I received a very nice letter from you today. As a decades-long Verizon customer, I appreciate the note. There is little question Verizon's quality of service is quite good and that is why we have been such long term customers. However, since you wrote to me as Director of Customer Loyalty, I want to let you know you most definitely are a failure. We would jump to another provider in a second if my community allowed another quaility service provider in my town. Verizon offers tremendous deals to attract new customers such as $80 for 150/150Mbps service plus HBO plus multi-room DVR. How nice! In fact, I was hit with this offer when I opened the Verizon website just now. But how about us long-term loyal customers? No, sorry, no thank you. We have nothing for you. Well, sir, I am so very tired of being taken for granted. When we have another option--and you must know it is just a question of time--we will be very happy to move to another provider despite the lovely note we received from you today. If you truly want to keep us, Verizon should treat us with the same urgency as new customers.
Thank you for your consideration.
Oh, and by the way, I would have responded to you directly if I had the option but, since Verizon hides contact information for any actual live employees, I am forced to share my frustrations with other customers on this forum. Another Verizon accomplishment.
I too received your Thank You note in the mail today - how nice to use my subsciber money on the printing and postage! I assumed when I started to read it that it would have some kind of Coupon or Free Premium or Upgrade included for my years and years of loyalty but no, it is just a waste of trees that I paid for.
Mr Michael Cingari, I am a long time loyal customer over 20 years and a senior citizen, I have been trying to lower my bill with customer service and recently the bill increased over $10.00 more. New offers donโt apply for existing customers. I received a thank you post card from you for my long customer service. I am satisfied with Fios but to reduce my payments I am forced to sign up with Comcast Offers.
Well I also received a letter from you. I would like to know what it means to be Director of Customer Loyalty. You see I have been with Verizon for more than 10 years and my bill keeps on going up and up and up. I called many times to try to reduce it but everytime I am told at this time there is no special for us. But if you are a new customer you get quite a deal. You see I love verizon and I am please with your service but I am not please with your prices. So I have few options available to me. I will be looking into them and find someone else who cares more for their customer than you do. Oh by the way my son who loves next door to me feels the same way. So instead of one customer you will lose 2. But I am sure it won't bother you. Have a wonderful day.
Couple of comments:
1) This is mainly a peer to peer support forum. Verizon doesn't monitor these posts.
2) Unfortunately, it is quite common amongst all providers to offer great deals to new customers and not much for existing. Don't be surprised after your first contract expires, you don't get much of a deal there either.
I received your letter the other day. It was quite ironic that it arrived when it did. I am extremely upset with the way I have been treated over this past week. i have been a customer of verizon for many years. I wanted to speak to you directly, however, noone would put me threw to your office. so, without getting into to much of my situation. I want to say that I have never been treated so poorly in all my life. I must have spent at least two hours total being switched from one department to the next. Then once I assumed all of my issues were addressed and taken care of, I find that all the things that I was told did not happen. So, I again had to call several times to speak to more people in more departments. Needless to say my issues are worse now then they were when I started this whole mess. It would be greatly appreciated if you could call me to discuss this aweful situation. I hope that you read the community forum and take pride in your customers like your postcard has stated. Also if there is anyone out here that knows how I can get in touch with Mr. Cingari I would really like to get in touch with him. At this point I am not even sure that I want to continue my services with verizon. I dont like being told one thing only to find out that it was just all talk and no action. I believe that all companies should follow through with what they are telling their customers.
Sincerly
ps feel free to email me thank you

Dear Mr. Cingari, or anyone else at Verizon who might see this. I would also like to obtain some assistance in having a significant matter resolved with my account. I have been a loyal Fios customer for several years and would like to remain so in the future. However when I last negotiated my contract I was blatantly lied to by an online Verizon employee, who quoted me a different contract price than the one I am being billed. Each time I have contacted Verizon for assistance in resolving this matter, I am told there is nothing Verizon can do. I have saved documented evidence of the false claims made by the Verizon employee, yet no one has been willing to review the document. Any assistance that you could provide in resolving this and ensuring your staff provides respectful, honest information would be greatly appreciated!

Dear Mr. Cingari,
This is a belated acknowledgement of your Thank You note sent this past summer. It was refreshing and unexpected. From a marketing standpoint, I appreciated both the succinctness of your message and quality of the stationary used, which is why I opened the letter, instead of dismissing it as junk mail.
In adding my comment to this forum, I was surprised that others used your note of appreciation as a gateway to voice dissatisfaction. I guess that your note provided an opportunity to share a concern, which is always a good thing.
While many recipients have not acknowledged your note, I want to assure you that it left a good feeling for those who read it.
Mr Michel Cingari: few days ago i received a nice letter from you : special renewal offer ... considering that i am verizon customer for many years... i had a lot of expectations about the new contrat.... but the reality hit my face when i did call verizon customer service looking for a new deal ... at the of the day i have to pay more but i have around 30 less channels.... the customer service representative just did not tell me the truth .... and for that reason i accepted the new contract for 2 years but i knew about it after i just signed .... am really upset being cheated ... but what it is more sad is the fact that i am a loyal customer .... right now am looking for another options ..... do you know mr Cingari about what is really happen outside of your office ??? .... is amazing the verizon policy ..... new customer are more important than loyal customer ...
Add me to the list of cheated customers.
I received a letter from Mike Cingari and the offer included showtime for two years.
I did not receive it and customer service stated that it is too bad, they will do nothing.
I am posting the letter in the hopes that others will not be cheated by Mike's bait and switch.
There is no customer loyalty program at Verizon, do not renew a 2 year agreement.
The offers are not valid and will not be honored.

I received a very nice letter from you last week. As a decades-long Verizon customer (14 years) I appreciate the note. There is little question Verizon's quality of service is quite good and that is why we have been such long term customers. However, since you wrote to me as Director of Customer Loyalty, I want to let you know your FIOS customer relations personnel and their inability to listen to the customers are a failure. We plan jump to another provider (COX) in my community. Verizon offers tremendous deals to attract new customers such as $80 for 150/150Mbps service plus HBO plus multi-room DVR. How nice! In fact, I was given a similar offer when I opened the account in 2004; but how now long-term loyal customers are expected to pay more for less. I am told "No, sorry, no thank you. We have nothing for you." Well, sir, I am so very tired of being taken for granted. When we have another option--and you must know it is just a question of time--we will be very happy to move to another provider despite the lovely note we received from you today. If you truly want to keep us, Verizon should treat us with the same urgency & respect as new customers.
I was lied to on June 26, 2018 when I was told my existing service would be continued at the monthly rate of $154.64; but, the rate was increased some twenty-one dollars. I was virtually told that they would not give me a copy of the conversation without me going to court & subpoena the records.
Presently, I have a disconnect order on my account effective November 12th. You leave me no options because every time I call and try to work out an agreement I get told a different story on services and/or price. I hope you, personally, can intervene and direct a fair resolution to resolve the issue(s).
Thank you for your consideration.
The letter you received is computer generated. Totally for psychological purposes.
new customers get inducements. Or perks. Older more established customers are looking for a stable price across the board. But like any business costs rise so customers must pay those costs. General business 101 in practice.
now you allude to wanting to switch, well you could do that but if you have a shut off pending for non payment it is doubtful that Cox internet is going to let you have service for free.
you could simply get new customer pricing by putting the service in a family members name other than your own. But make sure they can pass a hard pull credit check.
you then get two years of low stable pricing and you can swap back in two years to get the lower pricing again.
so the choice is yours.
I recieved your nice letter for being a Fios customer. For the past month I have been looking for a new contract. The new contract offered me would have raised me price $11 a month and I would lose HBO nad Showtime. Twice when I called about this I was told I was better off going month to month and have a $10 increase and keep my current package. Every time I tell this to someone they have a big laugh. I am retired and on a fixed income (Fios doesn't recognize senior citizens) If I get another raise I will be leaviing Verizon for Optimum even with the slower top speed.
I know you sold Fios in Florida and Texas. If Verizon wants to get out of the business
do it.
