Xfinity Mobile Bait and Switch Promo

I moved my T-Mobile lines to Xfinity on the basis that I will receive $300 gift card for each lines. The Xfinity agent I spoke to on 11/19 was Jayde with ID# 10239469 and she processed the order and clearly said I will receive a total of $600 for both lines. I called just a week later on 11/24 to activate both lines and the agent I spoke told me I was lied to and was to only expect $100 per line for a total of $200. This is a clear case of bait and switch, and complete lack of integrity on Xfinity. Suffice to say that I will be cancelling the lines and going back to T-Mobile even if I have to pay more each month. Misleading and defrauding customers is no way to do business.

This has apparently just happened to us, too. The Xfinity agent I spoke to on 1/10 was Marlene with ID# 23574. She promised $100 per line to bring your own phone and $200 per line for switching from T-Mobile. She also promised $500 for being an internet customer. When I called today, the agent said that she could only confirm $100 per line after 4 months. She also told me that she did not have an ID # and had no way to transfer my call to Marlene. Did she make all of this up just to make a sale?

@user_89428e​ Unfortunately the agent you spoke with may have misrepresented the several promotions that may have been available at the time, and the fact that the promotions could not be combined. Each promotion has its own conditions that must be met. Look at the current promotions to understand how each of them work. 

LESSON: Fortunately, or unfortunately, whether by phone, in store, or online, XM promotions are exactly the same. Agents cannot override the XM computer system, no matter how convincing you may think you are or how confusing an agent may be.

I think @DaveO3 is correct. The issue is the complexity of the Xfinity promos and the lack of training and tools for their employees.  I am pretty good at reading contracts, but it still is a challenge for me to understand which promos I qualify for with Xfinity.   But while I do not believe any Xfinity employee is trying to trick any of us, the end result for customers is often the same.

I will give credit to Xfinity for following through on all 11 of the promos I qualified for when I switched from Verizon.  It was a confusing process and it seemed like some of the promos never showed up on the tracker and/or randomly disappeared.  Bu in the end, Xfinity made good on all of them.
