    Free PPV credits from DirecTV?

    ADVERTS 1
    Just got a "Thanks" letter from DirecTV in honor of our "anniversary" being a customer. (Don't know if this is tied directly to the "Loyalty Program".)

    Anyway the letter said I get 3 Free Pay Per View Movies as a gift. It mentions I should select the "Use Credit" option after choosing a movie to watch. I see no "Use Credit" option when looking at ordering a PPV movie. Where is this located? Am I missing something?

    It is the loyalty program.

    Perhaps they want you to order them on the web?

    I received the same gift & as yet haven't been able to figure out how to use the freebies. It's definitely not available using your remote control. I'll try the website & see if 'use free credits is there'. I'd rather use that feature anyway as apparently that mirrors the PPV on all your receivers instead of just the one tied to the remote. I don't even know if it's for HDPPV's or regular PPV's.

    Oh what to purchase?

    See this thread:

    Starting in August, they are giving a gift to customers of 3 years or more in their anniversary month.

    You may not get a gift until July, but at 8 years, you should get something.

    I'd trade my 3 PPV credits for that hat.

    I tried ordering via the website & nothing came up claiming "use PPV credit" for the billing section. It's not on the receiver, it's not on the website & now that I got the VOD working it's not there either.

    Oh well, the thought was nice.
