Re: $10 charge to cancel the $5.99 protection plan?

said by smokes14:

You are only charged a downgrade IF you cancel within 30 days of adding.

Not anymore. There is a $5 fee for doing it at any time. They say it is a fee to update the account.

Surprised they wave the fee when you upgrade.

But they don't want people to add channels for a period of time and then dropping it. Like folk's did with HBO during The Sapranos and Sex in the City.

That is surprising. What you may be referring to is actually changing your package level. I have the HD/DVR Choice Plus pkg and I have been able to change movie channels without issues within the past month. Just added the Starz/Showtime 1/2 price, 3 month special without any issues and the CSR told me I would not be charged to cancel unless it was less than 30 days. No fee after the 3 months is over and I cancel. I have always been able to add/cancel movie channels without any fees involved. It is the 30 day period that matters.

This from the Directv website:

»directv.com/DTVAPP/globa ··· 94582414

"1If you downgrade your Premium programming options within 30 days of adding a new service to your account, you may be subject to a $10 fee."

DISH charges. Don't know about DTV.

Unless enough people complained and DISH stopped?
