Missing Trade In Credit

I got a new phone and traded in my existing paid off phone during their promotion to receive $600 off my new phone purchase spread out over 24 months. This was April 8. I sent in the phone, received confirmation it was ACCEPTED and would receive my credit. This shows in numerous places in my account and email.

Since then, I have spoken with over a dozen customer service representatives that have given bogus explanations on why it hasn’t shown up on my billing statements, each time them telling me they’re fixing it an to wait a week, 10 days, a full billing cycle, the 3 month waiting period, etc. It is now September. 

Everyone I have spoken to confirms they can “see” I should be getting it. Has anyone had a similar issue and how did you get it fixed?

Back to confirm I filed a complaint with the FCC shortly after this and my issue has now been resolved.

I'm having the same issue. Xfinity couldn't transfer the number to the new phone. I called support and they said they had to create a new line, transfer the number, then deactivate the line. Now support is telling me the deactivated line needs to be activate for credits to apply. I got an 80 dollar credit instead of the $600/24 months because of this. I have all the proof too but support is constantly denying me. I will be paying off the devices and going to a different carrier.

Similar issue. I traded in two phones, each with $700 of trade-in credit over 24 months. It took 3 weeks and 4 calls to customer service AFTER FedEx confirmed delivery of the phones before they acknowledged they were received. For the first billing cycle after that, I got the trade-in credits but both were applied against the same line on my bill. I thought that was weird but since the dollar amount was accurate I thought I was all set. This month, only one trade in credit shows up on one line and my second line shows up that the trade-in credit will be applied once the phone is received. 

Makes no sense but I can’t get anywhere with the chat support. They stopped responding after asking me to confirm which bill is inaccurate. As soon as you mention a billing dispute they disappear in chat. The person I’m chatting with comes up as just “Mr.” so you don’t even know who you’re talking to. 

I’ll try calling on Monday to probably be told they have no idea and their escalation team will say once the phone is received you get the credit. 

Normal Xfinity support is pretty good but the Xfinity Mobile support team is extremely difficult to work with. The service is tremendously cheaper than what I paid with Verizon so you get what you pay for but I just wish there was a happy medium here.

@surragard​ As an update I think this may have been resolved. O received an email that an adjustment had been made to my account so I went on the Xfinity app to look at my bill. This month is the same, but for next month both the trade in credits I should receive and also the trade in credits that were missed this month have been included in the bill. I won’t really know for sure if this is fixed until I see the next bill after that (I.e. was this a one time fix or are the trade ins now correctly programmed to my account). 

I get why Xfinity wants to give the credits out for 24 months rather than up front but if their system can’t process them consistently then it might be best to just provide the credits at the time of trade-in. With that said, the trade-in value Xfinity Mobile gave me was better than what the market average was. I’m hoping that everything is resolved going forward.
