Three days ago, I received an unprompted email that I would receive HBO for FREE as a valued Verizon Fios customer until 12/31/2015. Since my 2 year agreement was due to end soon, I renewed my 2 year agreement online yesterday. But now when I tune to the channel or try to use HBOGO, I get a message that I am not subscribed to the channel. I reach out to Verizon through Chat which was pointless, so I called Customer Service. After talking with two representatives in different departments for over 45 minutes (mostly on hold), I was offered a discount on HBO. That isn't what I was calling for and it's not what I wanted. The worst part is, when I was renewing my contract online yesterday, the HBO promo was in my cart at checkout!!
This is very sketchy business from Verizon. I had HBO for less than 48 hours which is like a terrible practical joke. I don't know how I could penalized for renewing my contract. Isn't that what they want from us? I guess I will be a valued customer again in 23 months when my contract is almost up.
