Featured review
This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I too was told to go to www.att.com/rewardcenter for my dsl rebate after I agreed to their over the phone offer. I have tried over time repeatedly to access what appears to be a non-existent site. I even received a flyer in the mail instructing me to do this so I tried again repeatedly to no avail. *sigh*

It seems like every1 here has the same exact experience with me - I had to go through hell to get them give me my rebate. The key is DOCUMENT EVERYTHING you talk to them about - getting the reps' names, date, time you talked to them, what they said, etc. Then when you send your rebate form in, make a copy AND make SURE to send it where they have to sign for it - yeah you spend a lil' money BUT this saved me. They sent me a card claiming they didn't receive my form so I called and said that they are lying because I can see on the US Postal website specifying who signed for it and it was within the accepted date. Thus, they finally issue me the instant credit on my account. But trust me, I didn't get it until 6 months from the date they promised to give me the rebate by. Also, I had received a letter in the mail yesterday from an attorney, talking about settling issue w/ Att's rebate - specifying for those customers who were promised a rebate but never received it. This just comes to show, ATT NEVER had intended to give customers their rebates from the start. It's all a scam from this corporation to get people to buy their service yet not carry through.

I was given a web cite to access my reward, it did not work, and now I am no longer eligible for the reward because the time limit is expired. And I had to wait a month to apply for the reward. I have had a cable line on top of the ground (three months) since changing to DSL, and I am so disappointed in ATT ! I think the reward is a ponsi scheme. Also, the first moden which was installed was a "used" modem and I was without service for several days, had to have a repair man out to fix the problem. What has happened to ATT?

I tried to get into the att.net/rewardcenter and was directed to a page to check off what program did you receive and then a page to enter my phone number, which I did. A slogin came up that said sorry, cannot identify the number, try again and again and again, etc. etc. What a rip off! I was told I would receive a $100.00 Visa debit card as my reward, AND CAN'T FIND A WAY TO LET THEM KNOW! Please call me at [protected] and let me know what to do!

Just like so many others, I am waiting for my Reward on new business service to be posted. It has been more than a month, and the site keeps telling me there is no reward posted yet. The ATT represent said there was a $75 rebate on the new service, nothing as of yet. ATT is a monopoly and is frauding its customers. Plain and simple. I will look for a better service!

Just set-up a "Small Business Account" - I work for a corpoaration out of my home. BAD IDEA. I shouldve just got an extra residential line. My first bill? $388 - for ONE phone line and an Internet connection. Yes, I am supposed to have free long distance, but several companies, including United Telecom have been spamming me, and United Telecom actually changed my long distance. AT&T was nice enough to change it back. However, my bill is five pages long, and its already taken me three hours of my time sorting out. I didnt know I was entitled to a Rebate, until I asked. HINT: call 866.342.4271 and dont push ANY buttons. An operator will come on eventually. Let them process the rebate for you and get a confirmation code. Good luck. What a Racket.
Poor old McDonalds would love to charge us an extra 15 cents for a hamburger, and these clowns charge $30 for a "connect charge" or some nonsense, and not a freakin thing anybody can do about it.

I BOUGHT MY WIRELESS PHONE IN APRIL. STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY REBATE. CALL THE REBATE CENTER TWICE, SUBMITTED COPIES OF MY REBATE. STILL NO REBATE IN THE MAIL. I THINK WE NEED TO GO TO THE "BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU" IF THEY DO NOT WANT TO PAY THE REBATES THEN THEY SHOULD NOT OFFER THEM.
THIS IS JUST "BAD BUSINESS". AT&T DO NOT HAVE TROUBLE TAKING OUR MONEY FOR OUR PHONE BILL!

The rewards center website works just fine, https://rewardcenter.att.com/, however, ATT just wants to make it difficult to pay out the rebates and gives their customers the run-around.

Example, on the website it says that my $100 rebate check for signing up with their DSL was mailed on February 6, 2009, today is March 26, 2009. I SINCERELY doubt it'll take the post office over 45 days to deliver a piece of mail even with their slowest shipping service.

I waited until about February 20 to start calling their rewards center at 1.877.258.1427 and yes, you will get a live person but all they will tell you is to "wait 10 more business days and then call back." BULL!

So today I took a different approach and when Kathleen, Employee ID#:KP0414 gave me the "I've requested a further investigation for your check" crap I told her "NO, that is unacceptable, you people always tell me the same thing when I call. This time screw your investigation and keep it easy and re-issue the check, its as simple as a stop payment and re-issue of the check. " Her response, "OK, I have placed an order to re-issue the check and you should receive it in 7-10 business days."

I will have to wait and see what happens cuz I'm getting ticked off as hell!

We signed up for dsl and given one price and later the price changed and was told we misunderstood. Then after a long battle and runaround over a year and eight months we hold a bogus check on one of two rebates which cost a $5.00 returned check charge. (Unable to locate account) This is false advertising and criminal check writing. Today's call
was nonproductive as well. I am going to file with BBB in addition to persuing criminal charges.

Thanks Ron & Ruth Williams

I have not been surprised by my promised rebate that never came. I will not give up, for a few bucks I can take it to court.I have been told 3 times already it is in the mail, last time they said it will take 4 to 6 weeks, and now its been over 6 weeks and they tell me it was removed in October, but now they submitted it again. I should get it in 2 to 4 weeks, ( that's about when my next bill is do). I not only have had problems with the rebate...my bills have been showing overcharges, and when I question them on it they credit me, but than the next bill shows overcharges. I spent a good 4 hours + on the phone with them today because of my bill, rebate, and I never wanted the E-Bill ( they just hooked me up to that, I never asked for it). Changing it back to the paper bill is as bad as getting my rebate. All I can say is maybe you better keep and eye on the phone company, next thing they will be doing is burying phone lines to your neighbors on your property.

I am an employee at ATT for home phone services.
I am not at work so this is just my own personal opinion and really dont give a ### what yall have to say about it!
You stingy ### are complaining b/c u didnt get ur poor ###in $50 reward
The website is att.com/rewardcenter if your computer system is not going to it... that not att's problem
When you order dsl $50 is automatically sent out to you and it takes 3 to 4 weeks for you to recieve it.
Now any other cash back that is promised to you is strickly att employees issuing it to you but most of the time we say we are going to send it out and than never do... cry me a river
but if you are the lucky ones who actually does get it then u have to wait 3 weeks to go to the site to redeem the money and then it takes 3 to 4 weeks for you to recieve it! So lets just clear that ### up right now!
You people are the reason America is so ###in stingy, lazy, and down right ###in pathetic! All you all think about is money and ofcourse yourselves! if you need that cash back THAT BAD (and i am not nearly rich) then you need to think about a new career.
Please people call in for other reason than just to ###!
Also, if you all really want to save money FORREAL than i think you will all be happy to know that we just re-made all our services just kept the same names for them.
So if you all are looking to save money then call in and ask for our new : Complete Choice Enhanced
Only home phone services: $40 monthly
includes: Unl Local calling, Unl Long distance within the united states Free Voicemail
caller id, call waiting, call forwarding, call blocking, three way, call return, call trace...
with your voicemail it comes with call forwarding busy line and call forwarding dont answer to check your messages away from home all the features and voicemail is 100% FREE now if you add any extras this is where people go wrong... they think they are getting this free in the package inside wire protection and equipment maint privacy director.
Home phone and dsl service
dsl ultra: $62.95 includign home phone serv
xtreme 3.0 $67.95
6.0:$72.95 this includes all the things that i stated above
I know i was being mean but i hate when people complain about stupid ###...
if you have dish 200 channels: $ 122.95
now all of this is not including tax please understand we as employees cannot include tax every state is different on taxes so therefore we do not quote anything with tax!
You all have a great DAY! HAPPY NEW YEAR

I am having the same problem of trying to redeem my rebate and claim my rewards with AT&T. I sure like myself the above people work during the day and time and money will not permit months of trying to track down or access something promised during the sell of an item. I will not give up. I do not have a complaint with the other services I receive from AT&T; but the rebate/reward system smells like a purple poka-dot rat.

This service is poor because the information that your giving is not correct. You tell your customers one thing and do something else. The rewards is a joke because, you give us a site you can't retrieve the infor mation from and and you customer service people are giving false information just get you to sign with you. I feel after this poor output that i will seek services else where if you can't stand up to you word. Furthermore, i will write to the local news and alert them that att is promoting things and giving customers information to their customer just to get our business. Frank

To all those wit complaints about the at&t rewards runaround. You will be happy to know that I found the problem.
They are trying to make it difficult as possible but still be truthful.
Try reversing your addressing from att.com/rewardcenter to...rewardcenter/att.com
Then you will get to the redemtion part you need by typing in your phone number.
Then it will show you that you`re redeeming you`re $50.00 rebate and $75.00 visa . Good luck.
Mike.

I too was having the same problem with getting my rebate site. I found out that i was searching on the wrong search bar! We need to search "att.com/rewardcenter" on the top address bar where it says "https" but only type in "att.com/rewardcenter" and you get to the right site. I had to call the phone # [protected] and they connected me right to the reward center. I hope this helps you . Mark

I find myself in the same boat as all the others. Here I sit waiting for my promised awards but with no way to accomplish it. I guess I'll phone and get a real person (hopefully) to help me, altho when I signed up with a telephone Att solicitor, I had a real person and he failed to tell me the correct amount of my new service and how difficult it would be to collect the award.

I ordered my modem in May, and after 6 monts, I am still waiting. I have complained many times, and someone finally called me back 11-12-08 and said I would have my check in 7 to 10 days. Well, it is Dec.2, and I still have no check. As far as the rewards website, donot waste your time. CALL THEM!Do you think they would wait 6 months if I told them my "check was in the mail" for their payment? Merry Christmas!

I too was told to go to this web-site to get my $50.00 refund for my service. I have not been able to get it as of yet. The service is not worth what you charge and I too am looking for better service. I am really disappointed because I have always used AT&T for my phone service and have been pleased with that service, but your web service is the pits.

On October 07, 2008 at 5:30 pm I talked by phone to ATT's Ms. Green who
promised me a $100 rebate on my new application for DSL service. She told me to go to www.att.com/rewardcenter to apply. She did not offer me any
confirmation number. Now after seeing all the other complaints by other people, I wonder if ATT will keep their word. I tried previously to get fast internet service through Bell South. All I got was trouble from the start. I
finally had to back out of the service. Now it seems ATT is up to it again. I
will expect the $100 rebated to be sent to me in the form of a check ASAP!
