Lied to by multiple chat agents, and possibly hacked

I am beyond frustrated and very concerned about Xfinity's chat agents. When I set up my wifi plan, I talked to an agent over the phone and she was great. She set me up on a student plan which meant it was discounted and I would be receiving a gift card for signing up and would get it in a couple days at the most. Fast forward more than a couple days I never received the gift card. I figured I would reach out to the live chat and it would be a simple solution. It was not. The first chat agent I talked to seemed to not fully understand what the problem was but then all the sudden said I would receive the gift card in 24-48 hours. I never got anything. So I reached out to the chat again and after talking to an agent for a while they transferred me to a different team/agent. That agent said I would receive the gift card in 24 hours (mind you the first agent said I would get a text that I needed to confirm and then would get an email with the code, the second agent just said I would get an email). And, the agent said they created a ticket and gave me the ticket ID. There was no ticket on my account. And I could not find any proof of the ticket and am pretty sure they just gave me a fake ID. So after it had been more than 24 hours I contacted the chat again. This time I was connected with an agent who kept telling me to "keep the chat active" while they were working on it for like 20 minutes. They finally said I would receive the gift card in 10 days. I asked why I was getting such different information from everyone and they said there is a "glitch" in my account. I asked how I am supposed to know the status of this request and they said they created a ticket. After me poking around more trying to make sure something was actually being done (and the agent seemingly getting annoyed with me asking basic questions) the agent sent me a ticket ID (surprise, it was another fake ID and there is no ticket on my account). The agent then proceeded to say they were adding a "promotion" to my account for the troubles and also tried to sell me a mobile line. I said no to the mobile line and also never received any "promotion". At the end of the chat I was pretty fed up and the agent asked me to rate them 1-10 (which I found odd because the robot after the chat ends asks that, so why were they asking me now?) I just ended the chat without a rating, because frankly it wouldn't have been a good one. About 30 seconds after I ended the live chat, I began to get spammed with xfinity codes to my mobile phone back to back. I was not requesting any codes. The codes stopped for a minute, and then my wifi went completely out. I was able to go change my password, although it took a while because I have almost no cell service in my home. A minute or two after I changed my password the wifi came back on. I am extremely concerned about the integrity of these chat agents, and the fact that so many people on this forum are having similar experiences. And after all of those chats I haven't actually received any help, just fake ticket codes and blatant lies. I would call/go into a store but I am currently sick and have lost my voice, hence why I was trying to solve this over chat. And it is not about the gift card anymore (it hasn't been for a while!), I am just wildly concerned about this service and that my account may have been hacked, and I cannot get any help because the "help" are the scammers!

Concern moved here to the Customer Service help section for greater exposure to Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.
