Misleading info about BOGO line deal
I called in October to cancel my cable TV services. While doing this the agent asked about my mobile service, which I had at Verizon at the time. She informed of the BOGO line promotion for new customers. My phone and my daughters was paid off so I knew I could switch. I agreed to do it because I would save me over 100$ a month. She also informed me I would a 20$ discount on my internet service that I was keeping. So of course I went for this deal. When my first mobile bill came out, the discount was not there. I called and spoke to an agent (male) and was told that before the bill was actually automatically paid the discount would be there. The first bill was paid and there was no discount. I called again and spoke to a different agent (female) and was told that I had to pay the first bill in full and the discount would be there on future bills. She said she could see on the account that I was supposed to be getting the discount. (completely different than what the first agent said). She said that the discount would show up around 1/7 or 1/8 before that bill is to be paid on 1/12/2024. I called today 1/9/2024 and was told that I could not get the BOGO line promotion because I was getting the 20$ discount on my internet and it would not let them apply the other promotion to my mobile billing. This is the third different answer I have gotten. The agent that signed me up and transferred my service never mentioned this.. She in fact knew I would be getting the discount on my internet and told me she signed me up for the BOGO line promotion. How was she able to sign me up if the agents now can't? OR did she know at the time she would not be able to and did not do it but led me to believe that she did? I am very upset at this point. Something needs to be done about agents that do not know what they are talking about or are just misleading for the sake of making a sell. I am seeing the other post on the forum about the same thing so I am not the only one. Xfinity should honor what is being told the customers by your hired agents. The agent I spoke to today did apply a 30$ credit for this month while he tried to figure out what to do. This is not good business practices at all. I will take this to the BBB if I need to. The only thing that will make this right is if the discount is applied for the 12 months like I was told it would be by 3 different agents.

Thank you for reaching out @Krisdani24. I am sorry that you feel you are getting the run around with information regarding the BOGO offer with Xfinity Mobile. If you were to look at the pricing and other info on the offer with the link: https://www.xfinity.com/mobile/learn/deals it does state the promotion may not be combined with other service offers.

This is the exact problem I have been having. Here's the link to my post:

I wasn't sure where to post and ultimately posted in Customer Service / Billing.

I have the same issue. They told me my internet bill would be $5 more a month and now it’s $75 more a month for upgrading. They won’t help me change it back unless I pay the full amount which is now $245 when I payed $200 already in the past month

I am going through this exact same situation with my sister. It’s incredibly frustrating and there should be systems in place to protect the customer.
Misinformation is a form of manipulation. And for what? If the agents don’t know the product that’s Xfinity’s issue, and if the agents do know the products but are lying about promotions, that is STILL Xfinity’s problem. How does this in any way fall on the customer?

I have the same exact issue. I signed up for this promotion because I was told I would get $20 off my home internet in addition to the free ($30) line. The agent I chatted with said it would show when my credit card gets charged. Today, the agent said since I was getting the $20 discount, that I don't qualify for the BOGO offer. This is wrong.

Xfinity did the same thing to me a few years ago the agent sold me promotions that were not available - fortunately, I recorded the conversation so Xfinity had to honor what the agent said.

If you call enough times, Xfinity will respect your persistence and will apply 30 dollars as discount on each billing cycle. Basically, agent suggested me to call them 12 times (once every billing cycle) to get the 30 first credit for the line (Total 360 dollars).

I’m having the same exact issue. I originally called for internet/Wifi service. They said they have a promotion BOGO for New Customers if I switch my mobile service and add an additional line I can pay for 1 $30 for 2 lines for 1 year then $60 for both lines thereafter. This was January 17, 2024 I said I’m happy with my current mobile service, but I’ll think about it then call you guys back. So after speaking to my son he said well you can add my phone and we can split the bill. I said ok so I called them back and I got all the information they needed so my son & I can switch over to Xfinity mobile. Here we are February 19, 2024 I’ve called and chatted with multiple people/ customers service representatives who sound nice and promising but they all have been lying. Every 12/24 hours after a chat and/or call I find myself constantly contacting [Edited: "Inflammatory"]! They gave me a $20 credit to my Internet service as a gesture of goodwill! As if they is resolving the main issue! They’re charging me $84.88 when my bill should only be $30! I have no choice but to report them to the Bette Business Bureau for false Advertising! [Edited: "Inflammatory"] They make promises while we’re hoping this one agent will honestly do their job and correct this issue. This is the last time I’m waiting 12 to 24 hours later to see if my bill has been updated! If not I’m taking my card information off my account and taking further action! I advice anyone thinking of signing up with Xfinity to [Edited: "Inflammatory"]

They did the EXACT same thing to me, been fighting with me for the last 2 and a half months every time I talk to someone they give me a different explanation. Currently in the phone with them now and they're saying it as signed up for the BOGO But I'm not "eligible" I believe this is a scam that they'll eventually be dealing with a lawsuit over. Xfinity has terrible customer service

Same thing happened to me. No $30 discount for the first year. Has anyone had any luck going into the store?

I have the exact issue. I do not receive the statement credit although Xfinity agent confirmed my eligibility for the offer before I placed my order.

Exact same issue - signed up for the BOGO lines to add phone lines for my kids. Already had 2 lines on Xfinity Mobile. 3rd billing cycle it has not been applied. I had read all the fine print, even read my contracts. Nothing says that if you have a promo on your internet account you are not eligible for the mobile discount. In fact the contract even states that the internet and mobile are two separate accounts and should be treated as such therefore a promo on one should not preclude a promo on the other. The customer service agents are nasty too when I call in - they tell me it has been escalated to corporate and they dont know when I will hear anything and there is nothing they can do for me.
I am currently searching for new internet and phone service providers because this is unacceptable. Over the last 3 months I have spent over 10 hours on the phone with customer service.

I got scammed into this also. In my situation its even worst because the agent never told me about the BOGO code. They just simply forgot to add it and I ended up paying a much higher price then I was advertised. The later agents figured this out for me and there was no way for them to change it. So I'm stuck....

I also got scammed by Xfinity. I chat with agent and they said as well as I order 2 mobile line before the deadline (March 21); then I will get BOGO. I ordered on March 19, but now after activated 2 mobile lines and pay $20 activation fee, they said there is no BOGO on my account.
