Question about HBO,Starz Free Offer ?

I think what you are looking at is for new subscribers, or subscribers that have left Dish and are returning, but no longer considered new subscribers, but they are not an existing subscriber either - they are a "former" subscriber.
Yea maybe. This is the first ,I've seen this promotion. I'm not sure I like these terms Just for 3 months of Programming. Auto pay and E* scare Me to death. :)
 
All I can tell you is this is what I was quoted as the terms. I then asked specifically if it extended my contract and I was told no.

I hear you about the auto pay ... but thus far ... Dish has not fouled my bill up yet ... hopefully I did not speak too soon ;)
 
Looking at my recent activity for my online account today.

I see 2 credits of $20, total $40 for HBO/Stars.

I see 2 credits of $10, total $20 for PlatinumHD.

I also see a credit for my BronzeHD. This is odd to me.

I then see a charge for "4 Premiums". This is also odd to me.

I "chatted" with Dish about this and they said the 4 premiums are: BronzeHD, PlatinumHD, HBO, Starz. It all works out in the end as 4 premiums are $40.

I just thought I would give folks a heads up.
 
$10 and change as the credit was for a little over a month. This just must have to do with when I requested it and my billing cycle.

It all made sense when they explained what the "4 premiums" were. I just never knew that PlatinumHD and BronzeHD were considered premiums. Either that, or this is how they do it such that it is cheaper for them ...
 
Color me confused also.

My recent activity, after activating the free HBO/Starz shows the following:

Credit for Gold 250
Credit for Gold HD

Charge for 4 Premiums

Credit for DVR Advantage (?)
Charge for DVR Advantage (?)

Credit 1 of 3 (HBO/Starz)
Credit 2 of 3 (HBO/Starz)

I don't understand who programs their systems but it often seems WAY more complicated than it needs to be, thus resulting in errors.

I'll have to keep an eye on my bill. I'm not that concerned about a pricing error, more than I'm worried about losing any of my programming (funny priorities, huh?)
 
I kinda confused on my statement. Take a look at mine and see if they are correct. I have the previous & latest statement that has the 3mth HBO & Starz offer. Also, I just cancelled the HD Platinum as we speak:confused:
