Beware - Verizon will not honor their Life time agreements if you make equipment changes

A few years ago Verizon had a program that 3 digital adapters where free for life for customers that where with them when they converted from Analog to digital. I was one of those customers. Now when I decided to give their Multi-room DVRs a try, I being charged for the Digital Adapters. When I talked to customer support they said that the system 'erased" the code when I ordered the new equipment and they are unable to reenter the code. So they will only give me a $10 credit for 12 months. So everyone that has a "Lifetime" offer, beware. "Lifetime" is only as long as Verizon feels like supporting the "code"

Have you considered contacting your local Better Business Bureau? If you're keeping all the Digital Adapters (3) you've kept your side of the bargain, no matter what you "add".

Hi ScottWeaver

Sorry you are having difficulty, an agent with access to your account will reach out to you directly by email, private message in the Forums and/or the billing telephone number on your Verizon account for more information or help you resolve your issue.

I found out the hard way that Verizon  doesnt know what the  meaning of lifetime ??  I exchanged a faulty digital adapter  and got a new one. Not at one time did the person say  that i would be charged for the 3 i have. I get my bill for an extra $ 50.00 for the the three adapters.   They should tell people so they  have a choice rather then being suprised with new bill. As a matter of fact  there person at  verizon store  said they would call me to give me a  new plan to save me money and renew. I never heard back from them.  With all this nickle and  diming verizon is wondering why i wont renew with them. I will send in a complaint to the BBB  and i will check verizon competetion to see what deals i can get. If anyone had  luck gettng  there adapters free for lifetime let me know.

In case  Verizon doesnt know the definition of Lifetime i found it and posted it below:

noun
1.
the time that the life of someone or something continues; the term of a life:
peace within our lifetime.
2.
Physics. mean life.
adjective
3.
for the duration of a person's life:
He has a lifetime membership in the organization.
