FIOS prepaid card activation

Hello,

I've read many messages about people not getting their reward card.   I've actually recieved mine, but it refers to a PIN number that I was emailed AND mailed, and I can't activate the card without it.  I called the number on the back of the card for help, however I was on hold for 35 minutes and didn't actually get to speak with a person, so here I am.   Is someone able to re-send me the PIN number?  I would like to be able to activate my card.

Thanks.

Andy

It's kinda hard to talk to a real person, when they constantly hang up on you.  And live agent is never available.

My pin came on a fold over postcard that I originally took for a worthless ad.  Almost tossed it as it came before the letter with the prepaid visa card.

If you use Outlook to deliver your email and don't access Verizon Web Mail regularly, you may still have the email within Verizon Web Mail...pending your Outlook settings for deletion from their servers.  The subject at least for my reward was "Important information regarding the status of your Verizon Reward".  The PIN is contained within the body of the email

I at least never got an email with a pin.

I got my card.

I got my PIN.

I called the number to use the PIN to activate the card.  

I got some spam answer which said the number had changed, then  tried to sell me something,  The generic Verirzon number was then given as a replacement.  

Replacing a PIN activation number with a spam number seems very sleazy to me.  

Changing a PIN activation number without providing a replacemnent activation number also seems very sleazy to me.  

Am I missing something?

What do I need to do to activate my card?  The instructions provided by Verizon are incorrect.

I received my prepaid welcome bonus visa card for $100, however whenever I go to activate it, it says.. you're over the 60 days, it's no longer available.  I already have it, why send if you won't activate.  False advertisement.  So twice we've called customer service, I sat on the phone with an agent for 45 min, she transferred and was hung up on.  A couple days ago, my boyfriend called, sat on the phone on hold for 35 min, and was hung up on.  Verizon has the WORST customer service I've ever dealt with, I mean, do they hire kids?  Constant problems with them.  Anyone else having this issue?

So  i guess im some one else experiencing this same issue. Which saddens me beause its been 4 years now. So they are CLEARLY having issues with this system. I havent been able to get it to work for DAYS now. I called the customer service number, only for the representative to tell me that  there was nothing she can do, and I needed to wait  for more days after to call again.. This is a mess.

Has anyone ever gotten an answer to this problem of having a card without a pin? I too have a $200 card with no pin. I saw anwers saying to contact Verizon but as anybody who has ever tried to contact Verizon knows, its impossible to get a live person. Its like saying please contact God for your pin number. Its definately a scam that should be reported to get people to sign up.
