DirecTV Deals

Thank you.

Good luck, Mamacita - you gotta either feign your best hissy fit, or really throw one.

What specific language did you use? I have spoken to 3 people at DirecTV (using the phone # from the other thread) and they WOULD NOT BUDGE! I even mentioned that I know of others who got a discount. They acted like they had no idea what I was talking about and also said that as a returning customer, I already have the best possible deal. But I know that's bull.

Told them I had another offer from Dish and said match it or beat it or I will cancel.......Bam.... $10 off for one year!

I talked to some lady named Quita and she was cool as a cucumber!

I got a year of free SuperFan (complained about Sunday Ticket price rising).

I thought SuperFan was basically free for all DTV customers. Around draft time, I saw an offering for new subscribers that included SuperFan. As such, I called to make sure that I as a loyal customer would be receiving the same and was assured that I would.

I guess the rep could have added it at the time without actually saying so; but I was given the impression that it was an automatic offering for returning subscribers along with those new subscribers who accepted the limited time offer.

Well, after 2 calls I got $10 a month and HBO and Stars free for 3 months.

Thanks guys and gals!

I called hoping to get it for free and the rep said I already had it for free. ??? I'm a subscriber since 2000.

Well, I have had ST since the late 90's and when I added Superfan last year, they made me pay 100 bucks for it.

And this summer, when I got my first installment, I was billed separately for both.

But they do play fast and loose with the "rules" there. Other long time subscribers could have been getting SF for free, and now you've made me ticked off at them all over again.

A month or so ago when I got my HDTV I wanted the DVR for free. I found a Dish Network offer for a free one with new service. I then called DTV and asked what discount they would give me on the HDR, they said only minimal discount was available. I went through a couple people before I said send me to the dept to disconnect my service. Instant free DVR and Sunday Ticket.

Ah..... how I love Walnut!!!!

We're getting a new water tower!!!!

 

[miamicowboy21]

We'll after two attempts all i recieved was 10 bucks off for 12 months, and 2 free months of showtime. I'll call back in 2 weeks to see if i can get more, but they seemed determined not to give discounts on football packages. Last year seemed much easier in regards to get more things for free.

 

[Mattsdad]

Called yesterday and got $40 off my NFL Ticket.......now only paying $189 instead of $230.

 

[UppityCracker2]

I tried calling that number and it says that it is the "Customer Express" line. Anybody try this?

 

[UppityCracker2]

Didn't work. They didn't even care about offers from Dish Network for the free HD DVR. They gave me the traditional 100 bucks that you get credited every six months for a free upgrade and that was it. What crap.

$199 for an HD DVR upgrade.

 

[heavyg]

WOW!!! $230 for Sunday Ticket now?? I remember when I first got ST it was $119. Im sooooo glad I moved somewhere that I get every game on my local fox station.

 

[TRUTH87]

i wish you could just RENT a reciever and get ST. I might have to INstall DTV ...

 

[UppityCracker2]

Luckily I emailed also and they are going to have a representative call me within 48 hours to "try and meet my needs".

I hope she's cute

 

[UppityCracker2]

Unfortunately I will only know if she has a cute voice. Haha. If this works the email method may be the best way to do this.

It's not really. Chances are you'll have to call them anyways.

I had no idea we were supposed to get $100 credit or free upgrade every 6 months. So, does that mean they owe me a few hundred in credits since I never received them, and they refused to give me any upgrades (even though they promised I'd get them for free once they were available).
