Non existant rewards

When I signed up for Directv I was promised a $300 Visa card. I was told that I had to contact customer support and they would get the card to me. Well today I called customer support. I was on the phone with 6 agents and logged in 3 consecutive hours on the phone, being given numerous telephone numbers and being on hold till I was ready to scream more than once. I tried to get my status on the rewards web page and my account number won't get accepted. The live chat doesn't exist.

 

I am convinced that this rewards thing is a scam being used as a ploy to get people to contract up for two years. If there is anyone that has a link that might get me results I would like to get a reply about it.

That's not how it works. Either the card is added at the time of sale or it's not (for whatever reason) customer service has nothing to do with "adding" a gift card only the sales reps can add it to the order so if it's not in the sales confirmation email then you won't get it and no one can help you get it, since it's not showing up in the reward card system then it was never part of the order to begin with

Information about your exact Rewards Card amount was provided on your order confirmation. If it's not stated there, then it doesn't exist.  But try contacting the Reward Center.

O.K. ….So I guess I'll respond to all of you at once. 

 

The answers I had been given weren't precise about AT&T's ability to rectify the situation. But what has been made clear is how rude the folks on this forum are. My first visit here is my last. You can all revel in your greatness.

Sorry you feel that way. As I state in my signature, I strive to provide accurate answers even if they aren't always appreciated. Sometimes folks don't like the simple, honest answers.

Well, you were wrong. I called the rewards line and explained the situation and got the $300 card 10 days later. I think you owe the forum community an apology and update your posts to reflect the proper information.

WRONG. I got my $300 by calling the rewards line in 10 days.

Congratulations. Consider yourself very lucky.

I consider myself misled. The folks at the rewards center told me that getting a supervisor to elevate the incident will invariably result in getting the card to a customer.

So is it in the sales confirmation email? You never really answered that. The rewards center can't do anything if it's not part of the initial sales order.

It was not in the sales confirmation email. There was something they could do. The folks on this forum need to be updated with the correct information.
