Just called and got $40 a month. Not as good as you, but I'll take it.I just called the 8664442168 number and it was great.
Was on hold for less than a minute, Sam took my call, asked if I had ATT(I don't), and then simply pulled up the promotions page and offered me a flat $60 off a month for 12 months, no contract needed.
I was very happy.
Total call time was probably 7 minutes from start to finish.
I got the $60 as well. I don't ever remember it happening in previous years either.Tiger Fan said:
Yes. For this past year, yes.Tiger Fan said:
So you got this deal in 2017.....I don't think anyone has gotten it for 2018 yet. I'll be in the same boat for end of July.
Yep. I just check email.....I disconnected on August 6th last year and got a similar deal to yours on August 8th
Did you pass on the offer and waiting on Sunday Ticket? I'm curious if you can just get the RedZone channel stand-alone, I've tried for years and many reps have shot-down the idea of that being possible but it seems some have had success. I wish I could just pay $10.00 a month for just Redzone. I believe Fios offers that.
My "disconnect date" is 8/1/18 - I'm wondering if I should push that back? I'll likely be taking a one month hit of paying the larger bill.
I accepted the $60/mo offer and will call back next month about the ticket....having my "log" helps as I can demonstrate the past deals they have given me for being a long term customer with auto pay....no idea about stand alone redzone availability or cost as I'm only interested in the ticket max.....
Interesting. I was always told if you accept a deal, you have so many "credits" on your account that you won't be eligible for any other discounts or deals? They used to tell me that nothing else was coming up as you already have so many credits applied.

Seems the offers are all over the place this year. $12.50 off a month for Sunday Ticket? How much would that be then?
I finally gave up a few weeks ago. Tired of doing this dance every year. Just want RedZone anyways.

last august, i told direct tv, att, to go #### themselves and i hoped they would burn in the 9th ring of dante's inferno, for all eternity.
part of what ignited my initial fury of a thousand suns, was i called up to get new equipment (mine was at least 8-10 years old) they wouldn't give me the wireless genies, without a $99 install fee and a $150 charge. there may have also been some sort of monthly rental fee. i had been routinely calling, and getting, free stuff, every year for 10 years....
i had just mounted my new 65" smart tv on the wall, with nary a wire showing. i NEEDED wireless connections. As well as free st max. duh. they told me to pound sand.
so, i happily, cut that ####### cord. it's a new age, sky net is coming! i got this!
i got sling. i had netflix. amazon prime. google tv, etc, etc.
i got a firestick, added kodi, and was stealing #### left and right. bought real debrid, so the stealing part was easier/better.
i also, in my rage, told att internet to go #### a football too! their speed sux0red and couldn't handle my new maverick approach. i happily ended up paying more, for 150 speed, so i could stream more crap. (this was the only positive, to me losing my mind)
in the end, it all pretty much sucked donkey ****.
my wife was ready to let me go quietly in my sleep after a few months. but my dumb ###, held my ground! i was ready to die on this f'ing hill, such was my rage.
after 8 months or so, my wife, let alone my 11 year old kid, had had enough.
but then, an epiphany. let's call up and see what happens.
$300 gift card. free genie equipment. new dish. new wiring. free movies for 6 months. free STmax. $65/mo for everything except movies.

Now have to decide if the 8/1 disconnect date is "too soon" as the Ticket deals might not be there, just the movies
The buffering, the search/guide of sling. No cbs on sling. Sports coverage is lacking and is delayed a few minutes. Some days the kodi would lag/not work. Keeping the kodi up to date. Just a lot of tedious crap, that adds up and is just annoying.
Went back about 2 months ago.
Sort of. I was still inside s year, so was still considered a win back customer.
The buffering sounds like a router problem, not an application problem. Shark move would have been to ditch kodi and install terrarium.
it was both. i upgraded my router, switched internet providers with a 2.5% increase in speed, and kodi was starting to have issues. at least my no limits build was having issues. i got tired of dealing with it. which build, etc. i was looking into terrarium, when i decided to throw in the towel. there was also enough guilt (i know a lot of people that make their living in the movie biz) that i was cool letting it go by the wayside.
Well done. You just set a cancelation date same day? May I ask what number called you the next day giving you $77 off and free sunday ticket?
Exactly, sometimes it's worth the yearly DTV hassle call of 20-40 minutes versus a year long battle with staying ahead of the technology curve etc.

I'd be thrilled if they took off $77 and got me to $60 a month with free ticket.

And to piggy-back off that - Was your bill around $140 when it went up prior? If this is the case we can then start to piece together actually disconnecting giving yourself a $77 credit versus going to retention without disconnecting and getting a $60 credit. Plus the perks of physically disconnecting (ticket, gc, movies)
I just called up and asked what would happen if I signed up again. They transferred me to some sort of retention specialist, since I was still within a year of cancellation. Since you are outside of that, you might be a straight up new customer
i called and canceled right on the spot.told them i was getting an antena . Never asked for a discount. Was very nice on the phone told them i would not pay more for tv than my car payment. Ordered an antena . they called the next day. Talked to a guy named Maliek he was super nice. gave me 60 off and a 10 off for 12 months and stopped the 7 dollar charge for the second box for the bedroom tvGottabesweet said:
Yep. Didn't want the song and dance and was hoping the nice approach would work. I did the disconnect gig before, had them disconnect and got the all everything deal when i came back, but it took 4 or 5 calls over multiple billing cycles to get it all straight. This credit would show up, but not that. They'd add the that but take off the this and add something else. It was a serious PITA and debatable whether it was worth it in the end.
