Complaint Regarding Removal of AutoPay Discount Without Notice

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing to formally complain about the removal of my AutoPay discount without prior notice and the handling of my subsequent customer service inquiry.

For several months, I have consistently received a $2.00 AutoPay discount while paying with a credit card. However, my January 2026 bill did not include this discount. When I contacted customer service to inquire, I was informed that as of January 1, 2026, the policy changed and that AutoPay discounts now require payment via a checking account to receive a $10.00 discount.

I specifically asked whether customers had been notified of this policy change and was told that no notifications were sent, despite the change directly affecting billing amounts. While still on the call, I updated my AutoPay information to a checking account and requested a $2.00 courtesy credit on my February bill due to the lack of notification.

After several minutes, the representative stated that she was unable to apply the credit because it would “show as an invalid discount.” I then requested to speak with a supervisor and was repeatedly told that a supervisor would also be unable to apply the credit. I find it highly concerning and frankly suspect that no one within the organization has the authority to apply a modest $2.00 adjustment under these circumstances.

I am a long-time customer and find it both disappointing and disrespectful that a billing change was implemented without notice and that a reasonable courtesy adjustment was denied, despite my immediate compliance with the new policy.

I am requesting a $2.00 credit to my account to correct this issue and acknowledgment that proper notice should be provided for future policy changes that impact customer billing.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I look forward to a prompt resolution.

Hi user_eqtugu! Thanks for visiting our Xfinity Forum. We value and appreciate you being a customer with us, and please know my team is always here to support you with your service needs. I can confirm that customers were notified about the removal of the $2 monthly discount for automatic payments set up on a credit or debit card via a bill message. This change took effect starting December 2025, and customers were encouraged to switch their automatic payment method to a stored bank account to receive a discount of $10 per month for paperless billing.

 

I would be more than happy to get your account pulled up and review which billing statement displayed this message. Please send us a Direct Message. Here are the detailed steps to direct message us:

@user_eqtugu Anytime there is an upcoming change to billing it is printed on your billing statement a month or two before the change takes effect. If you are unable to find it, our team would be more than happy to help you review the bills to locate it. Just send us a DM via the directions my colleague provided.

While this may be considered a notification, but with autopay enabled, I do not routinely check my bill unless the amount changes. If there is a change to my bill, I consider a text or email notification to be appropriate. Xfinity sends me multiple emails every week, yet none indicated a price change for my account. For this reason, I believe a courtesy credit is not out of the question.
