I have been a Dish customer for 10+ years and just finished my latest contract. As an out-of-contract customer, is it possible to get new customer pricing if I agree to a new contract?
Our options are to scale back our programming package (I prefer to not do this), or to choose alternative to Dish Network (sling, directv, directvnow, etc.) or stay with Dish and get new customer pricing.
Thoughts? Thanks!
There are posts after posts that of how to get new customer discounts. I am astounded to see people say it isn't likely, it is VERY likely unless it has all of sudden been discontinued.
For what must be the 100th time.. Contact DIRT, ask about the current customer two year contract deal. Most current subscribers are going to be eligible. You can get $10 off any of the Top package from 120+ to Top 250 and the price you lock in will be guaranteed for two years. Many did this before the new price increases went into effect, I'm not sure if they have yet or not. Then, you can get an additional $5 off if you agree to Autopay. This approximates a new customer deal, they do get $5 off the Hopper DVR fee and they may get some premiums for three months that existing does not. But I am saving $15 a month, making the Top 200 $64 rather than $79.
(I also dropped from Top 250 because so many of the channels are now in the Top 200 and I saved another $10)
Also if you are interested HBO can be had for $10, some of us have it indefinitely, it may now be for a year. And, the Movie Pack can often be had for $5. I have all of that.
