Very dishonest way of doing business. Verizon won't give me my 300 dollar reward card.

[mishun]

I signed up with verizon for 79.99 for 2 year contract plus $ 300 visa reward card. When I signed up there were two options. 79.99 with no annual contract and 79.99 with 2 year contract plus $300 visa reward card. Now after nearly 3 months when I called today to inquire about my reward card, they flat out said there was no information on my account regarding that matter. I even spoke to a supervisor and she kept saying I got into contract for lower monthly price. I just can not make them understand that there were two options for exact same price and only difference was that I would get $ 300 visa card with 2 year agreemenet. What would I do? Is there any legal action can be taken? This is a dishonest way of doing business.

I was given a Verizon Wireless Gift Card as a gift from my mother-in-law and have been trying to apply the card to my bill for about a month now. I have tried calling the number on the gift card, I have tried using the #GIFT option on my mobile phone, I have visited two different stores because the one by my house said they didn't have the software on their kiosk to apply the gift card. I drove over 30 minutes to the other store and they ended up putting me on the phone with a representative who claimed his computer terminal wasn't working properly (excuse me? then why are you taking calls???)

The card specifically says I can use it to pay my bill. The catch, I'm finding, is that I'm being penalized for having a One-bill account. Verizon Wireless says they can't do anything because I have One-bill. Verizon FiOS can't help me because it is a Verizon Wireless gift card. The agent on the phone yesterday told me that two different supervisors told her the gift card cannot be applied to my bill even though the card specifically says it can.

I have been a Verizon customer for over 20 years and this is how loyal customers get treated.  I cannot wait until my contract is up for renewal.

I had the same exact issue. When I  a called couple of weeks ago for the inquiry, that's what they told me too. But I also signed up for the same promotion. I wouldn't have done a 2 year contract then. if I could get the same price without doing so. I've been with verizon for a long time, even manage my mom's and church's bill. I make the financial suggestions for them all. I've already decided not to deal with them anymore. I plan on breaking my contract and go to cablevision. They'll pay my cancellation fees too. If you have bad customer service, once you loose me, you'll never get me back.

Hi sistaittybitty,

Sorry you are having difficulty. An agent with access to your account will reach out to you directly by email, private message in the Forums and/or the billing telephone number on your Verizon account for more information or to help you resolve your issue.

Its amazing how many times they have told you that it is excalated to an agent, but I am assuming they will never actually contact you. Good luck. My experience is just as weird, but I still have 28 days to cancell.
