I had the same experience. This afternoon I blew two hours and spoke to three human representatives, in addition to dealing with a robot phone tree and Verizon's horrible website. Human rep number 3 told me that "60 days" should have been 90 days, and that I should allow 30 days for a card to go from Texas to Pennsylvania.  This really looks like bait-and-switch.

I am having the same issue! When a rep showed up in my apartment and persuaded me to switch from Comcast to Verizon, she promised me a $100 check and $50 Visa gift card. That was in August and I haven't seen any of them by now. Also, she promised me that with my TV plan(custom TV, I think), I can choose 2 packs without any additional charges and I can change them online for free. This week I contacted the online rep to switch my Sports Plus pack to Entertainment Pack since I needed TNT to watch some big games. Then guess what, I have to pay $10 per pack change for that. Surprise! And the online rep was very unfriendly BTW. I understand every cable/Internet company wants to charge every possible thing, but don't give me surprise like this. If you can't make it, don't promise it. Now I am having the check & gift card issue, then the pack change issue. Anybody can help me with them? Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

With the help from support team, I finally received my gift card. But when I tried to use it, I noticed that I needed the PIN to activate it. I never received the PIN from either email or mail. My case was closed due to non-response. Could you please help me with this?

Thank you!

Li

I am really disappointed that there this an entire thread dedicated to this issue.

My husband and I moved into our new house a little over a year ago.  We had used Comcast at our old apartment, but after hearing from a Verizon rep that we would receive a gift card for signing up, we eagerly left Comcast for Verizon.

A few months later, we still hadn’t received the gift card. When I called and spoke to a representative, they seemed confused and had no idea about the promotion. I was really frustrated, but by the end of he conversation the representative said after a few billing cycles I should see the gift card.

Well, it’s now been almost a year, and still no giftcard. My husband is really ticked, and we are frustrated for being misled and not having any resolution to this.
