30th Anniversary promo ending

[panache70]

So does anyone have any idea if Dish will be offering any time of promo to those people who were on the 30th anniversary free premium gift?

I was one of those lucky guys who actually got 12 months free Starz (later switched to HBO & Showtime), 12 months free Platinum and 12 months free Encore Movie pack.

I know I was very lucky to get all three, and I am very thankful.

Just wondering if Dish will soften the blow for someone like me who will lose everything on Feb 1.

I will definitely have a heart attack when everything goes, and upping my package by 40$ to get everything back is not an option.

Hoping maybe Dish will offer 50% off for a while or something like that...

Maybe DIRT knows?

1/2 Price for Starz I believe.

That's a pretty weak 31st Anniversary offer....

Get those paddles ready!

If you are receiving Starz for the 30th anniversary, you may be eligible to receive Starz at half price for 6 months ($6.50).

LOL.

Well, after playing a few rounds of CSR roulette yesterday, it would seem that there is a 3 month free Blockbuster Movie Pass offer available and the 6 months of Starz for 50% off seems to also be available for HBO & Cinemax.

 

[Oblong Desoto]

I was told 12 more months of free HD Platinum Pack or 6 months of HBO, Starz, or Cinemax for half-price. A 24-month commitment is required in either case.

OOOOHHHHHHH, that's a good one.........


not.

 

[panache70]

12 more months of Platinum = 120$ Half price Starz for 6 months = 39$
Something doesn't make sense.
39$ certainly does not justify a 2 year commitment.

Just got starz for half off for 6 months. No new contract required. I currently dont have starz.

Do I need to call and cancel the free starz, or will they just shut it off after the 30 aniv promo ends. I really don't want to have to talk to them.

the 30 year promo automatically drops off

should be automatic as we never actually signed up for it in the first place. It was Dish doing it all themselves.

Edit: iceberg beat me to it... heh

Unless you took them up on the offer to switch the last 3 months for HBO/Cinemax. Then you need to go into your account online, "My Offers", and change the drop down for both to "Do Not Continue".

Mine runs out in three days. Started getting on screen nag windows about it yesterday.

Ice is correct the 30th anniversary gift will automatically fall off no action is required on your part, the my offers is for the 6 months half priced or for 3 months at no cost.

I am still receiving my 30th anniversary promo. It did not drop off. Did they extend it?

Mine looks to be gone according to dish online. I like the HD plat. guess I will get Blockbuster @home.
