Thanks for posting this. I was planning on adding Showtime once the new season of Dexter starts this month.

That backwards directv avatar looks so stupid.

My 12 year old sis would do something that.

i know but it still looks stupid.

 

[jcrandall]

This deal just got better, there is now a $25 rebate on Starz.

Essentially you pay $39 for both packages for 3 months and get $25 back.

Then if you call to cancel them after the 3 months, see what the rep's can offer.

Edit: See top post, now two rebates

Thanks Mr Jason Crandall

 

[dfecarter]

where do you see the mention of a rebate?

 

[stonecold]

Jason? Where are you getting 36.... Starz+showtime = 24.00 - 11.01 for the 2 for 1 offer?

 

[yorktown]

I didn't see any mention of a rebate either.

[yorktown]

Now I see it.

I printed out the rebate form.
I'll do exactly what it says but as with most mail-in rebates I won't expect to ever get it.

 

[jcrandall]

OK, a few minor detail mistakes.

It is $39 for 3 months, not $36.

There is a rebate for Starz on the DirecTV Starz page, and there is also a rebate for Showtime here:
Showtime Official Site :: Special Offer on Showtime! Order Now & You Can Get $25 Cash Back!

So actually, you can MAKE $11 if you sub to both for 3 months and submit both rebates. You must signup by 3/31, but have several months to mail the rebates (given they require two or three bill copies).

 

[jcrandall]

Jason? Where are you getting 36.... Starz+showtime = 24.00 - 11.01 for the 2 for 1 offer?

Sorry, meant $39. That would be the cost for 3 months.

Then they can get a $25 Starz rebate and a $25 Showtime rebate.

 

[This1]

I have a question I do not want to renew my commitment and I am not 100% clear on the whole thing So if I change a package or use any type of promotion to get hbo showtime starz etc... will this renew it

 

[jcrandall]

No change to your contract. YOu are buying a premium package, and it is your choice to discontinue it. You only must keep it 30 days or they charge $10 to remove it.

 

[Stanow]

Just wondering.........

Would we not be eligible for the rebates because of the Showtime/Starz package deal?

Aren't these things usually a matter of 'not valid with any other offer?'

They have always paid them in the past. Also, the Starz rebate is on DirecTVs homepage, and the Showtime/Starz promo is on the Starz page, I think we're good to go.

 

[DJ Matt]

This almost seems too good to be true, but it looks 100% legit from DirecTV's site. Is there any fees if you cancel before the 3 months is up?
