$300 Visa gift card scam continues...at least seems so....

Honestly, I was sceptical at first, after reading all the "where is my $300 Visa card posts...

Then, at April25th, after calling the agent, and using the internet offer link, clearly showing the $300 visa offer (I have the screen shot of the offer when I was ordering Fios) I ordered Verizon Triple Play for $69.99 (Fios TV Select HD, Fios 15/5 internet, and Fios Digital Voice Unlimited) and signed up for 2-year agreement. 

I was doing everything step-by-step with the confirmation of the agent and she said I do not have to worry about the $300 Visa card, all I need to do is to use Fios for 60 days and make payments on time and then wait for 2-4 weeks for the card.

I specifically asked that order summary shows nothing about the card, so how I can prove it? She said since I was using the link with offer it automatically registers for the $300 Visa reward.

What a mistake that I trusted Verizon on this! God, I called 5 times and each time a different story: One person said they have issued credit to my account in the same amount, this is how I received the $69.99 deal a month for 2 years. And I tell them that the screen shot of the link is clearly shows that monthly payment and $300 Visa reward, and one has nothing to do with the other! Another time, they say, oh...ok it sounds fine..then they transfer me to rewards department: there you go, a trained person determined not to give you the promised reward tells me that I have a different deal, it is only for the monthly amount over $100. I, again refer the screen shot showing that the deal with $134.99 /month is for $400 visa, and mine is not it. Another time they say I got a different deal, there is no trace of $300 reward in my account...

Verizon guys, please, you do not need this.... this sort of bait-and-switch only hurts you...and in the long run, people will stay away... I switched to Verizon since I was sick and tired of Cable companies issues... now you will send me back to those guys... I assumed Verizon will fulfill, keep the promise...  We had a deal, and I did my part... I ordered using the link showing clearly there is a $300 prepaid Visa if I sign up for the triple play for two years.... and I did.... there should not be any "if", "but" etc... 

I need help to do this right...and I am actually very happy with my service... but I like to see the same in the ethical side...

I appreaciate if this issue is escalated to the agent level so I can rovide them with the proofs such as screen shots etc...

yes, in fact, i spoke to several people on the phone and was told the same "STORY" as the previous poster. i say "STORY" because it was as if they had a prearranged response; without any logic; the flyer i had before me, CLEARLY said I Was entitled to a 300.00 GIFT CARD as a BONUS to the discounted price if i signed a two year contract. THERE WAS NO OTHER INCENTIVE TO SIGN A TWO-YEAR CONTRACT.
