Great savings for Directv subscribers

[Chaffee2]

I just called Directv and they have a holiday promotion going on. If you are a current customer you can get $50 or $60 a month off your bill for a year. No strings or contract required. Check it out. My bill went from $83 per month to $23. The number I used was 1-800-778-3397

Got a phone number for where I can make a ton of money working from home?

Are you saying the original post is not correct?
My bill is a lot more than $83 a month and I thought I had agreed to a new 2-year commitment when I switch my cell phone service to AT&T and got a "big" discount for that.

Seemed like something I would see in the comments on some web page. Just struck me as kind of spammy here in the forums.

If you feel the desire to call, don't let me stand in your way.

LOL, I called and got my bill lowered from $140 down to $60 for the next 12 months with no contract extension. Pretty darn good deal if you have them.

Okay, I called the number with Gman's permission.
There was no specific holiday promotion, but the representative did a search of all discounts that I have not used.
I upgraded the service from HD to HD with Genie, including free upgrades of 3 boxes and remotes - to be installed next week.
The installation fee of $24 was added and then credited.
I changed my Premium Package around switching to HBO from Showtime (additional $4/month savings for special HBO pricing this month - for 12 months).
And, I got the maximum discount of $60 off a month for 12 months - savings of $720 for the year with no charges for the upgrades.
The representative explained that discount was available because I have been with DirectTV for 5 years and have not asked for any discounts. (Shame on me??)
Chaffee2's post has paid for my membership here on the Forums.
Thanks!

I did some quick Googling and it looks like the real deal. There's a Reddit that was posted 14 days ago that DirecTV was giving "loyalty discounts". This was picked up by Slick Deals, Tech Crunch, etc.

I love you guys. I called, got a $60 a month discount for next 12 months. Now I am paying $20.98 a month.

THOSE FU@%*RS!!!
About a year and a half ago, I called them to see what they could do for a 20+ year customer in good standing. After over 45 or more agonizing minutes on the phone arguing, complaining and pleading, they were "finally" able to give me a $20/month promo discount for 12 months, and a "just call at the end of the term, and we can set something up for you again".
Several months back, when my rate went back to normal, I called again, to see what they could do on my bill. All I got was a "Thank you for being a loyal customer, but we have nothing available to you at this time".
Sorry, I said, but I will no longer be needing your services. They didn't bat an eye.

Now they're handing out near-free programming, presumably to stop the exodus of cord cutters tired of the overpriced programming? Thanks for nothing, a-holes.

Good for you guys, though. If they had given me a deal like that, I would have gladly stuck it out for another year.
