About 6 mos. ago I got a phonecall from Verizon asking if I woudl like HBO free for 6 mos. The person said the "complimentary subscription" would automatically end on Oct. 1 2015 and if I liked the service I could add it to my list of account services. If I did not want to continue the service I needed to do nothing.
So I opted to get the service. It turned out the only thing I watched on HBO was House of Cards (of course), and when that was over I pretty much forgot about it. But from time to time I would check out what was playing on the HBO channels. I happened to do that last night (Friday, 02 Oct 2015) and discovered HBO was still active.
This got me concerned since I do not want to have HBO added to my list of billed services. So around 9PM California time I had an online chat with a person at the Verizon website. He told me that my latest Verizon bill would state when my complimentary HBO subscription expired. I checked, and there is no such information on the bill. I told him I did not want to be billed for the service, but he said he was unable to change anything in my account and that to make a change I had to contact Verizon Customer Service during businees hours on a normal business day.
So now I have to wait until Monday to contact Verizon. I hope they haven't already billed me for a month of HBO service, becuase if they have I'm sure it will be be a time-consumning hassle to get that charge reversed.
