Can't link accounts
I have been trying to link my accounts and pay my bill for over a week. This is the WORST customer service experience I have ever had. I have Xfinity at two properties but only one of them appears in my online account so I have been trying to link my second account so it can be on auto pay.
On Thursday, 9/21/23, I tried multiple times to use the website (https://customer.xfinity.com/#/settings/account/linked-accounts) to link the accounts but it timed out and said "server at idm.xfinity.com is taking too long to respond". I used the chat function and spent about 20 minutes with an agent (because it took the agent 5-6 minutes to answer each of my comments) for the agent to say that he could not link my accounts and was transferring me. The agent never even asked me for the account number of my second account so not sure he was even trying to link them. When transferred, I was number 28 in line and decided to disconnect since I didn't have time to wait, again. Later that day, I tried downloading the app and I couldn't link the accounts on the app either.
On Monday, 9/25/23, I again tried multiple times to use the website to link the accounts to no avail. I tried the chat function. After about 10 minutes, it said that I was "connected to an agent" but there was no agent. Every 3 to 4 minutes, I would enter into the chat something like "Where are you?" or "Is anyone there?". No one ever responded. I waited in the chat for 35 minutes and no one ever showed up. I tried calling the customer service number, multiple times, but it just leads you in circles until the system actually just hangs up on you. They don't let you speak to an agent, ever. I tried scheduling a call back but that feature was "unavailable" that day.
On Thursday, 9/28/23, I signed up for a call back from Xfinity scheduled for 1pm that day. That was 23 hours ago and no one ever called me back. What's the point of scheduling a call back if they can't call you back at the agreed upon time?
Meanwhile, they keep sending me emails about needing to fix my account. Whenever I click on a link in the email, it just sends me in the same circles listed above. I can't believe it is this hard just to pay my bill. Imagine how hard it would be if you actually needed help or wanted to cancel service. I have never seen so many failure points (website, chat function, app, customer service phone number, call back function) in one system in my life.

Hi, @user_98ff62! We are grateful for your time spent on this and reaching out for help with linking the two accounts. As someone who is also a paying consumer, I definitely understand how important it is to link those account so so you can pay the bill alot easier that way. I am sorry to learn about this experience. We will do everything within our power to rectify this and help with a solution as quickly as possible. Thank you for providing that website link for linking the account. Here is also another great article to our digital options for linking the accounts as this can only be done via the self service options from what I understand. Please let me know if this helps.
For troubleshooting purposes, have you tried this on multiple devices to see if you experience the same error message?
Additionally, as far as making a payment we also offer multiple options for paying the bill. One great option for making a payment is through our webpage. Here is a link that will take you to the try quick pay option to pay any balance option without signing in. Once you click on the try quick pay option without signing in, it will ask you to confirm your account number and will allow you to make that payment. Another option for making payment is to call us at our 24/7 support number or by visiting us at your nearest XFINITY service center.

Ah, okay. My sincere apologies. It seems that Quick Pay option function only works on XFINITY Mobile. Instead of linking the account, are you able to sign in to the other account directly that does not appear? Just to confirm, the other account that you want to link is still active. Does this sound correct, @user_98ff62?

I've been having the same issue! I have the account number to my old account and my new account, I have the address of each, both of them were set up using the same email, and yet I can only ever see my old account online or through the app.
I've tried opening the "link accounts" (https://customer.xfinity.com/#/settings/account/linked-accounts) page on my phone through the app and online as well as through two separate computers on multiple wifi networks and it always pops up with an ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT issue or it just won't load anything and will be stuck on a loading screen!! I've tried calling the help line and it just goes around in circles of being passed from one person to another! I want to pay my bill so I'm not charged late fees, but this is making it impossible!
I don't know what to do, I've tried accessing my new account through the one email they sent me saying my "order is confirmed" but since it's through the same email as my old account it just pops up with my profile that only has the old account.

The Xfinity linked account is just horrible. I used to have 3 accounts and it was almost impossible to get them all linked. Now two are linked but it doesn't let me simply toggle over to the secondary account. It shows it as a linked account but then tells me I have to log out and log back in as the other account? What's the point of having them linked if you can't access under one log in? Horrible experience that makes me ill each time I deal with it.

SAME SAME SAME. This is so frustrating. I can't add anything to the complaints. I have two account numbers, two addresses, and I can't set the second internet account up. It keeps saying I have internet at my first address. Yes, I want to link accounts, but when I try to follow the instructions, different computer and phone and browsers, I get errored out. Set up a new xfinity id? Can't. XFINITY please work on this.

I'm having the same issue. when I click to "link" an account, the website never loads up and eventually gives an error. Chat isn't helpful and I can't even get anyone on the phone to help me with my issue. [Edited: "Language"]
