Telecom Promotional Rewards Go Unfulfilled with No Internal Record
AT&T customers who qualify for promotional reward cards after phone upgrades frequently never receive them, and when they follow up, agents claim no record of the offer or prior commitments exists. This creates a pattern where promotional promises are contractually binding but operationally ignored. Customers are left financially harmed with no self-service escalation path.

AT&T Fails to Apply Trade-In Credits After Receiving and Processing Devices
Customers who traded in phones to AT&T for promotional credits find their devices confirmed as received and processed but credits permanently stuck before the final redemption step.

The lack of an enforceable completion mechanism puts all risk on the consumer with no recourse if the carrier does not follow through.
