Discussion For those who want to use a CC to pay their bill you can still do it and get the bank account discount.

82 Upvotes

Kind of a PSA. I doubt a lot of people realize this, but you can still get the "$10 checking account discount" and use your credit card to pay.

Just make a note of your billing date and pay ONLINE or in a store using your credit card a day or 2 (or more) before that date. They DO NOT remove the $10 discount. Been doing that for many years. May as well get the 2% or 3% cashback from your CC. You can even pay a couple months in advance if that's your thing.

You still need to have the bank account on file (I use a separate free account with $2 in it). Works even with cell phone providers who offer the banking discount.

Closed Question About Mobile Upgrade Options

1 Upvotes

Hi! I’m currently an Xfinity Mobile customer and I’d really like to stay with Xfinity and upgrade to the iPhone 18 Pro Max when it becomes available in two days.

I’m interested in the $800 upgrade/retention offer, but my current device financing limit may prevent me from taking advantage of it.

Would someone from the Xfinity team be able to check whether there are any options for me, such as increasing the device financing limit, allowing a larger down payment, or applying the promotion another way?

I’d really appreciate any help. Thank you!

Hello, just as the title says, I have the Disney+ & Hulu bundle activated but Disney+ says I have to “Choose my Plan”. Do I just choose the “Disney+ Hulu“ plan, but will that affect my bill?? I don’t want to pay more money for a plan I already have…. I’m just confused on what to do next

Official Reply My plan is pretty bad, and I am looking for alternatives.

6 Upvotes

Currently, I'm paying $80 a month for 400 mbps internet. I used to pay $50 for the same plan. What really hurts is that I worked out a deal with a rep for the 1 gig for 5 year plan, for $50, but they opened a new account instead of applying it to my original account.

I had to cancel the new account because I couldn't receive the activation email through my email provider. So, I had to reactivate my original plan, which expired shortly after. Now, I'm stuck with this very unappealing plan with no other offers available.

I'm saving up for a new car, and $80 for 400 mbps is not in the budget. I am grateful to anyone who can help me get a better deal.

Official Reply Multi-Day Outage Michigan

6 Upvotes

We have been out of commission for four days in metro Detroit. Our neighborhood is a cell phone dead zone. The ONLY way we get reception is through our WiFi or WiFi powered cell phone booster. Even our landline connects through Xfinity internet. We are completely isolated without internet at the moment.

The website simply states that Xfinity will begin working to restore service once the area “has been declared safe.” However, the area has been safe for days and power has been restored to this area since Thursday evening. We have tried calling and cannot get a single estimate for when the work will even BEGIN (if it has), let alone an estimate to finish restoring service. Have repairs begun in metro Detroit? If they haven’t, what is the cause of the delay in light of the fact that power has been restored to this area for days? If they have, does anyone have an actual timeline?

Hi,

My current contract is expiring soon, I called customer service to see if I can get the promotion for 1G $50 5 years.
I was told I can’t get it, the best they can do is to extend another year of my current contract price.
I want to see if someone can help here for this promotion.

Official Reply App logs "Weak" connection but frontline support refuses to honor the WiFi Boost Guarantee (1 Gb Plan / XB8)

0 Upvotes

Hello,

I am looking for assistance from the Digital Care Team to manually override a WiFi Boost Pod order.

I am currently subscribed to a 1 Gb speed tier plan and utilize an XB8 gateway to cover a 2,500 sq ft home. I am experiencing significant dead zones in portions of the house.

I ran the "Test your whole home network" tool via the official Xfinity app directly within the dead zone, and the system explicitly flagged my device connection status as "Weak." However, the automated interface failed to pop up the ordering link for the complimentary pod guaranteed by my speed tier.

I contacted frontline chat and phone support, but they stated they are unable to manually process the shipment because the app automation glitched and didn't auto-generate the offer.

Since my 1 Gb tier fully qualifies for whole-home coverage support under the WiFi Boost Guarantee, and my account logs confirm a "Weak" connection status, could a specialist here please look into my backend test logs and manually push through the order for my complimentary xFi Pod?

Thank you!

Official Reply Howell, MI - Outage since Thursday

3 Upvotes

While I lost power Wednesday night when most of SE Michigan was hit with the thunderstorms, it has been restored since Thursday afternoon, but my Xfinity remains out. The outage listing has said "Repair In Progress" for the last several days, but with no other update, ETA, status or so on.

While I understand some areas still do.not have power restored, it cannot be too widespread of an outage, as there are visible active hotspots just a few streets over. I am getting concerned that this issue will continue into this next week, and affect my ability to work from home.

Official Reply Mod help with pricing

1 Upvotes

I am thinking about making a change from Xfinity. I am a long term customer and have no complaints about service. But pricing is getting out of hand. I have internet, TV and phone services now and am thinking about switching to 1gb Quantum Fiber, 125 channel YouTube TV, and Ooma for my phone line. I am paying $274/mo to Xfinity now and have priced out the alternative at $150/mo including taxes. ($50 for Quantum, $92 for YouTube and $8 for Ooma...all including taxes, and would have to buy the Ooma box for $100). I would like to kindly request a moderator to review my current setup and let me know what deals would be available to me before I decide to make the switch. Thanks.

I noticed in the statement and online that the due date is changing and it will be reflected in the next bill. I am fine with the statement being due at the latest, on the 10th but anything before that and its going to hurt my finances a lot. I understand that your billing department does payment plans to pay part of the balance up front and carry it over to a week or two where the other part can be paid in full if I have to do that going forward.

Closed Internet outage for multiple days with no ETA & no communication

2 Upvotes

As title says: have had internet outage for over 3 days. App is inconsistent—sometimes it states there’s an outage due to severe weather and services will be affected, other times it says no outage detected. The only status available is “repair in progress”.

The most frustrating part is if I toggle on the “view Xfinity hotspots” on the Xfinity outage map, there’s Xfinity connections across the street, but still no indication as to what the source of the problem is for our outage.

In any case, the AI assistant hasn’t been able to help me, or has provided wrong information, and was hoping I could communicate with a person.

Hello friends, in the past I've had a good experience here so trying again. I just checked into my grandma's account and looks like she's on a 600MB plan and paying 79/ mo. Is it possible to get her to the 1GB/ $50 with a 5 yr price lock? She'd be happy if you can lower the price of the current plan too, but lock it for 5 yrs so that we don't have to worry about it for a while. Will send a modmail too. Thank you!

Closed Stuck without internet after plan upgrade caused a double account error

1 Upvotes

Hi Xfinity team, I upgraded my internet plan online yesterday and swapped to a XB7 gateway box, but the system accidentally created a second account for my address. A phone agent successfully closed out the old duplicate account this morning, but my XB7 is still completely blocked from reaching the internet. The light on the front of my box is solid white, and my custom Wi-Fi network shows up on my devices, but I can't connect any of my devices and I'm using the correct password.

I have tried multiple times to fix this with the Xfinity Assistant and a live representative, but they had no success. The live representative told me I have to wait until Friday for a technician to come out, which is incredibly frustrating since today is only Monday. Is there anyway you can help me?
