Military discount

I had recently called AT&T to pay my wireless bill and spoke with a nice woman who offered me some information: That I could receive a military discount as long as I took my ID into my local AT&T store. I did not need my husband to be present with me.

I thought, "Great!" As he is states away, stationed on active duty away from me.

So, I go into my local AT&T store in Roseville, MI. Explain what I am there to do. Keep in mind, I have been with AT&T for almost six years at this rate. I tell the gentlemen who is helping me I have my ID with me. And, I'm told no. Because the account is in MY name. Now, my husband is active duty, states away and I am LUCKY to see him a few times a year. I have my OWN ID with my OWN DoD number, which, is NOT my husband's ID number, but no. I am not "allowed" to use that??

Really AT&T?? That ID pretty much recognizes me as a member of an active duty serviceman, gives me my own benefits number and everything. But, sacrificing seeing my husband few times a year so he can serve is apparently enough to your company.

Thank you AT&T, for making my decision to LEAVE your company easier. I have called two other phone companies who would have given me that discount with MY ID alone.

Looks like I will be taking my wireless AND U-Verse business elsewhere.
