5G+ Amazon Gift Card Promo

Hello all, I will start with I am beyond frustrated with Verizon at this point. I got an email saying 5g home internet was finally available in my area and decided that for the price I would try it as a back up for my current home internet which tends to go down randomly during work hours.

At the time of signing up in October of 2024 there was a promo of if signing up for 5g+ the higher tier of service you could get 1 year of the Disney bundle (Disney premium no ads and Hulu with ads) free for one year and a 200 Amazon gift card. I signed up for the service on October 24th. During the check out process I got a random pop up that said cart sweetener deal, which added a 200 VZW gift card to the deal with activation.

 

Went through with signing up got the home modem, activated eventually saw on my account there was a pending rebate for the 200 VZW card but never saw anything on the Amazon card. Gave it a few more few now late November still nothing so I called into customer support. Long story short I spent almost 4 hours with multiple reps and none of them seemed to know what I was talking to about. Finally on the last one they were able to find it I guess and repush it and have me go through the process of claiming the rebate pending the wait terms.

 

Finally it seems like progress had been made. Then yesterday Thanksgiving 11/28 I get an email from VZW saying there was an update to my rebate please log in to check and when I get all it says was invalid rebate entry, rebate already claimed on another line which is funny because the line the rebate was submitted under was the new home internet line.

 

At this point I do not know what else to do. I am beyond frustrated with VZW  customer support, you get disconnected and have to start all over with someone new.

 

Also would like to mention with the Disney bundle I asked the rep how I can add Hulu premium to the Disney bundle and they said I had to cancel the Disney with Verizon then go to Hulu sign up for premium and then come back to Verizon and reactivate the Disney bundle on the line that was canceled and I would only pay the different for Hulu premium. I attempted them and ultimately when I came back to VZW to reactivate the bundle it was gone like it was never there. Again another huge let down from customer service.

I signed up for that deal and am having similar issues. The only thing I got an email about was the Verizon gift card, nothing for the Amazon one. I've chatted with a couple reps asking them if I'm still getting the Amazon card and they said I have to wait 60 days after service started to get that offer.  Uttheverizon gift card was just a couple days after is et it up, and it says it should be done processing any day now.

I still havent gotten resolution to this, I followed up with VZW support on 12/17and was told this is a widely known issue on all their promos they offer because they are only offered for a short time before changing to a new promo.

I was told by the support rep that they opened a support ticket with the back office folks as he called them and in 2-3 days I should get an email with directions to claim the Amazon Card, I also told him I lost the Disney plus promo after following the VZW steps to keep the Hulu premium I was already paying for separately which ultimately canceled my Disney plus promo and now if I try to add it back again following their steps it was to bill me for it.

I still have not received any follow up email from VZW on the Amazon Card or the Disney promo

 

This is such a disaster on VZW, almost a bai* and swit*h and then they play dumb and give you the run around. I see a lot of people complaining about the promo after this one where they were supposed to get an XBOX one and still have not seen anything.

Iโ€™m having the exact same issue with the Amazon gift card. I ordered service on October 25th and I had to contact support 4 times in order to get a promo code to claim the rebate and now itโ€™s in limbo. The processing date was supposed to be 12/17 but of course no updates have been made to it
