Well, let's see, I got Starz free for a year. Got three months of HBO and three months of Showtime for free. Oh, and got NFL Redzone free. Yeh, Dish really ignored me.

Yea about four months ago I got the offer to exchange my 30th Anniversary Free Starz for one year to 3 months of HBO and Cinemax,so I had to wait until I had 3 months of Starz left to go before I switched over.I'm ignored too.

Correct me if I'm wrong here but Starz for a year and HBO/Showtime for 3 months sounds like the deal for new Dish customers, or are you saying you got those offers as a current dish subscriber? I have the America's everything package which is no longer even an offering, but includes all premium movie channels. Now from time to time I see offers for existing customers to add this or that for a discounted price for x period of time. Now in this case I get no such offer unless I'm going to drop a package then add it back at the promo price etc, etc, etc. All I'm saying here is toss a bone every now and again to those who can not really take advantage of these other savings.

The original poster said this was in his offers in his online account. If I login to mine and check my offers, as is the case 99.99% of the time, there is nothing.

So yes I feel ignored. Am I going to leave Dish? No, I'm happy with picture quality, channel selections, and customer service in no small part thanks to the DIRT is fantastic, it's just that with the amount of money I send Dish's way each month I'd like a little love as well, I'm not asking for a ring and till death do us part, but a little peck on the cheek and and I love you now and again would be nice.

You need to keep more in touch around here. We actually are an ELITE (when if comes to asking/getting ) group and do get some good deals. But you need to BE HERE on a regular basis to find out what and when. Dish is not going to be knocking on your door.

Again you miss my point. I am here maybe not always posting but reading, learning and sharing when I can. I have had members of DIRT here help me out and save me money as well. Why though must I feel like a begger? Why not using the 6 months of Starz as an example automatically add some credit to existing Starz subscribers, or maybe those who subscribe and are no longer under commitment. Yes those who have found their way here are far better off than those who have not, so basically what you are saying is new customers give them a deal, those who have found Sat Guys we're elite so give us a deal, everyone else poo on them.

Now I know the chances of this happening are slim to none and this is more a rant than anything else. Wouldn't it be nice though if companies treated their customers this way? I remember back when Adelphia was still in the cable business. Had service from them, again with all premiums (hmm perhaps if I just dropped the wife from my service package, then this would be a moot point ) when they ran a promo they would also kick a credit to existing subscribers of whatever the promo might be. Even when HBO et al had a free weekend they would kick you a credit if that channel was on your account. Perhaps that's why they are no longer in business, I''m sure the embezzlement had nothing to do with it.
