3 Months free of Showtime and HBO

[Tecmo SB Guy]

You guys see the new offer on the website (since the HBO/Starz one expired today)?

3 months free of Showtime and HBO.

DISH Network - 1.888.825.2557

So I have a question. My 3 free months of Starz and HBO expires next Wednesday, May 20.

Am I ineligible for this Showtime/HBO offer because I already just recently did the Starz/HBO offer? I mean can I go back-to-back with these offers?

My 3 months free was up a few weeks ago and I called to cancel before they started charging me and the rep on the phone gave me the new promo for another 3 months HBO/STARZ so they did this for me.

I had the free HBO/Starz. I cancelled before it expired.....I just did an online chat and they told me I'm not eligible for the new Promo. Damn. I'll have to pay to watch Weeds.

Try, try again...

Did you currently have the HBO/Starz promo so they just added Showtime??

 

[empiretc]

my bill has always showed the "ala carte: hbo/sho free 3 months" but we never received the channels. it didn't bother me much, but I got on an online chat today and the rep instantly added them on the 3 month promo and apologized that we were never receiveing them to begin with.

i hope he didn't do something sneaky and sign us into a commitment without me knowing. i c/p-ed the session just to be on the safe side.

i say give it another shot. they need to keep as many customers as they can.

Do these offers require you to extend your contract if you're an existing customer?

Tried again today with an online chat and they added it for me within seconds.

Nope.

When I logon to my Dishnetwork account it says no current programming offers. Is that offer just for the Turbo pack subscribers? "John"

I'm in a classic pack. It wasn't listed on my account under programming offers, but an online chat yielded the result.

On-line it says you must sign up for AutoPay and Paperless Billing. Did anyone who signed up via phone call have to do that??

 

[Rlanham]

I set the HBO/Starz to auto cancel. It did, but I was charged for it on my bill going out 5/15. Online chat said it would be credited on NEXT months bill... grrrrr !!!
