After 25-plus years with Directv, I am now a cord (airwave) cutter. They wanted to reduce the bill, but I said no. Thank you for all the information on the DirecTV forum.

So much free stuff to watch with just a OTA antenna and a ROKU. Even better with a PLEX server with tuner connected to your OTA antenna.

just got $ 102 and some change off the premere packages for 12 months

I called to disconnect from Directv yesterday. They offered me $80/month off the Select package for 12 months, but I had already decided to go totally streaming. I may sign on with YouTube TV after a while, but between OTA, Hulu and Prime, I'm not missing much. They also offered free Sunday Ticket for the rest of the season.

The full price of Select is $94 a month. How could they possibly discount it down to $14 a month? It would be foolish to turn down an offer like that. Something doesn't add up.

$70 off per Month ? For how long ?

I have never gotten anything like that even offered.

For about a year my bill was around 15 dollars a month even with premier because I was getting $200+ discounts a month. This was around 2017. They were giving discounts left and right back then. It’s a lot harder now a days.

Its a shame they didn't take care of their long time subs like that ... (I don't know how long you've been there, but thats the way its been for a long time, once your 2 year commitment is done ...)

usually its for 12 months !

 

[dtv757]

picked a random bill... Aug 2019 (I think this was during the NExstar dispute)

 

[dtv757]

also found a random Verizon (bundled ) bill from March 2010 and that had over $50 in credits from D*

 

[dtv757]

just call them, be nice, and ask for promos. im sure there's a bigger thread on DBSTALK with the numbers to call !

I called and got half of NHL CI! I don't mind paying for NBA LP if they're going to be *that* generous.
