Same problem here - except I was promised a $250 VISA card.  We signed up online in March 2014, ordered the required bundle, have paid all of our bills on time, but have heard NOTHING from the company regarding their keeping their promise to send out a prepaid card.  I can tell that with all the postings I've been reading that this is another giant corporate scam.  It appears that thousands of people are being denied what they were supposed to get or are simply being given the corporate run-around in the hope that they will simply give up.  Very clever, Verizon, but I suppose with your sad reputation for customer service, I should have expected nothing less.  Maybe you can dig real deep into your incredibly cash-lined pocket and give me what you said you would?

Hi asnyder112,

A private support case was opened for you when you posted this message earlier, but was closed because the support agents did not hear from you.  Would you like us to reopen the private support case for you?

I've had the same problem since I signed up online for 2 years of FIOS Internet, TV, & phone in February, 2014.  I was responding to an offer of $89.99/month for the first year and a $250 VISA prepaid card.  I have not received the VISA prepaid card and have spent considerable time (3 frustrating phone calls) trying to get Verizon to live up to this offer.  I still have the original promotion mailing and see the same promotion weekly in an ad bundle i receive via USPS.    Verizon's customer service takes forever to reach, says I didn't sign up for the $250 prepaid card offer, and gave me a hard time about escalating this issue.  Seeing all the complaints in the forums about this issue reaffirms my suspicion that this is a scam.

Verizon's default on the original offer, plus the surcharge for sports I never watch, plus the lack of TCM and PBS On Demand, the exasperating phone menu and website, extremely poor customer service, and annoying promotion phone calls and emails have convinced me that signing up for FIOS was a big mistake.

This issue has not been resolved.  Verizon customer service in the chat resulting from my original post gave me the same runaround that the phone customer service people gave me.  They all seem to be reading from the same dishonest script, where they say they are giving me a better deal with discounts that end up at the same $89.99/month promised.  This is definitely a scam.  How does one get Verizon to honor the offer, which I accepted in good faith?
