Grrr. Before June 3rd my online account always showed me eligible for a 3 month HBO/Showtime deal if I agreed to "remain on autopay." I kept holding off using it, because I wanted to wait until I could use it to watch Dexter next season.
Now that I've been Grandfathered into HD for Life, that offer is gone. Instead I have the option of staying on autopay forever or forfeiting HD for Life and paying an extra $10 a month.
So, I guess HD for life is just a way to get me to stay on autopay with the threat of an extra fee if I ever leave, instead of enticing me with a free offer down the road. I don't mind much...frankly, it was sort of ridiculous that they were going to give me something free in exchange for me doing absolutely nothing...but I'm kicking myself for not grabbing that free 3 month offer while I had it.
