Q about promo

I ordered a configured Macbook Pro through my campus store on Monday the 13th, and I have not received it yet.  The deadline for the back to school gift card promo is only supposed to be good until the 20th which is tomorrow.  Will I still be able to claim the promo since it was purchased before the due date?  Are there any extra steps I would have to take?  Thank you

Did you purchase the Mac AT the store or through an online link (like I did)? 
I bought my configured Macbook Pro through our school's .edu store site and I received the stated promo discount AND the $100 Mac App Store card at online checkout.

  • "Free" X! upgrade offer, well maybe not so free - Caveat Emptor

    Last week I and at least one of my neighbors received a promotional email offering free upgrade and installation to Xfinity X1. Sounded great, so I bit the hook. I used the web interface to complete the upgrade. All Comcast wanted was an authorization that I was the account holder. After a short period, I got an email indicating they got my order. Today, I get a confirmation email of the upgrade, along with a readout of changes that will occur to my account. No installation or upgrade fee showed up, but there was a $10 X! DVR service charge added to my account. We do not have DVR service on our present plan, and have no interest in DVR service. I view this as an unauthorized bait and switch tactic. I immediately called Comcast and canceled the order.What most upsets me is that there was no indication anywhere on the sign up site that there would be additional service charges automatically tacked on to my account. Free upgrade to me means that my account charges stay the same. Apparently, Comcast has a much narrow definition.This fiasco is in direct contrast to a really nice upgrade plan that they offered me a few months ago, which I took, and the ease in which our plan was upgraded, without any surprise charges showing up. 

    You definition is way more limited than that of Comcast's description of the service. From the web info on X1:X1: Overview and User Guide "IntroductionXFINITY on the X1 Entertainment Operating System is simply extraordinary!What is X1?X1 delivers the simplest, fastest and most complete way to access all your entertainment on all your screens.
    With X1, you experience TV and Internet together like never before with advanced search, personalized recommendations, apps at home and on the go and the fastest in-home Wi-Fi for all rooms, all devices, all the time." Some of that extra power sounded nice, and clearly is beyond your narrow statement regarding DVR. Because I would receive a unit with a DVR does not mean that I want the DVR service. At one point in the past, I did have a cable box with a DVR,  but we did not subscribe to the service, nor were we charged for it. Thus, because a unit has a feature, in my estimation, it does not mean I must subscribe to the service. However, if having the X1 box means I must subscribe is Comcast's attitude, then that should have been made clear right up front in the promotional email, even if in small print. As I said, there were no such indications at any time before the confirmation email appeared.  Criticizing me for not calling about  promo to really check it out, is valid. To some extent, I was thrown off guard by the great previous experience I had on a Comcast upgrade; I will not make that mistake again.  

  • Verizon site

    Are they working on the pages again today.  Very slow loading, if at all.  I am getting a "server error" sometimes.  Forums loading slowly also.  A lock and https.  is appearing also when page first tries to load.  It says something about promo. 
    We are having same problem on two computers both running I.E 8. One is running Windows XP and the other is running Vista.  Anyone else having this problem? 

    I'm having the same issue.
    Computer is very  slow uploading pages, etc. Especially in the forums page also.
    I live in  Old Bridge, New Jersey.

  • Disappointed about the "early upgrade" and "free" LTE phone promo...

    I must say I'm rather disappointed with Verizon as of late.  First, I was told that adding my wife to my plan wouldn't interfere with any of our services and then was charged $500 in text message fees when I found the store had not put my unlimited texting back where it was supposed to be.  Then, I was given the $15 unlimited data promotion for a year which was also taken off after adding the wife to my plan.  Neither of these caveats were explained to me by anybody when these "promotions" were given.  I guess it comes as no surprise, then, that this one was a load of garbage too.
    I have talked to several customer service representatives and Lord I must say there are dozens of curse words I would like to use right now.  I logged in to MyVerizon the other night after checking up on data usage since I have unlimited data but the wife is capped at 2GB.  I see a promotion in the bottom window "Recommended for You" that says I can get a free upgrade to a 4G LTE phone at no cost to me.  Obviously, I'm going to click on the link as I hadn't really thought of upgrading to 4G's higher end phones until the prices came down a little more.  Instead of being given the option to choose from my phones, it adds the Nexus to my cart and says I have to pay full upgrade price.  I go back to the other phones, and now they all say full upgrade price.  I go back to the home page, and now the "Free 4G phone" offer isn't even showing up.
    Now, if you're still following this, I immediately called customer service and the first person I spoke to seemed more interested in getting off of the line with me as they advised me to wait for the promotion to pop back up and I will get it for sure.
    I called back a couple of days later when I didn't see it and spoke to a nice young lady who then told me that she wasn't sure why it had done that to me but that I was eligible for the 4G discount - $100 off of any LTE phone and that I misunderstood "Free LTE phone".
    Look.  I know the difference between "$100 off" and "Free".  One costs money, the other doesn't.  One gives me a discount on the phone I would have upgraded to later this year, and the other gives it to me for free.  Why would I upgrade now to save money on a phone that I will buy discounted in the future?
    I told her that was not what I was offered and that I want what I had been offered.  She went to speak to a supervisor, and then came back and told me that the free LTE deal was a south-only promo.  Fair enough, but then why was I offered the deal and then all efforts were made to prevent me from going back to take advantage of it?  When I mentioned this, she said that her supervisor had said that they could give me the free phone if I agreed to drop my unlimited data to 5GB/monthly as that is what the southern promotion was.
    I did some research and spoke to a friend who lives in the south and their promo was a free phone with unlimited data grandfathered in.  So what the heck gives with this misinformation?  I felt as if they knew I wouldn't give up unlimited data and were just trying to get me off of the phone.
    Finally, I spoke with a gentleman tonight who seemed helpful until we arrived at the same point.  Except he told me that the previous customer service reps had misinformed me again and that the southern promotion was indeed grandfathered unlimited data.  I told him "Great, sign me up then".  Then the disappointment set in.  He said that it couldn't be done at all. He said I should have taken the offer last night and then had my unlimited data reinstated (as there is a 14-day policy for such a thing apparently).  So I asked why it was offered to me before with the intention of getting me to give up my unlimited data but now it wasn't being offered to me at all.  I was told "I don't know, I'm sorry".  Well, that doesn't fix the problem, does it?  He tried everything he could to sell me the lesser phones (that I already mentioned were a step down from my current phone - the Fascinate) and then basically ended the call saying nothing more could be done.
    This is absolutely ridiculous to be treated this way.  I have paid my bill on time, and I know that Verizon is the most expensive carrier out there.  I have cheaper options, but I chose Verizon because the service is incomparable.  Why am I being told lie after lie after lie about what can and can't be done and being offered promos that I can't even get?  This wouldn't have even been an issue if I had just been given the original promotion I was offered without losing my unlimited data and I feel like your associate simply enjoy dangling carrots in front of peoples' faces. 
    I use quite a bit of data and I enjoy my service but my patience is beginning to wear very thin between incompetent store associates and lying customer service representatives.  With my upgrade coming up soon and my contract ending soon after I'm beginning to wonder if I made the right choice in leaving AT&T at all.
    Utter nonsense.  I feel cheated and worst of all I feel as if I was baited into a promotion I will now never get despite the fact that it was promised to me one night and then forbidden the next.

    And to make it even worse, each person told me to just "check back later" and "maybe the phone I wanted" would be discounted.
    If it was "maybe" discounted, why not just save the trouble, the customer, and the time, and just give me what you offered me?
    So annoyed right now....

  • Question about the Apple Promo

    Hi, I recently bought a Macbook Pro and I bought the free Printer and iPod Nano with it. And right now Im trying to send the rebates in, but they both ask for the original UPC Label on my Macbook Pro box, and I only have one of those. I thought I could just make a copy of it, but the promo site for both deals that they only accept the original UPC Label.
    So does anyone have any ideas how I can still send in both rebates and get my money back for Nano and printer?
    Macbook Pro 15.4"   Windows XP Pro  

    hope this helps:
    (from the Apple Promos FAQ)
    If I am applying for more than one Apple rebate related to the purchase of my Apple computer, what do I need to do if each one calls for an original UPC label?
    If you qualify for more than one Apple promotion that requires you to submit the computer UPC label, you may use the original computer UPC label for one of the claims and make photocopies for the others. Please indicate which promotion contains the original computer UPC label. Check the Terms and Conditions of each individual rebate for more specific information.

  • Why can I not upgrade my account with the promo that appears when I click on the upgrade link?

    I'm an existing customer and am currently paying over $50/month for Creative Cloud. If the link in my email says "upgrade now" and I click on it, and it takes me to a page that says I can get an annual subscription for $29.99 per month (monthly), why then can I not upgrade to that promo? If I'm not eligible, then don't send me the email link, it's false advertising.

    Hi sage-energy,
    I would like to inform you that $29.99 promo is for our existing customers who own a CS 3 or later version.
    This pricing is for 1 year, as per subscription terms, price is subject to change and a notification would be sent to the customers about the same.
    Please refer : Adobe - Subscription Terms
    I have checked your record, you have purchased the subscription for $29.99 and after 1 year it has revised to $49.99.
    However, if you have got an email stating that you can upgrade it $29.99, I would advise you to contact our support team to get that email validated. We would take the required action on that.

    Thanks,

  • How can I file a complaint about an employee who has been messing with me on purpose (on trades)?

    Hello. What's the best way to file a complaint against an employee who basically tried to ruin all game trades for me?
    She just stands there in the customer service section doing nothing, she paces back and forth while customers are waiting, and she only takes calls to avoid talking to customers in person. She messes up trades on purpose.
    I had a problem with a trade-in once with an awful supervisor and I called the Executive Resolution Team and the lady on the line just told me that they would call the store to hear the "other side" of the story. Honestly, I just told her what happened.
    I went in there for a trade-in earlier that day and the woman taking my trade refused to enter my phone number for my bonus. She flat out refused it five or six times. It was insane. I explained to her how the system works and she called her supervisor. The supervisor acted like I was trying to steal the bonus even though I paid for the subscription. I politely explained to her how it works and I told her all the things that came with the subscription. I told her that all they need to do is input my number in the correct space and it should apply automatically.
    She didn't believe me but she said that I could get a discount higher than what I asked to get as the bonus and I told her that it was actually lower because it was due to the base. She said it's fine and I said that I wasn't planning to buy anything that day. I just wanted to clear some space and get some credit in case there was a decent online sale later that week. She said that she could only give me a discount on something and I said, "Then can I get an Amazon card?" and she said something like "Go get it."
    I came back with the card and she gives me a discount lower than what she said she would give me, but it's still a little bit higher than my bonus, so I let it go.
    I went home and I had dinner and I got some more games ready and I went back to the store. A different lady was there and she got through most of my trade faster than the woman who kept refusing to enter my number for my bonus. She also couldn't get the bonus to work and she gave up on the first try so she calls a supervisor. I just wanted to sweep up all my games and run because I knew that she was calling the same supervisor, but I stood there because I didn't do anything wrong.
    At this point, the woman who keeps giving me trouble in my recent trips there appears and like always, she's doing nothing. Anyway, let's just call this woman L. The supervisor is K. K walked back behind the counter and she says something like, "You again? No. You're not doing this again." I say, "Doing what?" I feel insulted but I tell her that all they need to do is enter my number in the correct place for Gamer's Club Unlocked. L heard this but she just turned around like she didn't hear anything and she's busy. She did this because she's the one who got the registration card for Gamer's Club Unlocked for me. Back when she did that, she mentioned that she was from the Gaming Department. She knew that I was right but she let the supervisor get aggressive with me.
    K kept threatening to cancel my trade. I kept trying to reason with her. All she needed to do was her job. I told her how to figure it out. She kept repeating, "I will cancel it." I said, "cancel it." She canceled it and she had this egomaniac look on her face like, "I won."
    I take my games and I look back and L is pacing back and forth like a beheaded chicken.
    Anyway, for the Titanfall promo, I go into the store and I want to trade two copies of Call of Duty Ghosts and a copy of Thief. I got a copy of Ghosts from a friend who was busier than me. I was very busy those few days, so I went on the last day after classes. I have evening classes, so I got there near closing time. L rejected one of my copies of Ghosts and I asked her why and she said it was store policy even though it's not. She just cost me $11 or something because of the non-promo and promo difference.
    She insisted on doing the Thief and Ghosts trades separatetly for no reason even though I insisted that she do them together so she will only need to enter GCU once and I only need to sign twice and I get one gift card. She's just acting like a jerk, so I said, "whatever". She asked me for my number for the GCU bonus after I tell her about it. It's input and it's in the right place. It was done on the first try. She finished the Ghosts trade and I signed everything but she wouldn't give me my gift card. She started the second trade and she asked me for my number and she input it. I signed the pad and as I'm signing the paper that should be correct because she asked me for my number, I notice that my bonus is missing and I strike out the signature. I told her and she already knew. She was just shocked that I struck out the signature. She said that there was no prompt for it. She obviously lied. She asked me for my number and she input it. I told her, "You should have said something." She just took a relaxed pose and she told me that it's already tendered so she can't undo it. I told her that it's not final until I sign the final paper. I knew that I was pushing my luck because it was the last day and it was near closing time, but I kept telling her that she could fix it.
    She just wanted me to cave at that point, so she says that she will go ask a supervisor about it and she just walked into a room and she walked out in a few seconds saying the same thing. She just pretended to ask about it. She said that I can call the customer service line and get the bonus added. I signed it and she gave me the two cards. Oh, and when she left to "ask a supervisor", she took the card that was already legally mine with her. I had two cards, so I wanted to combine them. I took them to the register with a minute or two to spare and it turned out that they could not be combined because they were store credit cards and not gift cards, like it states on the website.
    So I want to file a complaint against her now and I want to get the bonus she took from me. What's the best way to do that?

    Hello r555,
    Thank you for being a My Best Buy member, and thank you for visiting our forum.  I am very sorry to hear that it has not always been easy for you to receive your Gamers Club Unlocked bonus when trading in games.  I'll be happy to talk to you about your experience.
    I get the impression you are quite familiar with the trade-in process and how the bonus is applied, and it is disappointing to hear that a store associate wouldn't attempt to complete that process.  I will be sending you a private message so we can get some more specific information regarding which store you were at as well as the trade in question where you did not receive the bonus.  Please watch for a message from me shortly.
    Sincerely,
    Mike|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

  • Not told of all charges, lack of Netflix promo code and major run around trying to sort it out...

    I recently signed up for Fios almost a month ago, installed myself and just received my first bill. My apartment's "rep" told me if I installed it myself I wouldn't be charged an install fee. He failed to tell me there was an activation fee of $69.99! Just saw that on my first bill. He did mention that for my tv box equipment there would be rental fees. He didn't tell me it was $19.99 a month for 2 tv boxes that don't even have DVR capabilities (that's another $12.99 for each box!).
    I was supposed to get free Netflix for a year. Was told I'd get a promo code in an email. It's been 20 days since I activated my service so I called Verizon to find out where my code is and to cancel my tv boxes (rediculous to pay $20 rental fee and they're not even capable of DVRing!). Customer service said I could return the boxes at a drop off location. Shipping them in was also an option and would be free.  Dropping them off would mean the rental fees would be taken off my bill immediately. Customer service rep said it looked like the promo code was mailed on Dec 11th so was going to ask the other dept that handles the netflix promo codes. Waited. Then was transferred to that dept. The new guy I was dealing with said it was mailed but to expect 6-8 weeks before receiving it. 6-8 weeks?! I was told it was in processing and couldn't be modified and whomever set up my account for the promo set up the code to be snail mailed. What?! I'm sorry, why is eveything else sent by email, including my confirmation for sign up, my bill notification, my tracking number for my shipped equipment, etc. But my promo code for free Netflix was snail mailed and would take 6-8 weeks?! Why?! No one could tell me. No one could adjust it so it could be emailed to me. He couldn't even give me a tracking number. So he sent me back to customer service dept. Then, of course it's the automated system at the beginning of the menu (not customer service). Had to go through the main menu again. Finally get to another customer service rep and tell him how frustrated I am that my apartment's verizon rep didn't tell me about the activation fee, didn't tell me my Netflix promo code would be snail mailed and would take 6-8 weeks, and that the previous guy I was just talking to couldn't do anything about getting the promo code by email or expediting it in any way. He apologizes and says he would talk to someone in that department and see if there was anything he could and at least get me a tracking number. I waited. He comes back and says I have to track the package on a separate website which is www.rewardshq.com (so not the standard UPS or anything even though I was told it was being sent UPS by Verizon rewards rep).
    Then I ask if I have to set up returning my tv boxes (because the first guy transferred me before that was concluded). Yes. He then tells me he'll send a shipping label and box. I told him I'd just drop it off. He informs me dropping it off incurs a $10 fee. Seriously?! First customer service rep never told me that (only that it would come off my bill immediately) so either way they get their money out of you for returning the equipment, whether you have to hang on to it for a couple days or you pay to drop it off. 
    He then says it shouldn't take 6-8 weeks for the Netflix promo code but that's what they have to tell someone. I say thank you and hang up. I then go to the website I was given to track this letter with the elusive netflix promo code. The website requires a log in and password. I was never told or received that! I got the "tracking" number but what good is it if I have to log into this weird site to track it. 
    So, in conclusion:
    RUNAROUND, RUNAROUND, RUNAROUND
    SHADY TACTICS by not giving full disclosure of all fees from the first rep who I contacted through my apt, then with first customer service rep, then the weird/rude promo reward verizon rep, then the final customer service rep who gave me a useless website since I can't log in. 
    I am not a happy camper. I will probably not use Verizon ever again after my contract due to this and I haven't even been a customer for a month.

    Thank you so much for reaching out and allowing me to help you with this issue.  This is indicative of the type of experience we don't want ANY of our customers to have...a negative one.  I'd like to address your concerns and give you the opportunity to reach us directly if you have any other questions. 
    First, I'd like to address the issue with box return.  We will happily send you return boxes and labels that include free shipping at no cost but for future reference, and what doesn't appear to have been made clear,  you can drop equipment off at any UPS corporate facility and they will ship equipment back to us at no cost to you.  If, however, the equipment is taken to a Verizon store, that is where the restocking fee is assessed.  I apologize that this was not made clear during the calls in to our center.
    As for the issue with the Netflix promo code, those are typically sent after our worry free guarantee ends (14 days) to the email address we have on file for you.  In the event that you opted out of receiving emails or did not provide an address, we send it to your home address via snail mail within 30 days of FiOS installation.
    I am more than happy to look into this for you and find you a definitive answer as to when you should expect to receive your Netflix promo but in order to do so, I will need to access your account privately.  If you would like to go ahead with that, please check your private message box for a chat link to get started. 
    Thank you and happy holidays,
    ~Eva

  • Current Promo Rate Expired Email

    In the past month I've received two emails with the subject "Current promo rate expired or soon to be expiring".  Both of the emails (when you follow the link inside) offer what appears to be an extension of the deal that just expired for me, $69.99 per month for Blast Plus! with HBO for 2 years with a 2 year agreement.  The webpage provides the phone number 1-855-566-1415 to get this offer.  The email states that its for all existing customers, the webpage states only limited to new residential customers. Since this reduces my bill by around $20, I called.  After speaking with 2 representatives about this deal they came to the conclusion that this deal didn't exist and was not in their system however they came up with a new deal (essentially the same deal but cheaper and only for 1 year) which was $54.99 a month for Blast Plus! with HBO with Showtime and a $50 gift card.  This deal is obviously targetted towards a new customer but since its offered I'm not going to argue.  After waiting for them to speak with a sales representative to get it added to my account I'm told that I need to call customer solutions at 1-800-934-6489 to get this added to my account since I already have a double-play package.   The first representative (actually rep 3, but the first for this phone number) transfers me pretty quickly to someone else.  After describing what I'm trying to do, and relaying the entire history of why I was calling she looks up what emails were sent to me.  She tells me I was never sent these emails and they only sent me an email on May 27th detailing what packages I had and which were expiring.  This particular email I NEVER received.  She then tells me that the offer in the two emails (which she says were never sent to me) are not valid for me and that the third offer (the $54.99 a month one) doesn't exist in any system.  An hours worth of sitting on a phone proven to be pointless, only to be told that she has nothing for me other than a package that would increase my bill - the exact opposite of what I was offered and she said the other reps must be confused and are wrong.   So where do I go from here?  How can I take advantage of one of 3 offers that were given which significatly decrease my bill (25-50% decrease) but apparently were never sent and don't exist.  Somebody from Xfinity sent them (twice) to me and I would really like to take advantage of them.

  • Did you receive an unsolicited promo offer and after accepting realize your employee discount was dropped?

    This is EXACTLY what happened to me! About two months ago, I received a text from Verizon stating,
    "Verizon appreciates your loyalty. You are currently on the $50/2GB plan. You can now get an extra 2GB of data per month for the same price you pay now. There's no change to your voice plan or contract. Would you like to move to this new plan?"
    Of course, I was tempted but thought it was too good to be true. So I called Verizon and spoke to customer service. I basically received the same message - nothing would be changed other than increasing the data plan to 4GB; the monthly rate and contract would remain the same. And I accepted the offer because it was so good!
    Now, two months later I find my monthly rate is higher by ~$15. The first month, I called and received a credit - the customer service agent could never figure out why my employee discount was automatically dropped, but ensured me it wouldn't happen again. It was easily resolved and only cost me about 30 minutes in time to call in to get a resolution.
    Then I get the next bill... I just chatted with customer service again this morning for this month's bill and suddenly the game has changed... I was told "promo" plans have never been allowed to receive employee discounts. Confuse me?!?! I would imagine this is something that should have come up sooner!
    At any rate, I now was forced to go back to the original plan to ensure my bill would remain the same. However, I'm fuming that a company as large as Verizon could use such trickery and get away with it. It's frustrating that I have to babysit my bill and now have been misled. Here I was thinking Verizon's customer service with superior when in reality my "loyalty" plan was designed to cost me more money! Be aware when excepting these offers and they are ultimately a sales scheme.

    Well your very welcome   just want to be clear there is a BIG difference between loyalty plans and loyalty Data. The data makes no change to the plan at the same rate, the plan changes you to one of the lower amounts possible not allowing the discount to apply to the acct. which is why online when checking the status you can still see you are valid but its not reflecting, unfortunately with this problem VZW cant really apply the discount because its a system reading not a mess up on an agents part. If you contact employment validation they will actually tell you the accurate info which is exactly as im explaining (1-800-890-8007) hope they clear it all up for you.
    have a great day all

  • Free Itouch with purchase of Macbook promo

    Hi, sorry I didn't know where else to post this...
    I know there is an ongoing promo where you can get a free itouch with the purchase of a mac computer...thing is, i didnt know about it until now. I actually got my computer in april, just barely a month before they started this promo..is there a way i could still avail of this promo?

    No, but if it's any consolation, it's really not that great of a promo. You have to actually buy both the computer and the iPod, then fill out a rebate form, which will refund the cost of the iPod about 3 months later.
    So, the whole point of these programs is that you're basically giving Apple a short term loan. They put that money, from you and all the other people who bought one, into various short term investments to try and make some extra money off it, so hopefully by the time they return your money in three months, they will have made several times that much. They also count on people who will forget to fill out the rebate form or fill it out incorrectly. I don't know about Apple, but a lot of times companies who issue rebates use special processing companies. They have X amount of money with which to pay out rebates, and once that money is gone the company files for bankruptcy, is liquidated, and everyone who hasn't had their rebate issues is just stuck holding the bag. Never go in for rebates on big ticket items like TVs. A lot of rebate programs are essentially your basic pyramid scam. The way you should look at rebates, is that it's a nice bonus. You would be willing to pay full price for the item in question, but if you get a rebate that makes it slightly less, even better. However, even if you never get the rebate, you are still fine paying full price. Make a habit of looking at the original price on ads, not the after rebate price.
    So don't feel too badly about it. When you start to read the fine print on these things, you find out it's not quite as good a deal as it seems in the marketing blurb.

  • Need help for the $200 promo rebate for trade-in of I Phone 4

    Need help for the $200 promo rebate for trade-in of I Phone 4.  Unable to preregister when I ordered the new 6  in September.  Now can not contact VZW recycle program regarding.

    When I ordered my phone on Sept. 13th in a Verizon store, I had to ask the salesman how I went about getting the $200 rebate. He said shipping materials would come with the new phones. When I received the confirmation e-mail of my order, it contained a link for the rebate. Fortunately I clicked on the link, filled out the form online, and received the packing materials to send my phone in shortly after. My phones came in on Oct. 14th and I sent 3 of them back. So far I have received a gift card for $200 for 2 of the phones; the other is showing not received. I don't know what your situation is, but I think the promotion ended Oct. 15th. If I had listened to the salesman I think I would be out of luck as well. I hope I am wrong for your sake.
