Verizon advertised teacher discounts during Covid. They got a lot of good press out of this generous offer. I changed plans and was qualified a month ago for this discount and a rep told me it was confirmed. I have yet to see any discount on my bill. What is going on?

Thanks to everyone who tried to help. Nothing worked until I contacted the Executive Level at Verizon. Even then, the first person who I worked with did not follow up. Once I complained loud enough and threatened to go to the media, I had my discount in two days retroactive to May.

It is now two months since I applied for my discount and was told it was active and I still am not getting it. I was told it takes 2 to 3 billing cycles and I will not get it retroactively. This is not acceptable. They can flick on and off features instantly, but it takes up to 3 months to give me an already approved discount?
If this is not addressed quickly I will take the next step of contacting senior Verizon management and/or posting on all social media about this.

Yes...I have responded to all messages, notes, spoke to multiple agents and have now contacted Executive Management. Don't promise and publicize a discount to first responders and teachers and make us wait 2 months and counting...when I order a new feature, it is billed immediately.

There's a different between a feature coded into the system all customers have equal access to vs a discount that requires validation and approvals.
If the discount is already on file like a rep claimed, I'd check the bill carefully.

I do see a private note, unfortunately it is just the preview and I can't actually see the whole note or reply. What is going on?
