Account split after adding internet - platinum tier status incorrectly reset

I have been a continuous customer and have earned my platinum tier status. Recently, I added home internet to my existing services. Instead of adding it seamlessly, the automated system generated an entirely separate, second account number under my profile.

​A representative told me that because internet is now my 'core,' my tenure is reset and I am considered a new customer. This directly violates Xfinity's written policy stating that the longest-tenured account determines the household rewards tier.

Hi there, @user_jxjp9b. Thanks for reaching out to us here on the Community Forum. It sounds like a second, new account was created here. When that happens, you're considered a new customer and the Member Rewards tier is adjusted accordingly. We can fix it by cancelling the new account and restarting your old account and rates. 


Please send a direct message to us including your full name and complete street address.

 

 

Here's the detailed steps to direct message us:

1-Click "Sign In" if necessary.

2-Click the "Direct Messaging" icon.

3-Click the "Start new conversation" (pencil and paper) icon.

4-In the "To:" line, type "Xfinity Support".

5-As you type, a drop-down list will appear. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list.

6-An "Xfinity Support" graphic will replace the "To:" line.

7-Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window.

8-Press Enter to send it.

So because I got home internet u guys consider me a new customer? And to fix it I have one any benefit I'm getting under this plan? That doesn't seem right at all. How do I become worth less when adding a service. Sounds like a backend glitch.

@user_jxjp9b, there should be one account per customer, per address. You mentioned you were a continuous customer and adding home internet to your existing service. This should include your tenure as a member. From what you mentioned, a second account was created mistakenly. A new account is considered a new customer in our system. We can investigate to see what happened and get your existing account reinstated with an eligible internet rate. Please send us a direct message with the directions I provided in my previous response to get started. Thanks!

user_jxjp9b We have always had new customer exclusive offers, and our offers online do show they are for new customers when not logged in. When logged in, you would only see the pricing you would be eligible for. Just like when you signed up with us the first time, I am sure you also got a great offer that you were able to take advantage of. 

Let us know if you would like to revert to your old account to resume your customer tenure.

Well first off, I called in when I got the internet and informed the agent I had services already and we were adding internet. U guys made the mistake not me. No my questions have not been answered nor has there been a resolution in about a month now. I'm sorry but I told the agent I had wireless services when I called. Ur agent messed up my account and now I don't have access to rewards, my financing eligibility, I pretty much can't do anything on the app except pay my bill. I am not a new customer but u all keep treating a 8 year customer like I'm fresh in the door. Fix it!
