Gift card lies and terrible customer service

[Makatos]

I signed up for my Verizon service the end of October I believe 10/26. I was told my the fios representative that she wouldn't waive the activation fee but would give me a $150 gift card instead. She said it would take up to two weeks to receive it. I was also told if I installed everything myself I would receive a $50 dollar gift card. This gift card I was told I would receive in 3-5 business days. I called the fios representative I signed up with last Thursday to resolve the issue. I was told to check my email for an email with a PDF from Verizon that I need to fill out and then wait two weeks to receive my $150 gift card. I checked my email and after verifying I never received it, I was told the email would be sent to me after our phone call. I then asked about the self installation gift card and was told I needed to wait till Monday (today) to learn why I haven't received it. I was told I would either get an email or a phone call explaining why I haven't received it and when I should expect it. It is around 9:30 PM, I never received the email I was told I would be sent after the phone call referencing the $150 gift card nor have I received an email or a phone call today referencing the $50 gift card. As of this point I have been patiently waiting for the gift cards I was told I would receive. After an excessively long time of waiting, well beyond the timeframe I was told to wait, and terrible customer service from the fios representative. I am feeling **bleep** and mislead. I need prompt resolution on this matter.

I've used the chat and provided my account information to the right people. I was advised to make this post to let the forum people know this.
