Wasted Promotion

I’m supposed to get a free mobile line as a benefit that comes with my internet plan. I attempted to use this benefit and ended up with a monthly fee of around $15. I missed the delivery of the phone because I was on vacation which prompted an automatic return. This somehow cancelled the whole promotion for me. It used to be that if you missed a fedex delivery, you would just have to go to an office to pick up your package, but apparently that is no longer the case. If I try to reorder this, it shows up as a $45/mo fee. I am not interested in doing that. All customer support that I’ve spoken to or chatted with are unable to reactivate my promotion. I need someone with elevated permissions to resolve this issue. As an internet subscriber; I should be able to get a new phone line with the only monthly payment being for the device. I’m stuck in no-man’s-land where Xfinity is asking me to activate my line, but to get the phone and line I have to reorder a used up promotion. It is very frustrating that normal customer service channels are not equipped to solve what seems like a simple problem.

@user_b7kwq2 Have you changed your original promotion on your Xfinity Internet service since signing up? Has it gone past 90 days since you started the promotion for the Xfinity Internet service?

@XfinityBradM in the Xfinity app under services it still says “Claim your free line”, but once I follow the steps it asks me to agree to $45 a month. The first time i did it and ordered a phone the final charge said $15/mo. I placed the original order on 7/31, so it has not been 90 days. Last time I went through the customer service chat, they told me the promotion is no longer active on my account. This is a pretty bizarre set of events that happened because I wasn’t home to accept receipt of cheap Motorola phone.

@user_b7kwq2 it would be 90 days of your internet package starting. What day did you start your internet package?

@XfinityDena I started internet service in January, but I was able to use the promotion at the beginning of August and my Xfinity app still says “Claim your free line”

Had you been billed previously with the free line promotion on the account for the same line already?

It’s supposed to be included. I compared the August bill to the July bill and August has an added bit of text saying “

Because you have other Xfinity Services, you are not paying a monthly $25/

phone line access fee with your Xfinity Mobile service. To view your mobile bill, visit”. I did not receive a device or set up this line.
