In the past when this is offered, they charged you $2.50 per month, but offset it with a credit per month of $2.50 for 24 months. If you cancel service before the 24 months they charge your account the balance. That was for a $60 camera, this one is saying a $120 value. I wonder if they will now charge you $5 per month, with a $5 credit for 24 months. The whole thing is to get you to upgrade to their security monitoring services for additional fees for more control and features.
Community Reviews
The free Xfinity Shield camera is mainly a live view security camera, with motion and people detection, app setup, and indoor or outdoor use. Shipping and activation appear to be working for some accounts, and one bill check showed no added charges after a week. The main catch is that recording, cloud storage, and playback require a paid subscription, and the camera may be useless as a standalone device. Eligibility and redemption are also flaky, with missing offers, error messages, and account specific availability issues.
Common Questions (5)
Eligibility appears to depend on account status and reward targeting, and some accounts simply do not see the offer in the app or on desktop. The camera may also require a primary Xfinity ID, an account in good standing, and in some cases Xfinity home protection or an activated Xfinity router and WiFi Shield.
The camera can be used for live viewing without a subscription, but recording, cloud storage, and playback require a paid plan, reportedly around $10 per month. It has no SD card slot, so those features are not available locally on the device.
Checking the lower-left membership benefits area and the redeem tab can help, and the app may work better if you close other Xfinity windows, use a saved link, and log in after noon. Some users also saw the offer appear only after activating Xfinity WiFi Shield or an Xfinity router.
The camera itself is free, but it may still be tied to Xfinity equipment terms and optional paid services. The main cost risk is the subscription for recording and playback, and some users are watching for any surprise fees after activation.
The offer did not mention extra charges in the terms some users saw, and one activated camera showed no added charges on the next month's statement. Earlier Xfinity camera promos reportedly used monthly credits and could leave a balance if canceled early, so it is worth checking the bill after activation.

My home page says "get eligible rewards failed" and has said this for weeks now.
Agents and support team seem to either not see it or say this is normal.
