Starz/HBO 3 months free promo? For current customers.

[yaz96]

Others have mentioned they have 2 offers on their Dish account page.

1. $10 off for 12 months with NEW 24 month commitment

2. HBO/Starz FREE for 3 months, no commitment

I do not have these offers OR any offers on my page, because it says I have an annual plan (which I do not) and to call. Others have stated the same.

My question is-

Has anyone who does not have these offers on their Dish website page been able to call in and receive them?

I called in and they said because I already had HBO I could not get this offer. I have seen some say they have these 2 channels already and they are just crediting the account for 3 months.

Yep mine shows up as $20 credit for 3 months for Starz and HBO. "No Commitment" I've had the Everything pack for the last 5 months.
And my other offer was $10 credit per month for 12 months,but this also came with 24 month commitment.

Don't let the $109.98 Everything price fool anyone ,Its really $102.98. But when you add Playboy TV to the Everything pack its only $7 added to the price instead of $15.

I KNOW you have it Hemi, you're the one that told us about it :up

OK, after some CSR roulette, I was able to get the deal. I had to wait on hold about 10 minutes while the third CSR figured it out, but she did it. (Well, I haven't seen my bill yet!)

BTW, First CSR in India, 2nd in Colorado, 3rd in Jersey. So, you never know who can help you.....

So, the moral of the story -

If you don't see the HBO/Starz promotion on your page, you can probably still get it if you want it, and are willing to work for it.

You still have PlatinumHD, Hemi? VOOM is gone, you know.

 

[Hemi 6.1]

Thats good you got it. Some didn't qualify for both,and some did.

You still have PlatinumHD, Hemi? VOOM is gone, you know.

There was a time I didn't have $20 HD pack. But Twice E* sold me with 3 Months free back in August, and now $30 in credits for the next 3 months . It hasn't really cost me anything yet.

Just go and log in to your account and check the current offers. I picked up the $10 of for a year with 2 year commitment off of my account page. I chatted with a csr about max for a penny and they offered hbo and starz for free for 90 days. You still have to pay $5 to turn it off.

I just went and chatted with a rep. Here's my conversation:

I've heard some people talk about getting $10/month off their bill for resigning for 24 months. I wondered if I could get this offer?

It's strange that he said I'm under "no commitment", since I just Dish'd it up to get a second HD DVR (722), and then a few days later re-commited again to get HBO/Starz free for 3 months.

Maybe I'll try another CSR later.

I also meant to mention that when I click on "offers" on my account page, I get a message saying "Sorry, this service is temporarily unavailable."

I just went to my page and got the same message.

they offered hbo and starz for free for 90 days. You still have to pay $5 to turn it off.

That's not a free preview, it's a $5 preview. Just tell them no.

So the real question is, did you and your family have a wonderful day?

I went on chat today and got the free 3 months HBO/Starz with NO commitment. They said since I am a good customer and have auto-bill that I could get it. Now I am sitting pretty with a TON of movies. Nice.

 

[Rikimaru]

I've been a customer for a few years and already pay for HBO/Starz. When I upgraded one of my receivers to a 722 last month they gave me HBO/Starz free for 3 months.

 

[Spatch]

I just did the chat I had them drop the Platinum HD free for three months promo. Which they waived the $5 downgrade fee. They then added the HBO/Starz promo, without a commitment. I asked and they said no downgrade fee as long as I cancel it after the three months are up.

 

[Stacy A]

I get the "this service is not available" message today too. For the past couple of days it was different. There was a mention of 3 free months of HBO and Starz, but only in conjuntion with going with TurboHD.
