SDS Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 plus FREE DVR service for 6 months and a downgrade to my package to the $30/month tier... so, I would end up getting all that for $120. BEAT THAT! I'm still not sure I'll even do it, but maybe I'll put that box in the bedroom or the basement when it gets finished.
Steve In Atlanta 2008 Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 I'll bite! How's you do it! Who cares it isnt the NFL ticket
SDS Posted September 8, 2009 Author Posted September 8, 2009 I'll bite! How's you do it! 1st of all, not to get all moral here, but I'm not a real big fan of calling up a company and pretending that I am dissatisfied, just to get discounts. I don't know, that just doesn't seem right to me. Anyway, I already canceled the ST last week and today I called to cancel my DTV service all together, because I got FIOS Triple Play. So, I was legitimately leaving and this was their best effort to keep me (or should I say their best effort to keep their ST subscriber base up). I may still leave, but I'll think about it for a few more hours.
SDS Posted September 8, 2009 Author Posted September 8, 2009 Who cares it isnt the NFL ticket what are you talking about?

I don't know, that just doesn't seem right to me. It's a game-playing thing. Many people I know do that just to get what they want, but I'm with you...it doesn't seem right to me, either.

I may still leave, but I'll think about it for a few more hours. Tough call...I've never been a big fan of satellite, but having Sunday Ticket for free is *almost* a no-brainer.

Tough call...I've never been a big fan of satellite, but having Sunday Ticket for free is *almost* a no-brainer. well, it isn't really free totally. It ultimately will cost me $120 for the ST, a base programming package for 4 months, and DVR service. Which is $80 more than I plan to spend with NFL game rewind.
DDD Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 I called yesterday and also voiced I may have to cancel Direct TV due to the economy. I was offered $10 off of my monthly service and no monthly $10 HD access fee, both for the next year. In total I will save $240 for the next year. I specifically talked about getting NFL ticket with no extra charge for the HD package but this was not offered.
Steve In Atlanta 2008 Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 what are you talking about? Youll see...

I wouldn't give it to you either. The people gaming the system call up and "ask for things". I can see asking to match a deal being currently offered by FIOS, Dish, or cable, but the 1st sign that someone is asking for free football, I would go tell you and anyone else to go pound sand. I called and said "cancel my service". Period. When they offered a discount, I said "no cancel my service". They they offered another one and I said "no, cancel my service". And we did a few rounds of this. I wasn't milking them for anything and they could have, at any time, said, sure and honored my request. I would have been fine with that because I am/was legitimately leaving.
SDS Posted September 8, 2009 Author Posted September 8, 2009 Youll see... either add something of value here or get out of my thread.

You said you would get ST free including dvr and a downgrade for your 30 monthly service? I bet theyre DYING to keep your $30 month service haha... Something doesnt jive
Steve In Atlanta 2008 Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 either add something of value here or get out of my thread. Why Youre adding ZERO value here you cheap ass so get off the site withe this BS you skank

I bet theyre DYING to keep your $30 month service haha... Something doesnt jive I don't really care what you think doesn't jive. I was offered this deal because I'm a real customer who is leaving, not someone gaming the system. I could care less if you believe me or not. Do I have something to gain here by lying to everyone? and no they aren't dying to keep my $120. They ARE dying to keep their ST subscriber base up though.

Nervous Guy Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 1st of all, not to get all moral here, but I'm not a real big fan of calling up a company and pretending that I am dissatisfied, just to get discounts. I don't know, that just doesn't seem right to me. Glad to see that there are at least 2 people here that feel the same way as me...I've been feeling like an outsider that I didn't do the "pretending"...just didn't feel right about it.
