I just got my direct tv installed yesterday, so I'm automatically free this year. When you renew a contract, are they always 2 year deals? If that's the case, my brother and I will expire on alternating years so I'm sure we will easily be able to work that to always get the ticket for free. We just have to alternate who drives each season. I'd rather save this negotiation game for center ice.
Anyway, the installer showed up at 5:30 even though they gave me a 12-4 window. On top of that, when finished, he didn't bother putting the panel back up on the wall that covers the wires. I feel like I can use all of this to get some deals. Is it worth it as a brand new customer? I don't want to have some crazy note on my record like Elaine did with her medical record.
