Never Received my $250 Gift Card

i was promised one in the form of my $250 visa gift card they told me it would come in about 3 months and i'm getting very irritated with the quality of verizon and how little they answer their phones and how much work it is to just get to an actual person. 

i am highly upset, and i'd like my gift card.

And also Verizon has raised my bill a countless amount of times and they are completely unfair to customers and it's starting to create a split in my household i would like my $250 visa card or i CAN TAKE VERIZON TO COURT FOR FALSE ADVERTISEMENT.  Shame on verizon for their horrible customer service nothing has improved in the last years you all are still bad at service and keeping customers.

I have had the exact same problem! We ordered the "Triple Play" in early March exclusively to receive the Verizon $250 prepaid card- otherwise we would have ordered the "Double Play."  We have not gotten the promised card, rather, we are being told by multiple customer service representatives that there is "nothing we can do" because there is "no record." 

This is extremely disappointing, Verizon.  I , too, and completely shocked by the rudeness and lack of customer service of the Verizon employees. It seems like they will say anything to get your business, and then not follow through. If this is not resolved this month, we will be canceling our service.

*Note that there are many people with this same problem on the Support message boards!*

Hi doctorderwin,

You stated that Verizon has given you a time frame on when you should expect to receive your gift card.  Is the card late?  If so, when should you have received it?

The Person i talked to ( i forget their name) said two months into the service i would be recieving  a card. That was march 4th, now it's almost july and still not a single thing. i'd just like to have the card and stop dealing with verizon's lack of customer assistance.

Hello LawerenceC.

Can you also escalate my issue to a Verizon agent please. I signed up on April 1, 2014 and still have not received my $250 VISA Gift Card. I will do your standard "Copy Paste Script" as soon as you let me know that my problem has been addressed.

Thank you.

Hello MickeyM

You should first check the status of your card here: http://teleproducts.verizon.com/promo/  and depending what that says, you will need to contact Verizon directly.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I'm saying, that is the only reason i ever considered the triple play i wanted just the double because i don't need a home phone and not to mention they had made another whole bill and complete had a differnet home number then the one i currently had and i had to  ventrue from hell and back to get in contact with the right people to get the bill fixed and refunded to my account.

We also never received our visa card - no communications at all about it.  I chatted online and called multiple times and there is no information on it.  I was transferred multiple times and referred to the rebate provider.  We ordered our service from a door to door rep that promised we would get the $250 visa card.  We don't know if he made a mistake or tried to deceive us.  My profile shows a 24 month contract.  No one would agree to such a contract without getting something for it.  We would have never left Time Warner if we knew that we would have such a bad experience.  At least they had a local office that you could go to if you had a problem.

Thank you for your reply Art!  I am sorry you could not resolve the problem with the gift card. I understand that I am not the only person with your represenative pulling the same bait $ switch sign up. I have his written paper stating that the card would be included with a 2 year sign up. What I need from you is the address of Verizon, to file a claim in small claims court in the Town of Tonawamda NY. I am also calling "newspower " so that this becomes public thus preventing other people from being thicked by this fraud.
