Great savings for Directv subscribers

[O2HeN2]

I only got $20 a month off (Ultimate package). Oh well. Bill was ~ $130, now ~ $110. Not bundled with anything.

Folks getting tons off, could you post your package, if you're bundled with phone or internet and how long you've been a customer? I've been a customer for probably over 15 years. My ex-wife kept the account we got the DAY DirecTV first became available (June 17th, 1994? - as Hughes Electronics - I've got a story about the very first reciever smoking when I plugged it in ).

I've been a customer for almost exactly 2 years. Only TV and on the Xtra Preferred package, no movie channels either.

If you don't know, the xtra preferred is the same as the extra without the $8 a month local sports channel charge. We also lost the golf and tennis channels.... it's still hard to sleep but eventually, we'll get over it. ;-)

We have a Genie and 5 mini's.

This was our bill

DIRECTV Channels 95.28
DIRECTV Equipment Services 50.00

I called and said I was considering Dish due to the promotions on their site and asked what they could do. The trick is that you have to get to the retention department.

She gave me $60 a month off of the Xtra (plus we'll get the ~$8 for dropping local sports) and $20 a month off of hardware.

Hope this helps.

Yeaaaah, about that... We're doubling our membership fees here effective January 1st, so.....

You need a referral program where everyone donates 10% of the savings that resulted from a post here.

I had seen someone else post about this on another forum I frequent. Was skeptical, then saw this thread here. Called and got $40/month knocked off. Nice.

Gave this number to my neighbors. One of them called and is saving something like $1,400 over the next year. The other one thinks it's a scam and won't call because he can't find the number on their website. I suggested that he just call a number he is comfortable with and ask them directly. Still won't do it. Oh well.

I have the basic package. I paid my bill tonight, and it was $23 with taxes. Close enough to the $21 they told me, so I'm not going to complain. They offered the sports package upgrade for free for 6 months, she said I could watch all the NFL games. I told her no thank you, I didn't realize they were still playing football. Lol.

Some people hate money.

Over I believe. I told a friend, he called this evening, recording referred him to the regular direct line, customer service rep said no longer any holiday offers available. Glad I called when I did.

Glad I decided to call when I did, too. Free money!

I know you can get a discount for referring a customer. All you need is their account number and you both get $10 off for a arbitrary time. Let me know if you want to use my number?
