Has anyone received any deals/offers for the 2016 for NFL Sunday ticket package?
 
I got it for $160 in March...not sure if its a "deal"....but they had knocked another $40 off after I said no to first offer....and I have been paying monthly since the offer...
 
I haven't seen too much in regards to offers through various forums or people I know with Directv. I'll be curious to see what happens this year with the addition of ATT.

I'm hopeful as my contract expires in July and the small amount of credits ($15 a month) expire as well to have a little leverage. Last year the best I got was $160 for Max and that was after numerous calls of being told "nothing was available". But again, still had one year left at that time.

It'll be interesting to see what offers are posted here in next couple months.

I've been getting it for about $180 for the last several years, figuring that was a decent fair price.

I agree, fair price and wouldn't complain. I've been with Directv for 6 years and received it free every year except last season. So when I got it for $160 I didn't complain as I had benefited previous years. Now, I only call once a year inquiring about monthly credits or ST discounts. I usually start calling mid July and August seeing what's available. Some reps offer a lot, some don't just depends on who you get.

With ATT on board now it'll be hard to gage until people start posting deals. With the base package including streaming this year is nice, for me at least. I won't need Max although I like Red Zone, but can live without it based on additional cost.

I dropped the Max last year as well.
I think the only time I ever had it free was the year I signed up, that said, I don't think I've ever paid full price either.
 
I re-up for two years and was flat-out denied for a Sunday Ticket discount and nevermind free... I was offered $35 off for 24 months and my equipment was upgraded to 3 room Genie

Going to use gamepass with a vpn this year. Probably going to dump D* once my contract is up and move to Vue. Like 1/3 the price and more or less has the same stuff I watch on D*.
 
I called to cancel NFLST hoping for a discount. Their only question was ..."Are you sure?" and I said yes, and she said "I can take care of that, is there anything else?" I said, "Nope." That was that.

I can live without it, but I love The Red Zone.

This all came about after upgrading to 4K with a 2 year commitment. I thought they would offer something, but they didn't.
 
I called in today asking what the options were with the retention team. Only option they have right now is $9 off the 6 month payments.

She said other things like free red zone or half price and such that they normally have are not in their system yet.
Of course, coming out of a merger they may be loaded soon, or may never be loaded.

. They wanted to give it to me for 6 months $190 I said no and they said call back in August they have better deals right before season starts
 
Remember, with AT&T now owning Directv, I see many of the past good deals people got being slowly dwindled down. I'm only base this opinion off how much they screwed up their means of retaining their cell customers. Once my current cellphone kicks the bucket (hopefully a long ways away) I'm leaving. There giving my wife this impressive deal for a new phone at only $20 a month for 30 months. She's had the same phone for 4 years and they now seem to not want to give her a deal with a new contract. This stinks for Directv customers who are now under the umbrella of a cheap skate company.

Ummm, Sir, if you look at the industry you'll see that NO ONE is doing contracts anymore.

As for ATT not giving good deals any more .... because of the merger, that too is false.
I am talking with people every day that are real happy with the deals they are getting with thier D* and ATT Cell or internet.
They are even locking you in for a great price for 2 years.
 
I called on Friday to cancel ST and the rep said he could take care of that for me. He made no attempt to offer anything or direct me to retentions. After a short wait he said he was able to cancel it for me. I guess I'll call back in a couple of weeks to see if there are any deals then.

Um, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon are still giving deals to sign up or renew after a period of time. My wife is still using a Galaxy S4 that she bought brand new in 2013 or 14 or whenever it came out. AT&T won't even throw her a bone on any of the "lower desired" models. I'm not saying she should get a brand new iPhone for $100, but telling us that a Motorola for $18 to $20 a month for 30 months is a deal, is freaking rediculous.

So sir, that's where I'm coming from. AT&T are taking people for rides. The others are a bit better with giving deals to their customers. Read my post again. I said with Directv, I believe AT&T would have Directv's historically nice deals PHASED OUT!!! "Slowly disappear", or something to that nature.

I'm not bashing Directv, I'm simply saying that AT&T, in the cell service department, has gone down hill with giving good offers, to which I believe will reflect on their practices with their new property (Directv) in the future.
