I didn't get close to anything like that from DirecTV. Got the $200 gift card offer, Sunday Ticket (I am not an NFL fan), and $20 a month off. I'd been with them for seven years.
Post what DirecTV retention offered you!

Like anything it's YMMV but some of the other posts said the rep they talked to only gave them a few things at first and had to be asked for additional goodies. I take it you set up a cancel date and they contacted you. Until you get in their system you wont get all of the perks. I still had five months left on my contract and had been with them since 2001.
I might try setting a cancel date when my contract is up in a couple of months and see what happens. I would actually be willing to try Dish again if it goes wrong.
He said he wasn't an NFL fan, so the 'value' of NFL Sunday Ticket is zero to him as it would be to me.
Did he infirm them of that ?
Did they offer anything else ?
How long was the 20 off for, if 24 months, many times it is, that's 480 AND they gave him a 200 dollar gift card.
If the 20 off was only for 12 months, that's still over 400 dollars they offered him.
Note that I didn't say it wasn't a good deal just that the NFL part had no value to him. When I dropped D* they offered me quite a bit too, but I switched anyway.
Not when I can save $720 as opposed to $240 on services that I absolutely want. I would not watch a minute of Sunday Ticket.
I couldn't use the $200 card for D* service -- so I'd still be paying over $100 for TV, which was simply not acceptable. I determined what my Mediacom bill was for TV alone, with the equivalent of the Choice Xtra package, as well as HD and whole-home TiVO service, and asked DirecTV if they would match it. They said no way.
Why could you not use the Visa (or whatever card it was) towards your D* bill ?
I do that every year.
They also said I could get the HR44 but when it came it was a 34. No disappointed because I figured I would not get the 44, I called and let them know. They said the only guaranteed way to get the 44 was to get Wireless clients and a $99 set up fee that cannot be waived. I said no, I don't need the clients and will continue to use the sluggish 34. Then they offered me $15 of a month for 12 months plus SHO, HBO and MAX free for 3 months.
I was ok with that...
Had you happened to mention to them that you were planning on using the wireless portion of the HR44 to connect to your internet, they would have sent a 44 ... at least they did for me.
the 44 is the only box that works flawlessly with their software imo that's a joke.but not funny.
