I have been with DTV for over 15 years and cancelled Sun Tix a few years ago. It's more fun to go to a bar than watch at home, a lot more expensive, but it is not about the money.
Anyway, I called the other night and they transferred me to the group that handles this. I chatted with the guy for a bit, nice guy but sadly an Eagles fan. I did not try to pull any "I am going to cancel." I just said, I'd like to get Sun Tix free for being a loyal DTV subscriber. He went to his boss and gave me Sun Tix and Sun Tix Max or whatever it is called for free.
No pain, no whining....
But I don't think I will tell my wife I have it and will just keep going to the bar....
