Email for Free XFi Pod
Xfinity sent me an email saying that since I subscribe to XFi Complete Wifi service, they have completed a "review"of my sytstem, that I am eligible for a free XFi Pod at no extra cost, click on the link. Then on the Comcast website it says that I am NOT eligible for the free Pod. Which is it? Is the email a scam from Comcast trying to to get me to buy the Pod?

Hello, @sage598. We run a 14-day WiFi assessment when you get xFi Complete. We send out an email to let you know the test is running and again when it is completed. When it is completed the results will show an xFi Pod is recommended and how to redeem that at no cost or we did not find issues meaning an xFi Pod is not needed and the link if you would like to purchase one anyway. We are happy to check on your testing and the results as well as help if you are experiencing any connectivity issues.

Joseph, i just got the same email and when I signed it it also comes up ineligible. Support pointed me to this forum and I cannot send you a DM here.

Update: The community forum representatives can't help you. You need to call the comcast number and go through prompts to internet technical support and keep saying that until you get a person. I called yesterday and they said I will have the xFi pod in two weeks.

I just spent yet more time (about an hour) today alone on phone and chat with more reps. The call service rep said that it's only for those with "Complete" which now won't be rolled out until "sometime 2022". I feel like based upon the other person above getting theirs in "2 weeks" that there is some disconnect or some kind of backpedaling. My email sent on Friday 2/19th afternoon didn't mention ANYTHING about an upgrade or change to "complete". It said 'we evaluted your use and you are eligible' with a link to "redeem your pods" - after signing in, it says I'm not eligible. The rep went onto say that the email/info they have they got just "last night" (2/22) mentions this "update".
This is a HUGE mis-step for xfinity and those who got the email should automatically be sent Xfi Pods.

At least you got an email... lol. I have had fiber for 2 weeks. Unless I am literally within 5ft of the Xfi, I get maybe 75 mbps down.. Got my email that the eval was complete and I have awesome speeds! Every time I have tried to contact support, I give up on hold after 45 minutes or get the message that wait times are too long and I can't use chat.
