iphone xs device credit not showing up after three billing cycles

I posted a message here a month ago about a device credit of $400 for an iphone xs we upgraded to. At that time we had just received the first bill after upgrade but there was no device credit on it. I then waited for my second and now my third bill and device credit is still not showing up. The phone was purchased on 23 Dec 2019 and there was a $400 device credit on it. I am now on the phone with a rep and they are not able to find any promotion dating back. This is the same garbage verizon pulled on me a year back on another upgrade and it took several calls to sort it out. They are pulling this garbage again on me. It looks like they don't offer the promised device credits for anyone unless they call and call and be on the phone with them multiple time over multiple days / weeks. It is a very deceptive and deplorable business practice for a company that is supposed to be the best in the industry.

this issue is finally resolved to our satisfaction after being on the phone for 2 hours and producing documentation as proof for the original conversation we had while ordering the phone.

A word of advice for Verzion corp office. When you make a promise to a customer please follow through on it without the customer having to call you multiple times. For every one customer you may save money on by these techniques, you may lose 5 others who leave out of frustration and never come back.

I am still on hold with the agent. That agent did not find any promotion and is offering a small upfront credit as a compensation. I have told her I would go to court if I have to to get the promised credit. Unfortunately it is all on a online chat and I have saved the entire chat and in it I had asked multiple times about the device credit on an upgrade and the agent promised the credit. I don't have any other screenshots

that device credit was posted on multiple forums at the time (last week of Dec) and that is the reason I chatted online and they conformed the device credit.

I was not able to find the reply button to that message. This promotion did not require any trade-in. The agent found the entire chat and is working on it

The agent gets back to me and says I need to call every month to get device credit - that is the best they could offer. What kind of nonsense is this? They expect me to waste a good chunk of a day each month to get a credit they promised will happen automatically. Never knew verizon can pull newer and newer scheme to deceive the customers.

We understand the importance of receiving your promotion as soon as possible. Please tell us a little more, was this promotion for port-in your numbers from a different carrier?
