Visa Prepaid Card fraud

[bv112]

I got an offer in the mail from Verizon that promised a $100 Visa prepaid card if I got a new phone from Comcast.  I took advantage of the offer and got a new iPhone.  It arrived in October and I activated it then.  

The fine print on the offer says "Visa Prepaid Card mailed to account holder within 6 weeks of service activation."  It has now been 14 weeks and still no prepaid card.  I have called 3 times and every time I was told my request was "escalated," which I guess means "ignored."

My guess is that Verizon counts on people either forgetting about the offer or getting tired of bothering with it.  I am not one of those people.  If I don't get something in the next week, I'm going to the state Department of Consumer Affairs.  This is fraudulent marketing, pure and simple.
