I did the same.Cut the cord. I have been in this thread since the beginning and always got free Sunday ticket plus. Nothing felt better than taking all their crappy equipment and sending it back. I can put my TV anywhere, no cords, no weather interruptions, no paying for DVR and equipment rental and the best, not having to deal with Direct TV! I was a customer since 1999 and they threw everything at me to stay and glad I didn't.
can you just get the original deal they offered you? It might not have been as good as last year bonanza but it was still a decent offer I thought. I think this is what they offered from an older post you made:
No, it's not there, or so they say. Don't ever disconnect. They think offers will be there but if you got many times before it's gone ,Because this year promo runs out next month the choice extra package with full home DVR and two more boxes is $125. Only credits they show are $10 for 12 and $20 for a 2 year agreement. I can get it down to 105 a month but not interested.
Disappeared because the account managers manager said to disconnect and he'll get me 47 off, ticket, and a Visa GC. Once it didn't appear nobody called me back because they realized what a billing mess it was. It messed up my billing dates and all that crap and partial charges on top of everything that took hours for them to figure out. The one lady is confident I won't have any good offers available in a month. I may just pay the 129 once, and try the day after my statement generates, just to piss them off that I'm calling again.
No kidding. As DTV's resident gimp, I'm petrified what they may do to me.NewlyRetired said:
"Oh God, this idiot again. I don't want to talk to him. You talk to him. I told him there were know deals. He wants to talk to our manager who should I give him. He thinks we are going to hand him deals. Just keep him waiting a bit and then they laughed. Then they talked amongst themselves for awhile.
I've gotta here what happens to you. Probably double the price of your bill and say deal with it.
We did (almost) the same...long time AT&T customers (since Cingular) and we just went in to trade up phones.
Try signing up under your wifes maiden name.
That's the plan. We are house shopping anyways. So as soon as we find something, cancel and sign up at the new house.
This is what I'm doing. Setting a cancel date, if no deal comes, actually canceling while on vacation for a week. If no deal comes within 4 days of disconnect gonna have the wife sign up for a one year contract, then try the same thing next year under her bill - switch back to me, rinse and repeat... I don't see why this won't work.
have you set your cancel date?
My deal expires 5/23. I'm really curious about that as well. Plan on calling this weekend and setting my cancellation date as 5/22.
Mine says:
I meant for you to check your recent activity window to see if something new has been added, not your last bill.
Sunday Ticket isn't a deal breaker for me since I get all the Skins games anyway. RedZone is nice, but not the end of the world. I would much rather keep getting the $47/month discount than Sunday Ticket, movie channels, or the GC.
Not terrible. With the way the negotiating has gone for most this year, I would take that. Better than having to go through the dance of setting up the cancellation date and all that.
yeah, I am really bad with this stuff. At least I did not have to set up a cancel date. I just asked for the latest promotion and she found the $25 extra on top of the $10 that was put in place to replace the $33 (very odd by the way, she said that the $10 was what makes it a 2 years savings so it looks like the was already planned last year but was not explained to me).
The rep told me last year that mine was a 1 year deal but it was set up so I could just sign up again next year and get the same deal - $43 mo. savings on Ultimate. I did finally get the $200 GC, 3 mo. HBO and ST.
The recent talk in the Cord Cutting thread has scared me. The talk of buffering issues even with a very fast internet connection would cause my family to try and kill me.
mine was one year. and a one year contract. Im seeing the same thing as Newly Retired on my bill.
you better get pyched up. Direct TV was giving away free hookers last year to anyone who called and you still had problems
excellent! I will be testing on a PS4 (which I own) and on a the fire tv box (which has been recommended to me to buy instead of the stick).

my new bill came in about $7 cheaper per month than what the CR told me it would. It seems correct though from what I can read through.
