Can't activate paramount/netflix +play promo

[enrohT55]

I can't get past "activating" Paramount+ for the Netflix/Paramount promo. I've successfully created an account and logged into Paramount+, but under manage play+ in verizon, it still won't show Paramount as activated, and Netflix still says "pending Paramount+ activation."

Anyone else having this issue?

Yeah, I have been trying to sign up for the paramount/netflix +play promo all day.  The link sends me to a flickering/hanging page. Problem with traffic on Verizon website?

[pevm]

Ok so using a different browser I was able to subscribe. Now like everyone else I was able to link Paramount+ but not Netflix. I get the same toggle that says activation pending, click that and then I get "We are processing your subscription. Please refresh or check back again to activate."

After a LOOOONG time on live chat I was told: The team is working on fixing it and you will be able to activate the subscription through the toggle switch after 72 hours. We are also reporting the issue to the concerned Verizon team through an AYS ticket.

Thanks for the information 

When an AYS ticket is opened in effect the resolution takes around 3 days.

Please feel free to send us a private message if you need further assistance.

I am having the same issue. Does everyone who is having this issue need to have a ticket opened, or is Verizon fixing it for everyone?

[arpo22]

Has anyone successfully activated this yet? I’m still stuck in the same place as everyone else.

Nope. Been having this issue for three days now with no help provided by verizon

I’m having the exact same issue. 2 hours over the phone with clueless agents. What should I do to get help??!!

[Toscano2023]

Hello, I have tried to speak to Verizon customer service and nothing seems to work. Is there a specific number or person I can call? 

[blockparted]

Talking to someone via the chat didn't do anything.   I've spoken to three different chat reps over the last 48 hours and I still cannot activate Paramount/Netflix on the verizon side.  

I am able to use Paramount Plus on the Paramount website/apps and they show that I'm using it via Verizon.  So it's NOT them. 

However, I want to use my current Netflix account, which the Verizon site says I should be able to do.  I've been billed for another month of service - something I was hoping to avoid by signing up for this service.  

Once again - like others here, I've done everything I was told to do, was walked through all the steps that the various reps showed me. 

This is clearly a problem on the Verizon end as none of us are seemingly able to toggle the "Off" to "On."

@vzw_customer_support 

Having the same issue, and I have sent a PM to customer support, but the replies are really laughable. They are not even reading the issue, and are suggesting completely irrelevant solutions.

Phone and Chat support have also been of zero help.

Can we get a statement that this is a recognized issue, and the steps (if any) required by the customer to resolve this?

Having the same issue. I paid for the year of Paramount+, but get the 'Activation pending' message in the dashboard for Netflix. It's been like that all afternoon. Talked to chat support and the only thing they did was read the 'Activation pending' message to me. That doesn't address the issue that I can't activate the year on my Netflix account

[vzw_customer_support]

Good evening TurnerDCEntury. We would love to help with this issue. Are you able to download the app? What error message are you seeing?-Joe

[bobwilson]

I  provided screenshots below.

No matter what buttons you click or toggles you try to turn On, "Activation Pending" is all we get. It has been more than 48 hours and nothing has changed.

And there is no way to link existing or create new Netflix account.

That’s the same flow I’m seeing. I spent 3hrs on chat with customer service and finally gave up. They had no useful suggestions outside of “try toggling it on for the 10th time”. At one point they even directed me to try enabling it in the app, which has no section for managing +play.
