Dish Gold Promotion

[Mojo Jojo]

Passing this information along that I got yesterday via the newsletter as it may help some who have America's Top 120, 120 Plus, or 200 who were thinking of upgrading or want to upgrade to America's Top 250* (Please read the terms below):
http://www.mydish.com/redirects/promotion/gold-promotion/
I know that some may not see $10-$25 as much, but it is not everyday a company rewards you to upgrade your service.

*Offer valid for DISH customers who currently subscribe to America's Top 120, America's Top 120 Plus or America's Top 200. Must call to upgrade to America's Top 250 and mention offer at time of upgrade. The current price for America's Top 250 is $69.99/mo. America's Top 250 will roll to pay on your account at the regular rate. To change your programming, visit mydish.com/myprogramming or call 800-333-DISH (3474). Difference in package price for the first month will be refunded by mail as an American Express Reward Card. America's Top 120 and America's Top 120 Plus customers will receive a $25 Reward Card and America's Top 200 Customers will receive a $10 Reward Card. Maximum value is $25. Allow 4 to 6 weeks for delivery. Limit one Reward Card per DISH account activation. May not be combined with other special offers. This Card is provided pursuant to a loyalty, reward or promotional program and can be used only at US merchants that accept American Express Cards except cruise lines, casinos, ATMs, and recurring billing. © 2012 American Express Prepaid Card Management Corporation.

Just a reminder to anyone on a grandfathered package, taking this offer will likely eliminate your grandfathering.

I'm not sure I'm following. Just one $10 card (for AT200)....and package stays at $69.99?
Unclear about "America's Top 250 will roll to pay on your account at the regular rate."

Looking at that promo page (considering they have a pic of a gold metal and that this is a "gold promo"), it sounds to me that Dish wants subs to upgrade to AT250 so the subs won't complain about not having NBC SN for the Olympics. I understand Dish is trying to make money (and I have nothing against that) but to me, just put that channel in free preview for the 3 weeks the Olympics are on and that should be it. (Assuming of course they're allowed to put it in freeview.)

I understand what you are saying, but what do I get for paying for top 250 all the time if special events are going to be given to the lower packages? I notice they do this with Tennis. Another way to say it, I am paying for it, you get it for free.

Exactly what gives?Not sure what Dish is thinking here?
