Xfinity mobile plan - $30 internet discount issue

I recently signed up with Xfinity mobile in November and was told there would be a $30 monthly discount to my Xfinity internet along with a $200 gift card for each phone I transferred over. I've yet to receive the gift cards (maybe it's still too early) and also have had to contact billing to manually credit the $30 credit to my account in January and now it's missing from my Feb statement. Anyone else experiencing the same issue?

Hi there, @user_52f19d. Thank you for signing up for Xfinity Mobile!

@XfinityRay​ Hello, I did call yesterday but got transferred 3 times and in the end got nothing accomplished. Being a 25+ year customer I expected better service. While I got confirmation that my gift cards will be sent 90 days after my mobile service was activated (March 21), I tried to focus on the $30 credit. I contacted Billing first but the gentleman I spoke to said he couldn't do anything for my current billing period basically saying he couldn't see anything for this deal and said the discount 'MIGHT' get applied next month. This didn't make any sense to me.  Since I wasn't getting anywhere with him I asked him to transfer me to the Mobile dept to figure out what plan was advertised at the time of my transfer.

I had to repeat the situation with the Mobile team and they said I might have confused the $30 discount with the Affordable Connectivity Program. I clearly remember the sales agent telling me that the incentive included a $30 discount on my Internet service and this was the tie breaker in transferring my service. The Mobile rep then suggested that I speak to Billing again to see if there is something they could do because I was a diamond customer so they transferred me back to Billing.

After repeating the background yet again the next Billing rep understood my situation but said there was no known deals that she could find that included the $30 discount. I asked how is it that when I called last month the Billing agent manually applied the $30 credit on my account and said it would be automatically applied monthly after that. She didn't know but for my troubles she said she would apply a $40 loyalty credit on my account for this month and that she would contact the Mobile team to see if they could assist further. It was at this time I was transferred again but at least this time the Billing agent gave the new Mobile rep all of the background info so I wouldn't have to. 

The new Mobile rep was very apologetic for my situation and said that after reviewing my account that there was no $30 discount offer at the time of my transfer. The only incentive was the $200 prepaid Visa card per line transferred. Needless to say I was very disappointed in being duped. After expressing my disappointment the agent said she could offer me a $20 monthly discount instead. I don't know if there is a current mobile deal for this amount being advertised but at least I would be getting some type of discount so I agreed. 

The call concluded after a total of about 1.5 hours and I was expecting to see the $40 discount applied on my cable/internet/phone account. It's a day later and I still see no credit. I can't tell you the level of frustration I feel at this point. I've been a loyal customer for a long, long time but this experience is making me reconsider moving all my services. I'm one that normally has the patience of a saint but this is truly a test. I'm hesitant to call again and waste a couple more hours getting the run around. I really need help from someone at Xfinity Billing that can assist. I'm going to wait another day to calm down and try again.

To anyone considering transferring their mobile service to Xfinity be very careful and get all the details in writing so that you don't have to go through what I am going through now.

As an update to my situation I ended up moving back to AT&T after receiving my gift cards last month. I was only able to get someone in billing to manually apply a $30 credit the first month after transferring to Xfinity mobile but wasn't able to after that. Maybe I wasn't persistent enough but after trying a couple times each month after the first month I gave up. It's a shame it came down to this since I haven't had any problems with my cable/internet/phone service with Xfinity. I thought maybe I just had an over-zealous sales rep promising this incentive for a commission but from what I'm seeing in this forum it appears to be something a little more widespread.

I feel like I may be in the same situation. Getting ready to transfer 3 lines over from T-Mobile and so far the porting process has but less than optimal. Luckily I have been able to get my wife's line ported over but still working on getting my own number to Xfinity Mobile. I was originally also offered a $30 discount off my home internet bill if I switched to Xfinity mobile. After seeing a bunch of posts like this, I'm starting to worry about whether or not I'll actually see this discount without manually contacting Xfinity every month to make sure it gets applied.

I have the same situation. They always have excuses to tell you: you are not eligible to have the discount after you follow their instructions. They will just tell you the benefits to do so, but not telling you the requirements until you did.

I am considering signing up w/ xfinity mobile - this after calling in to inquire about my xfinity internet rate going up. The agent told me that I would get a $30/mo discount on my xfinity internet if I signed up for xfinity mobile. And I have considered that option and thought about it...

So this is a similar or same situation like yours. But now I am concerned if I will be treated the same way they are treating you - after porting my number etc., what if the $30/mo discount doesn't appear... How can I protect myself? Would it be better to sign up for xfinity mobile using a chat, and taking screen shots of the chat, vs. signing up over the phone? Or visiting a store?

I'm having the same experience. I was promised a $30 discount and two $100 gift cards. I spent an hour on the phone with billing. After two billing cycles, I have not received the discount or the cards. If I don't receive them soon, I will be changing carriers out of principle. I hate being lied to.

The gift cards are pending, but no mention of the $30 monthly cable credit.
