Am I getting SCAMMED? Where's my code for the $100 Trade in Offer?

I recieved emails for the entire month of September - "Trade in your old phone for a Smart Phone and recieve a $100 visa gift card."
So I thought about it and on Friday September 30th, I went down to my local Verizon Store to upgade my phone.
I was eligiable in May of 2011 for the two year upgrade.  The Verizon representative checked my phone and my account and said that I was eligible for BOTH the two year upgrade AND the $100 Trade-In promotion.
I upgraded to the LG Enlighten (my first smartphone) and added (for the first time) a 2 Gig Data package.
I was told it would take 3 to 5 business days to recieve a TEXT or EMAIL from Verizon with a CODE to begin the TRADE-IN process.
Wll October 7, 2011 (5 full business days) came and went...and guess what?
NO CODE!!!!
Why?
So I called Verizon customer service and was told to call 866-870-5445 (the Trade-In Center). Well guess what? They're closed. Only open Monday through Friday.
Now I am reading all these posts where Verizon is not sending people codes, losing phones and giving less than the $100 credit and boy is it making me MAD.
How hard is it to send a text message with the CODE?  Why don't I have it?  They have the right EMAIL on file.  I've confirmed it three times now...and still no code.
Just TXT it to my NEW PHONE!...same number and Verizon knows it.  What's the problem?
I'm not happy about this.  This needs to be handled much better.

In case any of you didn't see my first post this is the latest on my $100 Trade In Gift Card Nightmare:

I never received an email, phone, letter or any other correspondence from Verizon regarding the 2nd phone we sent in so I started calling them.
First call 12/5/11:VerizonÂ… havenÂ’t received phone yet. I gave them the tracking number as I was tracking it online myself. It was delivered in September! Apology for the delay it will be processed and mailed to you tomorrow 12/6/11. NO CARD, NO EMAIL, NO PHONE CALL.
Second call 1/11/12 Verizon: it went to the wrong department but we will submit the request and have it mailed out to you with in the next 24 to 48 hours. (I verified the same person, at the same address, signed for the receipt of my returned phone) NO CARD, NO EMAIL, NO PHONE CALL.
Third call 1/17/12 Verizon: (this is now the 5th person I have talked to) I get transferred to “STERLING” a so called “supervisor” in the Trade In Department in Nashville. I am, again, told the phone was sent to our donation department so we can not send you the $100. He was rude and arrogant and I finally hung up on him.
In a rage I sent 4 emails, one right after the other, to the "Contact Us" email on their web page threatening a Class Action Suite!. (sorry I didn't copy and paste them to word and save them) The next day I got this email email.

Good evening Jody ,
My name is Monica, and I am sorry for the delayed response, due to the overwhelming emails we are currently behind our 24-hour response time. (Yeah I bet you are!!!)  I apologize for any inconvenience, this may have caused. I attempted to contact you today 1/20/2012 at approximately 8:45 pm MDT at the provided contact number and unfortunately missed speaking to you directly. I hope you receive my voicemail message. I am sorry to learn you did not receive the $100.00 Verizon Wireless gift card. I can definitely assist you with your inquiry regards to the $100.00 Verizon Wireless Gift card.
In tracking the status on the Trade in Website (Submission ID: 5268135 ), the incorrect envelope might have been used when returning the device to our Trade in Department. Which is why the device was received in our Central warehouse and not the Trade in Department. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. I can apply the credit of $100.00 to your wireless account for the second phone that was mailed to the incorrect Department.
Please contact me on my direct line, my name again is Monica. My direct line is 505-999-5300 extension 6998. I am in the office Monday -Friday. My office hours are as follows:
Monday through Friday 2:00 pm -11:00 pm (Mountain Time)
Jody, please contact me so that I may resolve your issue. Thank you for being a loyal customer since 1998! We appreciate your business and thank you for choosing Verizon Wireless. Should you have additional questions or feel your concerns are not resolved, please reply to this e-mail or contact me directly.
Sincerely,
Monica
Verizon Wireless, Customer Service
Internet Response Team
If you have received this e-mail in error or are not the intended recipient, please notify us immediately by replying to this e-mail and deleting it and all copies and backups thereof.

(me) Hello Monica,
I am very sorry I missed your call on Friday and by the time I checked my email you were gone.
I left you a VM at 12:03pm today; forgetting about the time change and your hours.
I will be available to take your call until 5:00pm Pacific Time today and will expecting your call. 
Just so you understand and I to make myself perfectly clear Monica, I absolutely DO NOT want you to reiterate Verizon’s excuse as to why this entire situation occurred.  I have wasted enough of my precious time on this ridiculousness.  I just want you to tell me you have credited my account the $100.00 and give me a conformation number.
After seeing the outpour of other Verizon Wireless customers posting the same anger and frustration at the lack of customer service and dissatisfaction with your Trade In Program I just hope that someone in charge of this whole debacle will take responsibility for the abuse your loyal customers have gone through and fix it!!!!
As I said, I will look forward to your call and the resolution.
Sincerely,
Jody Price

  • How do you get the trade in code for the $100 gift card?

    On January 28, I activated a Samsung S4 that I had mail ordered from Verizon Wireless.  I went to the online chat service to find out about the $100 trade in for my functioning Moto Bionic, and after some back and forth, was told that they could not help me and I had to call customer support.
    I generally prefer not to call because of the waiting time, but on several of my calls on this I have actually gotten through fairly quickly (i.e. under five minutes of wait).  So, on the first call, I was told to fill out the form on the trade in page using the code "Smart100" where required the online form.  The "Smart100" code did not work (and I tried various permutations, including initial cap, initial non-cap, space, no space, underscore_connect, all with no success). 
    I called back to inquire why "Smart100" did not work, and after the CSR explained case sensitivity to me (and I explained all the permutations that I had already run through before calling back), we agreed that Smart100 was just not going to work.  She then went to find further information.  She returned to the line to advise me that, indeed, Smart100 would not work, but that Verizon would send my phone a text of the code to enter on the trade in page within five calendar days of activation of the new phone. 
    I called on the sixth day, and I spoke to another CSR.  She told me that the five calendar days was inaccurate, and the code would arrive on my phone within five business days. 
    I waited until COB on the fifth business day , and called again.  However, the CSR (accurately) pointed out out that it was not yet midnight, and  the code would surely arrive that evening. 
    Unfortunately, I still (some 2 1/2 weeks after activation) do not have the code.  I have decided to try a different approach, to wit, a posting here. 
    Suggestions?

    For whatever it's worth, I received an email back in the same day from the "Wireless Device Recycling Team" with a code that went through.  I am not sure who the Recycling Team is, but this was a very positive experience after the frustrations of talking and chatting with CSR's who, while trying hard, were not well informed about this particular issue, so hats off to the Recycling Team.

  • Getting Error In the Routine - While writing Code for the Cross Reference.

    Hi,
    Getting Error In the Start Routine - While writing Code for the Cross Reference from the Text table ( /BIC/TZMDES with Fields /BIC/ZMDES(Key),TXTSH ) Getting Error as [ E:Field "ZMDES" unknown ].
    Transformation : IOBJ ZPRJ3(Source) -> IOBJ ZPRJC ( Target ).
    The Source  Fields are: 0logsys(Key),zprj3(Key),ZDOM3.
    The Target Fields are : 0logsys(Key),zprjc(Key),ZDOM3, UID.
    Here i am trying to Update the target Field UID by Comparing the Source Field [ zprj3(Key)] with the Text table ( /BIC/TZMDES ) and update the UID.
    The Code is as below:
    Global Declarations in the Start Routine:
    Types: begin of itabtype,
            ZMDES type /BIC/TZMDES-/BIC/ZMDES,
            TXT type /BIC/TZMDES-TXTSH,
             end of itabtype.
    data : itab type standard table of itabtype
    with key ZMDES,
    wa_itab like line of itab.
    Routine Code :
    select * from /BIC/TZMDES into corresponding fields of table itab for
    all entries in SOURCE_PACKAGE
    where ZMDES = SOURCE_PACKAGE-/BIC/ZPRJ3.
    READ TABLE itab INTO wa_itab
    WITH KEY ZMDES = SOURCE_PACKAGE-/BIC/ZPRJ3
    BINARY SEARCH.
    IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
    RESULT = wa_itab.
    CLEAR wa_itab.
    The tys_SC_1 structure is :
    BEGIN OF tys_SC_1,

            LOGSYS           TYPE RSDLOGSYS,
         InfoObject: ZPRJ3.

        TYPES:
          tyt_SC_1        TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF tys_SC_1
                            WITH NON-UNIQUE DEFAULT KEY.
    Please suggest with your valuable inputs.
    Thanks in Advance

    I have split the code in two.. one for start routine.. other for field routine.. hope this helps

  • Everytime i download itunes to my i get a message saying apple application support is required, where do i go for the support ???

    everytime i download itunes to my i get a message saying apple application support is required, where do i go for the support ???

    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

    You’re running an outdated copy of Safari on your Desktop. That won’t work.
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Applications
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A to open the Applications folder. Check that the Safari application is in that folder. If it is, use it, and delete the copy on your Desktop. Never move or copy built-in applications.
    If you've deleted Safari from the Applications folder, back up all data, then reinstall OS X. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

  • Where is the HTML-Code for the Dashboard-Links defined? How to edit it?

    Hello everyone,
    I'd like to know where HTML-Code for the Dashboard-Links (My Dashboard, insert random Dashboardname here, ...) is defined.
    Inspecting HTML-Code via the browser, i'll got the following HTML-Tag:
    an <a'' href="...url"... class="CurrentPortal" name="DashboardBannerLink" title="...">Dashboard-name</a''>
    What i know is, that i can modify portalbanner.css and edit the style of those links.
    But thats not what i want, though. I want to modify the html-code itself, for example change the layout of the table etc, to meet our company's corporate design requirements.
    Thats why i tried to find the terms PortalLink and CurrentPortal within the Message-Database (/msgdb).
    Unfortunately, i got no results.
    As a consequence, I believe HTML for those Links is generated by saw.dll internally and therefore can not be edited.
    Now i need someone to prove me wrong ;)
    Thanks in advance,
    Chris

    -had to edit the html tag, as the code was turned into a clickable link when i posted the thread

    I still didn't find a solution until now, although i checked almost every xml file, that i was able to find.
    At the moment I am sure, that it would be necessary to edit sawm-Parameter "bannerHtml" to meet my requirements. Now, i dont know whether its possible to edit it or not, since those saw-parameters do not seem to be documented on the web.
    That's the part, i found in dashboardtemplates.xml (Line: 362)
    <WebMessage name="kuiDashboardBanner" translate="no"><!-- Param bannerHtml --><!-- Param dashboardsURL -->
