    Does DirecTV do Black Friday or Cyber Monday promotions?

    My friend (who is an existing customer) called to upgrade his DirecTV to HD and when he asked about offers or promotions, the CSR didn't really offer much, and this was speaking to the Retention department. This seemed a bit unusual considering my friend isn't under any (2 year) contract and...

    Free PPV credits from DirecTV?

    Just got a "Thanks" letter from DirecTV in honor of our "anniversary" being a customer. (Don't know if this is tied directly to the "Loyalty Program".) Anyway the letter said I get 3 Free Pay Per View Movies as a gift. It mentions I should select the "Use Credit" option after choosing a movie...

    Movers versus Rentention Well, I just got off the phone with DirecTV. Movers Connection switched me over pretty quickly to the Retention department when I asked about getting new DirecTivos. Basically, Retention offered me free installation, free dish/switch, and 2 free new DirecTivos with...
