Any Deals on Center Ice?

[Mr Tony]

Who cares? Someone is taking this way too seriously (but then again your signature proves that discounts to you mean little to nothing)

If Directv is willing to give a discount to someone who calls in how is that misuse? I can understand calling in every week asking but if you ask at the beginning of the season so what? I already posted my experience. Added sports pack for college football season, called in a month later to remove and they gave me $60 to keep it. Did I want to get rid of it? nah not really. I wanted to see if they would give me a discount and they did. After all they keep calling me about adding them damn movies to the account which I dont want.

I called Qwest (my internet provider) this spring to see if there was a better option out there. They couldnt find one but still gave me $10 a month off my internet and $10 off my Directv (since I bundle) for a year.

Last year I called Sprint about my account and they gave me $10 off my plan for a year (well it was free texting but that is $10 a month)

If a provider gives you a discount why is the customer the bad guy? Its the provider who decides to give the discount. They can say no ya know.

Great post.
I've had just about all the sports packages.
I've been with Direc since 1997.
I agree with Stone that badgering a company for constant discounts is unacceptable.
But if they are running specials on sports packages for subs in good standing by all means ask about it.
Why should all the new folks get all the good stuff?

dont hate ice,

just cause i pay my bills and dont look for handouts

whats wrong with asking for discounts, nothing

asking for discounts on expensive sport packages year after year isnt right

IF YOU CANT AFFORD OR NEED DISCOUNT TO JUSTIFY SPORTS PACKAGE DONT PURCHASE IT!

 

[Mr Tony]

how about this......lets get back to the topic at hand, shall we?

And quit with the petty whining about if someone asks about a discount. I've already posted two thigns on it
-we had a huge thread on it for NFL ST
-asking once in a while isnt that bad

by the way....you better go to the dish area...someone asked about deals for current subs

 

[stone phillips420]

lets do that.
ice order up center ice and see if they give ya discount.
post your results here.
center ice ordered here via auto renewal, didnt ask for discount nor was one offered

 

[Mr Tony]

I guess you missed post 18
Maybe I'll call tonight and see what they say

Like I say the worst thing they can say is no

 

[stone phillips420]

i didnt miss it, im just not holding my breath waiting

 

[robjlevin]

I call every season to ask about CI discounts. Every year I get a discount.

I don't feel the slightest bit guilty about it, either.

 

[bbixler]

not being personal, just remembered a similar thread last year right away when i saw this.
the providers set their prices for a reason, otherwise they would advertise price is negotiable.

imho if one asks for discount on st then turns around and ask for ci discount, im thinking ei discount maybe next. to me thats misuse/abuse.

keep my mouth shut, shut it for me please.

since you like saving money if you have 15 minutes i can save you upto 15% on your car insurance

Stay Classy San Diego.....of course anyone that brags about being a season ticket holder to every event except the annual Minnesota beaver hunt seems to be a few fries short of a happy meal.

center ice ordered on directv comes in fine
center ice ordered on dish what a hassle
channels were listed on bill but didnt show up on any of my irds
2 phone calls and 1 chat via dishs site the channels are now coming in on 2 of my 3 irds, the third being a 922 well apparently a 922 specialist will be calling back in 20 minutes to see if ci is working on 922

ugh i go through this hassle with ci and dish every year its ordered and on bill but never shows up when free preview ends.
thats what i get for calling at 545pm cst rather than calling this morning and getting these issues figured out before the games started today

even with the problems dish has had with center ice on my account no discounts offered

 

[Mr Tony]

called the 1st time and the lady wouldn't give me any discount....but wanted to sell me Showtime free for 2 months...no thanks
called back and the 2nd person offered $5 off a installment...so $20 off. Said I'd think about it

 

[crimpshrine]

I got $20 off a month for 6 months before the season started. So I guess I saved $120 on CI this year.

so lemme understand this Paul....
you supposedly have NHL CI on Dish yet a month ago you posted these gems in a thread (the same thread)

if you want center ice save your money its worthless on dish

far better value for direct, dish is just stealing money from peeps.
if this is the way dish does center ice which it is, perhaps they should not offer package at all

so in my post im trying to help the op understand save your money and dont get center ice with dish

dish will show dead air or crawler before they will pony up more money to show more hd sports

So why subscribe to it on Dish? And then you post in the Directv area about your issues with CI on Dish....and how come? Has nothing to do with the subject at hand which last I checked was "Any deals on Center Ice" and this is the Directv area.

Were you already a subscriber? That is a good deal

 

[crimpshrine]

Yeah, I was a subscriber last year and they gave me a deal (not as good as this year) and got that one this year. And I have only been with Directv for just over a year, so technically they could of have gave me nothing...since I am under contract.

Apparently i like to waste money once a year Tony. my post was about ci and i forgot the thred was directv specific. it was dealing with ci and discounts so is valid. if you were so concerned about it perhaps you should edit that part of the thread as its pertaining to the wrong provider.

cool. I've been a customer coming up on 2 years but I didnt sub last year to NHL CI (lack of funds honestly)

I wish the CBC feeds would be in HD more. That is what sucks versus last year. NHL Network had the HNIC games last year...this year they dont sans the late game the next day. Those games were in HD. This past weekend was the 1st that the "main" games were in HD on CI

 

[storey13]

I am curious if they are giving CI discounts due to so many of the feeds coming from fox sports channels? Someone on another thread said that we may lose HD feeds or will only get the standard CI feeds which I don't really know what that means. I am planning to call in to order CI today, since the free trial ran out this past weekend and this is the first St. Louis Blues game since the free preview.

 

[lern4483]

I decided to pull the trigger and get center ice. Plus HD sports pack.
I'd give it a try and see if any deals on package.
I was getting CI regardless but like any good consumer I'd like to save some money.
The csr gave me CI for 120. Paid in full.
Plus 7.99 for sports pack.
No begging no harassing. I was polite.
Never hurts to ask!
This deal is out there for people.

Ice try again!!
