I asked that question last week of the Loyalty Dept. She said it's an algorithm, but she didn't know how it worked. I was a Preferred Customer for years, but don't qualify for it this year.
Preferred customers are people who don't call them all the time to negotiate a better deal. 
Yeah, those of us that do that are known as "Dish Deadbeats"Preferred customers are people who don't call them all the time to negotiate a better deal.
In order to be VIP, you must subscribe to the most expensive package, never call and complain, and the last you must introduce your family friends and friends to Dish.
I stopped doing that a couple of years ago. Now, I just downgrade my programming package every time there is a price increase.Preferred customers are people who don't call them all the time to negotiate a better deal.
To provide a more serious answer to the original question though, a Dish Preferred Customer is an existing customer who agrees to a two-year contract, in exchange for some discount off their core programming package (discounts vary based on package level) and a price lock for the entire term of the contract. Offers vary, but may also include discounts on the equipment fees, and a $5 discount for signing up for AutoPay.
Nah, in order to be VIP, you must stubbornly hold onto your ViP receivers until Dish pries them from your cold, dead hands! I still use a ViP222k and a ViP211k.In order to be VIP, you must subscribe to the most expensive package, never call and complain, and the last you must introduce your family friends and friends to Dish.
That last part of the sentence is called Refer a Friend!In order to be VIP, you must subscribe to the most expensive package, never call and complain, and the last you must introduce your family friends and friends to Dish.
Ahh makes sense.. I did call to get the new 2 year deal for the family. My price didn't go up any. I basically just kept the same deal I got 2 years ago.. I will save some money after Jan 14th since I do own all of my dish equipment.
If you signed a new deal for a 2 year price lock, how will you get the new reduced rates in January? Does the price lock just just protect against increases?
I know, but he just signed a new 2 year price lock. Why would they reduce his fees? I've been on the 2 year Preferred Customer contract for the past several years. The package price and the fees were both locked. I'm just asking how he knows he'll get the reduced fee in January.
Nobody knows. This is one of the many issues with Dish's announcement that we need more clarification on. That was the type of thing that DIRT was so good about doing, and just one reason why they are so sorely missed.
