Call your local retailer, if you have a good one. We did a free H3 upgrade for a customer last week.
Do a search DIRT is being phased out by DEC. I believe. Their staffing is down.
The very best deal I've gotten a customer is $50 for the upgrade. That's the best I've gotten. Doesn't mean they won't do it for free, but in my experience, it takes an existing problem with equipment to wave upgrade fees and/or new contracts. Depends which CSR you get, too
I have never paid for an upgrade (HWS and H3) but I was always required to sign 2 year contract.
Thanks for the replies. Credit worthiness is perfect. I finally contacted one retailer and was referred to "Dish business Rules and Upgrade Fees".
Matt G finally replied and said $100 for Hopper and $95 for a tech visit plus new 2 year contract - real bargain ... lol ... not interested in that at all.
Am curious if Dealer does for free how do they make anything on the deal?

DIRT's hands are really tied on how much they can waive as far as fees. You can get a better deal by calling the Office of the President phone number. I read that the number that was widely circulated on this site has since been converted to a regular customer service phone number, but maybe somebody here can provide you with the new phone number for the Office of the President. (You might even be able to get that number from a DIRT member if you insist they give it to you.)
When I renewed my 2 year agreement last month, they gave me a free upgrade from a Hopper to Hopper 3 at no charge. I dealt with Dish Retentions directly.
Retailers make a small stipend from Dish for the upgrade. If we have a good customer who sends their referrals to us instead of the corporate line then we bend over backwards for them.
I upgraded in July and got H3 + Joey for no upgrade fee. Speak to the "Loyalty Team"
MY credit is over 800, but Dish wanted 150 dollars plus a service call or sign up for service contract. SO credit might help, but it does not mean much. I been with Dish at least 18 years and I am not in contract. I'll just keep my HWS that I have had 3 years.
I was told that I am eligible for a free hopper 3 upgrade but that a 2 year commitment is required. I totally understand the reason behind the commitment but I am just not willing to lock back into a contract at this time due to a forced update that has broken my current setup, that was working flawlessly and totally met my needs.
They don't pull your credit in the sense of Experian, Transunion etc; it's based on your "credit" reputation with Dish and the willingness to sign a new contract
