Verizon BYOD online ordering is a fraud !

A couple of months ago, I purchased three lines, and 2 out of it supposed to be with the BYOD deal. All the transaction was online. Finally, I waited 2-3 months for information from Verizon regarding the BYOD. The online ordering experience was awful, and I have not received any paper or even a sim card. I had to reach out to customer service to set up an e-sim card that finally worked.
3-4 weeks ago, I reached out to customer service for the BYOD deal and got the information that my online order was not for the BYOD deal. It seems that I have just ordered three lines without any deal! That's crazy! Customer service opened a case and told me they would come back to me within 10-15 days. So far I have got no news from them. I don't have time for this. I think that Verizon is doing this on purpose, the BYOD is a fraud, and they try their utmost to prevent people from getting it.
I am open to any advice on this.

I have had the same experience. I was told today two months after I signed up online and went to the store for support that I should have called within 30 days to activate the rebate. I was never notified by email about that step in the process neither did the in-store representative disclose that information. I have been told that if I cancel my service with V I won't be penalized. I'm about to find out!

It is fraud. They know it. I brought three devices. They promised the rebate. Then they never sent an email, never included a link, but furthermore their rep told me there was nothing for me to do. It's purely bait to get customers.

We need to look outside of Verizon for resolution. They reneged on our rebate too.
