Trade in credit not applying.

Hello! I am wondering if If anyone is having a similar issue.

I traded in my iPhone 13 and switched to Xfinity Mobile back in September of 2024. My partner had already had it so I had added to our plan. We both got new phones. I traded in my device via mail because the store said that I could not drop it off there, (even though the terms and conditions said I could) So I bought the special boxes and shipped them with the label that Assurant had sent me, and I NEVER got my credit for it. I did send it in before the deadline (October 11th) I waited hours for customer service just for someone to tell me they'd find me a discount and they never did and never even addressed my issue. I also had to payout the remaining balance of my old phone ($150) - which wasn't supposed to happen.

I WOULD NOT HAVE TRADED IN MY PHONE IF I WASNT GOING TO GIVE THE $1000 CREDIT THEY QUOTED ME. I was fine with my old phone and then I received the offer and decided to take it. Now, I can't even get my old phone back. I am so frustrated and disappointed.  Please advise because an extra $42 a month on my bill is hardly within my reach right now.

I am finding this is a VERY common issue and unfortunately I cannot find any posts that ever say they were able to get it resolved.  I am in the same situation going back to October as well.  I have an open ticket with Xfinity since December 29th with no feedback other than "we are working on it".  This shouldn't be so hard.   They have been offering mobile service for 8 years and don't have trade-ins figured out yet?  I am trying to be patient but everytime I receive a new bill with no credits, it drives me crazy.  I got the typical "direct message" us just like you did below.  It is a very slow, back and forth process for Xfinity to respond and again, I was told "they are working on it".  Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a way to escalate my problem with anyone at Xfinity and it is super frustrating.  Good luck to you!

Xfinity could not be worse.  I traded 6 phones in last Oct 7 of 2024 and have yet to get a single credit.  I have spent counless hours trying to get my credit with 0 luck.  This is costing me $240 a month.  I filed an FCC Complaint and another with the Attorney Generals consumer fraud division.  If anyone is thinking of switching to xfinity do not.  P.S. At somepoint their has to be a class action suit.  If anyone discovers one please post it.
