    Bait and switch?

    Nothing to type. Just copy the link below, delete the single space, and press return. Best to do it on your phone. It's directv's mobile website, so if you're using a desktop browser it will likely redirect somewhere else ht tp://mobile.directv.com/offer/best_offer No point in capturing more...

    Bait and switch?

    copy the link into your browser and take out the space between the two t's: ht tp://mobile.directv.com/offer/best_offer It links to the image I posted with the terms and expiration date I described.

    Bait and switch?

    No. I am talking about a currently advertised offer at Directv.com that lists an expiration date of Oct 22. I don't know what your hypothetical is. I'm not sure if you're reading clearly. I provided the link above. The forum won't allow me or probably any forum member to post links to...

    Bait and switch?

    No that's not bait and switch, that's theft. Bait and switch has a very specific legal definition. You don't need to buy anything for bait and switch. It is a marketing ploy. There's a definition below for you. I mentioned a couple times I can't post the link because the forum says it's spam...

    Bait and switch?

    It's from Directv's website. Actually it's still there in at least one place, but I can't post the link because the forum thinks it's spam. Their supervisor said they could get me to a customer service person for an adjustment after taking an order. We went through all that and credit checks...

    Bait and switch?

    Claude, the expiration date is in the fine print in the top of the ad I posted. It says it expires in a few weeks - 10/22/16. Bait and Switch doesn't require the buyer actually purchase anything. It's when the seller reneges on an advertised promotion and offers other higher priced goods and...

    Bait and switch?

    The ad I posted yesterday was live from the Directv website, not a third party, and this morning they updated the ad on the mobile.directv.com landing page to "monthly equipment fees for up to 2 rooms" (down from from 4 yesterday), so their advertising was inconsistent with their packages. I'm...

    Bait and switch?

    Here's the ad I saw today. On the left it clearly says now included monthly equipment fees for up to 4 rooms. On the right it says the Genie is included too. I am not trying to make any money, just understand what they are trying to pull. I apologize in advance if this is against...

    Bait and switch?

    Greetings, I am a new forum user. I'm wondering if Directv has any retail locations in the SF Bay Area. I tried calling in but they were frankly disingenuous. I was looking at getting a Directv install in a vacation home and just spent 45 minutes online with receptionist Stephanie in some call...
