2013 NFL Sunday Ticket + Alternatives

I know we had this thread last year, but things change every year so I thought I'd post this.

I've been with DirecTV for about 6 years now for the Ticket, but I can't afford it anymore. So I thought I'd see what things we learn as we negotiate, work around the Ticket, and find ways to watch our Chiefs games out of market as affordable as possible.

I know there's a promotion with Madden 25. What else is there this year?

If you want a true better deal but to stay with them, cancel, uninstall equipment, send their old crap back, and then have someone else in your household sign up as a new customer.

It is infuriating, but they definitely give better rates to new than long term clients. Terrible business.
Wow that is horseshit. 7 years old and they would not do anything to upgrade your equipment at all?

I go to Buff Wild Wings. Good looking chicks and all the games plus food and beer. Better than home watching the ticket.

Ok, I just called DTv back and went straight to cancellation dept. I started asking questions about my contract date and if I had to pay termination fees. Then they asked why, I calmly told them how my last call went and how they just didnt care and I was looking at ALL my options. Very soon after, I was offered a $100 VISA card to apply to my NFLT. Now Im paying $60 for NFLT.

I talked to a lady about my contract date and she said that they could offer me a cheaper price on my package and half off ST. I'm waiting until next month (when my contract is up) to call back.

That's weird. I had been nursing along an old R10 DirecTivo unit for years. It was finally too far gone last summer so I called to see what they could do to upgrade us into some HD equipment.

We ended up getting a Genie DVR, ST for free, $15/month off the bill for a year to offset the $49 they had to charge for the Genie, free Showtime for 3 months and some oddball credits that I don't fully remember right now. It was a pretty nice deal.

I guess they ran out of ****s to give over the last year.

Just know half off is $160, which is still too much. keep pressing for better, just be really really coll with them when doing it.

That still too much to pay. Theres still more room for discounts on their part.
