Promised credit on bill not appearing

I called Verizon this past August to see if there were any deals on Iphone 8s. I was told that they had one whereby if I bought one I could pay $350 down and be charged a certain amount per month for 24 months but that I would receive a credit for the same amount as long as I remain a verizon customer. I was even told which verizon store to go to in order to pickup my phone.

The first month went by and I was charged for the phone installment with no credit. I called *611 and asked about this and I was told it takes a couple of months before the credits kick in and the first month they kick in it would be retroactive.

My next month will be the 4th month since I purchased the phone. I called *611 again and suddenly nobody knows anything about this promotion. I've been on hold for almost 2 hours while they research the promotion. I'm about ready to return the phone.

There was no 8s   Perhaps you mean 8 plus?

Did you add a new line?  The deals in August were to add a line and get credits making iPhone 7 free of iPhone 8 only 5 to 10 a month.  we also had to be on unlimited data plan

Hmm.  Credits on my mom's phone were on my first bill.  You didn't meet requirements.

The return period is 14 days, so that ship sailed.   
They have to do their job, which is suggestive sell, just like McDonalds asks if you want fries.  But you have to do your part, which is know and follow the requirements.    I switched in, and read the website, and knew the 2 major requirements were unlimited data plan and a new line for the free phone.
