Just got off the phone.....decided to play the "honesty card"
Me: Is this client retention?
Very Nice Woman: Why yes it is, what can I do to make your day better?
Me: To be honest with you I have no intention of cancelling. I love my Direct TV....just want to see if you can give me ST.
VNW: Oh, absolutely! Let me see what I can do....
A couple seconds...
VNW: OK, I've gone ahead and given you the Sunday Ticket for free....and I"m going to take $30 off your bill for the next 12 months since you've been such a good customer.
We ended up chatting about BS for a few minutes and then I asked to speak to her supervisor so I could talk her up to him...which I did. He said he would reward her for being such a great rep.
Was on the phone all of about 5 minutes....I'd call that a success!

You don't deserve the NFL ticket. Hey, if your time is so valueless you want to call and haggle strangers for a few dollars a week, more power to ya hinklemeyer. I truly hope they kick you out of the program, and never allow you to return. Leave it for those of us that actually appreciate it.I've had the ticket for 15 years, and got it free last year. $199 this year is a steal.
You just made my day. Been waiting for this news all summer long.
