Gavin in Va Beach Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 Check your bill folks. I was told that I was getting the Sunday ticket free by a rep (after going up the chain). Today I got my bill and they are charging. Spent another hour on the phone with them today. They are listening to my call to verify. All that to say, check your deals, for those of you that got a deal. This happened to me today. Called to get it straightened out but when the first rep spoke to me I didn't even bring up the messed up bill, just told her I wanted to cancel so I would get Retention because they can straighten the bill out much faster than a regular rep. She passed me to Retention and the guy I spoke with took about 10 minutes to figure out that my original rep who was supposed to enter in the code for the free ticket punched in the wrong one. He credited everything back to the account to fix. I said what else could you do since I had to take the time to call when you guys screwed up. He gave the account another $50 credit.

CountryCletus Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Call yesterday to cancel... Already had the free ticket, but I was jacked bc the game was blacked out... Go over to cancelation and the guy lowered my bill by $45 for 12 months, refunded me for the reg Sunday ticket which was $239 I think he said, gave me free Sunday ticket Max, and free Showtime for a year... That has to be $1200 in savings.... I about crapped my pants
Canadian Bills Fan Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Wow... So I called Rogers and the charge is $175 and its charged all at once not per month and it only includes NFL. I heard that if you order the NFL ticket Center ice,MLB,Nascar and NCAAF is also included Needles to say I said no thank you. Oh and big surprise, they have no promotions. CBF

CBF Wow, 175 is a pretty decent deal for ST. If all those other sports packaged were included, that would be a SWEET deal, IMO. Although, if it were me...I'd tell them to keep their NASCAR package. I'd rather watch the WNBA. lol

Kemp2Warlick Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Eye on Football @EyeOnNFL 8m The NFL is reportedly nearing a 'Sunday Ticket' deal with DirecTV that would be worth up to $1.4 billion annually. http://cbsprt.co/1pzioO5
Canadian Bills Fan Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Does anyone think $36/month for NFL ST,NHL Center Ice,MLB,NBA,and NCAAF is a good deal? CBF
plenzmd1 Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Does anyone think $36/month for NFL ST,NHL Center Ice,MLB,NBA,and NCAAF is a good deal? CBF I do . Think I pay $150!for the max, and I think I pay at least $150 for the hockey. Course, I would not get the hockey if I lived in buffalo as I really only watch Sabre games....same as the ticket really. MLB and NBA ....I would never even turn them on.
Bob in Mich Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Does anyone think $36/month for NFL ST,NHL Center Ice,MLB,NBA,and NCAAF is a good deal? CBF It is a great deal. No doubt. Is your wife good looking? If so you can buy one of those GPS tracking devices in case you're interested in where she goes at night.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 I called today after cancelling about a month ago with an offer on the table of 6 payments of $31.99 for Sunday Ticket Max.. I'm under contract for another year and have quite a few credits already on my bill that total $80/month. I called back this evening and received an offer of $163.96 ($40.99 X 4) Sunday Ticket Max from customer retention. I decided to accept since I have received STM for free for the last several years. I'll try for free again next year when my contract is up, but I'm happy with what I got. Good luck.

My bill is usually about $160 with all pay packages w/ no extra sports Feb through Aug. DTV ALWAYS adds on the Sunday Ticket Max which you can opt out of. Every August when I go to pay the bill I call them siting $200 is out of my budget etc etc etc I didn't even have to go to customer retention this time. not to repeat my self but Sunday Ticket Max for free, $8/mo off HBO for 6 mo, $12/mo off Cinimax or STARZ for 12 mo, and $20/mo for 12 mo for agreeing to stay a DVT customer for a year . Now Sept to Jan I will be paying $150/mo

Now Sept to Jan I will be paying $150/mo I doubt it was a mistake. As I stated, I'm already getting $80/month in credits and my contract isn't up until next September. You combine those two factors and the deal I received is about the best I could expect.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 So I tried to reason with my wife to justify getting the it but she isnt a fan of the idea. Sucks CBF

Canadian Bills Fan Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) That does suck. I would be all in on the deal you posted earlier. She likes sports but she thinks that we should be cutting back on money instead of adding stuff on. I came up with a plan on what we could cut from our cable and it worked out to half of what I would be paying for the sports pack. I even offered to stop buying coffee in the mornings and bring mine from home to negate the extra money. I did the math and it worked out to us saving an extra $15 per month but my wife is still under the impression that its something we dont need. I know I could be one of those husbands that just adds it anyway without telling her because I do all the banking but I like discussing things with her because after all, it's her money too. I guess in this case nice guys do finish last lol I tried talking to her last night and again this morning and she said "fine get it" but we all know that means I dont want it. I will try talking to her again tonight. I would like to get it ordered by tomorrow so I can watch Alabama on Saturday *fingers crossed* CBF Edited August 28, 2014 by Canadian Bills Fan

Part of my marriage vows were I get to have Sundays to myself for football. DirecTV and Sunday Ticket come out of my account. Edited August 28, 2014 by nucci

DirecTV and Sunday Ticket come out of my account. Do you and your wife have seperate accounts? My wife and I share the same account so she can use the argument its my money too which I can't argue with as she has a point CBF
IDBillzFan Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Last year I got a great deal of free Ticket and other credits to get my number down, plus a full upgrade to Genie. This year I repeated last year's story: I can't justify Ticket because I'm a Bills fan and few things are as frustrating as watching my team get eliminated from the playoffs early, only to have two more payments to make for that pleasure. The guy in customer retention noticed my address, said his parents live near me, spent 10 minutes telling me about them, thought my name looked familiar, and gave me Ticket Max for free (through a credit) plus a $15/month discount for the next year. So my advice is to keep calling until you find a person whose parents live near you.

My wife and I share the same account so she can use the argument its my money too which I can't argue with as she has a point CBF yes, separate...we got married in our 30s with our careers established. Never saw a need to combine. If she wants to go shopping and spend on clothes, shoes...etc. she doesn't have to clear it with me. She's an adult and can handle her own money. I can also get Sunday Ticket and Center Ice with no hassle.
