Scheduling a new install in advance

[upsss]

How much in advance can I scheduling a new install? I am considering switching from Dish to Directv when my Dish contract expires in 8 weeks.

I just received from Directv this offer with a $200 Visa debit card but the offer expires in 2 weeks. I am wondering if I can use this offer now and schedule the actual install when my Dish contract expires.

Did you call Directv and ask them?

We have installs as far out as June, we've actually had them scheduled over a year in advanced. Why? No clue! How? Yeah, wondering myself. Some people live on schedule lol

Thanks Hutch.

Does anyone know if you can combine this $200 Visa card with the regular $100 referral offer?

Is your offer through directv itself or a 3rd party vendor?

It looks like the $200 offer is from Directv.

I was referred to directv and received a gift card as well. I would call them and ask.

If the CSR does not want to let you schedule out that far, ,says you need to have it installed in 2 weeks,go ahead and set it up, get your account active. Once you have your install scheduled and an active account, you can just reschedule the install for a later date. Just make sure that if you go that route you do not wait till the last minute to reschedule or you may end up with a fee. It used to be hard to get them to schedule anything beyond 2 weeks , but you could just keep bumping it out two weeks at a time.

I finally called Directv and they said no problem, I can schedule it whenever I want it. Also I was told that I can combine both offers, the $200 gift card and the $100 referral discount. So, $300 off, 5 tuners with an HD client vs. 2 tuners and SD on TV2 with my old VIP722, sounds like a great deal.

Nice. I'm loving Directv.

Its all done, the install is scheduled for 3/11 and no problems combining the gift card and the referral. Hopefully I won't regret the switch.
