I keep getting told to sign up for Xfinity Rewards. When I click to access Rewards, I am told my account isn't eligible for rewards. WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?
The customer service is non-existent at this point. I got no welcome guide, paperwork, etc. when I picked up my starter kits and my order wasn't "completed" properly, leading the stupid Xfinity Assistant to keep messaging me saying my order would be cancelled if I didn't pick up the equipment, even though I picked the equipment up days prior and just hadn't had a chance to try and hook it up yet (moving into a new house is a big task).
I don't know if the store rep not activating my stuff properly in the store is the issue or if the online rep who said they started my services missed something or if there's a backend issue with your systems that someone higher than front-end support needs to review (I'm talking people who actually code the site, database, applications, etc. needing to investigate) I've spoken to more overseas representatives trying to just get my services going properly and they don't understand what I am asking. I'm ready to take advantage of the 30-day guarantee and cancel after day 1 unless someone in the US can understand my issue(s) and actually help.
