Minneapolis, MN | said by Anonymous:Both Dish Network and DirecTV only offer promo deals to new subscribers. Once they get your SS# in their database no more deals for you. Cable companies will gladly offer promo deals to returning customers as long as they don't owe money. Yep, sadly that is the case. I canceled DirecTV 3 months ago after being a suscriber for 8 years. The value was just not there. I even contemplated upgrading to the HD offering but I was going to end up paying even more and if I wanted to have the HD DVR, I would've had to pay for it. Apparently 8 years of customer loyalty has little weight with them. Meanwhile they are offering the equipment free to new customers and the programing I was contemplating for $30+ less per month.
I told them point black, "if you want to retain me as a customer, give me the same deal that you're giving your new customers for the equipment, I'll even sign the 2 yr. contract". They wouldn't, so I canceled. Funny thing is, I don't miss them at all as I watched just a few programs to begin with. And now I do more physical activities outdoors. |
