Typical save reports

πŸ—£οΈ Step 3 β€” Open the call (say this)

"Hi, I need to cancel my Xfinity service. My monthly bill has gone from $X to $Y over the last [time], and I've been comparing prices with other providers in my area."

Be polite. Always. Reps with discretionary authority give MORE to nice customers, not less. Acknowledge the rep is doing their job β€” make it clear it's the company's pricing that's the problem, not them personally.

πŸ’° Step 4 β€” What to ask Xfinity for

These are offers community members typically report seeing from Xfinity. Not a guarantee β€” your offer depends on tenure, location, rep authority, and the time of month. Ask for the highest one and work down.

πŸ›‘οΈ Step 5 β€” Handle Xfinity's objections

"I can't offer you that β€” those promos are for new customers only."

"I understand. I'd rather not switch carriers, but the bill is unsustainable. What CAN you offer to keep me?"

"Your current bill is the best rate we can offer."

"Then I need to start the cancellation process. Please transfer me to your retention department."

"If you cancel, you'll lose all your services right away."

"I'd like to keep services until the end of my billing cycle. What's my final disconnect date?"
