Noticed my bill was 1 cent higher than normal this month. I've been charged the annual fee for Cinemax.

I might have to struggle a bit, but hopefully I will be able to afford this extra expense.

Maybe they could help you out with an installment plan.

Might have to start taking a penny from the "take a penny" tray.

I couldn't remember when my next year of Cinemax rolled over, but then I saw this thread. I went online to check and it looks like I wasn't planning ahead, for I, too, have an extra .01 charge on my bill. Guess I'll have to take my daughter's Christmas gifts back because of my poor planning.

Lucky you. I subcontracted DISH through AT&T and we don't get this nifty offer.

Well after the 31st we will no longer be part of AT&T we will be regular Dish customers and maybe we can get it then.

Nope, at&t|Dish customers will still be bundled with at&t, it's just that new customers will only have DirecTV as an option.

That is not what I was told when I called a CSR yesterday about this, but that is fine too.

That as of the 31st we would become Dish Network customers and that we would start paying our bill with Dish and not with AT&T.
