Beware of complimentary HBO to get you to revew your contract

[sel5]

One of the incentives to renew our contract was free HBO for at least a year. Something told me that would not happen, especially after reading that it was not in our agreement.  I called back to make sure and was told by another rep that it was true, HBO free for at least a year.   It did not happen.   Reported the drop to a Verizon Advocate. She apologized and said they shouldn't have told me that.  She also said that she could not reinstate it.  Of course, she said I could pay for a subscription.  Apparently, the free HBO was just a shady tactic to get me to sign a new contract.
