Customer service cost me a $830 promotion

Hello, 

I placed an order for an iPhone 15 Pro Max. I used a promo code from my Xfinity Gold rewards. The promo code was for $830 off a phone to switch to Xfinity. The iPhone 15 is on backorder, and my current phone has a fast-draining battery. I saw the blue color was not on backorder, so I called support. I asked if it was possible to switch the color of the phone and keep everything. The rep didn't let me know about any consequences for switching the phone. He canceled my order. I guess when he realized he messed up, he quickly transferred me to what he claimed was support, but it was the main line, not support.

I had to call back, and I spoke to three more people. Each person made mistakes, and were not very helpful. They repeated lines that were not relevant, and they didn't answer questions directly. It took over 2 hours before I was able to get a straight answer about my order, which was that when the rep canceled my order, I lost the promotion. Then the gaslighting ensued. They tried to blame me for the rep's mistake and blame me for not knowing Xfinity's internal processes. They offered no solutions and kept reminding me that I wouldn't be charged $830. This is crazy because why would I be charged the same amount that was supposed to be my discount? I asked if I could speak to a manager or have my issue escalated 5-6 different times. I was placed on long holds each time. They told me to go to local stores and ask around for a deal. I asked for a manager again; they finally said my issue would be escalated and I would receive a callback and an email. It has been three days with no email or call. 

The experience was so terrible I was crying frustrated tears by the end of the call. I'm shocked that this is allowed to happen and that customers are treated this way.

I am having the same issue well mostly.  I ordered a promax 15 1tb and it said delivery 10/25 I called today because it now shows 11/10 and I won’t be in the country.  I called CS TODAY to have them just change the color as all the others are in stock now and he said no but will cancel the order if I wish and place a new one but I lose my phone replacement funds!  
what are you kidding me!  Same order same phone just a different color and they are in stock!  
I have been a customer for 10 years and now I am looking at making the switch.  I have never had this many issues with xfinity in the past and frankly they don’t offer enough perks to existing customers to keep them!

Currently dealing with something similar. Tried to sign up and they immediately canceled my order. I now cannot reorder because it says my $830 reward was already redeemed
