1 get the game i get the game...

 

It's weeks like this that made me get sunday ticket. Chargers/Vikings?? No thanks!

 

I get the game. Old Chicago Pizza was fun last week but my couch is much better

 

After a 7 year absence I just did the same. Last week, they listed the Niners / Steelers in the local paper as being on regular tv but ended up putting reruns of Jeopardy on. Thank god I subscribed again. Would have been really mad waiting for the game to start and then Alex Trebeck comes on for a marathon. This week I would be stuck with the Rats V. Bungles.

 

I've said it before, I'd give up a kidney if that's what it took to get Sunday ticket.

Well worth the little bit of dough it costs.

 

I get the Raiders and Browns game

 

Yeah me too. I'm gonna be away this weekend anyway but.... seems my Verizon plan will get the game so I can catch bits of it on my phone . Any way to tell what's gonna be on rewind this week?

 

I get the Steelers game here in Richmond. Awesome!

 

I get the game here in phoenix, just because the rams are in the NFC west division, so i'll get all the games the steelers play in the west division this year, when they play the cards that should be one hell of a shootout....

 

How to get Sunday Ticket for free if you are still with DirecTV:


Call DirecTV customer service - 800-531-5000.

DO NOT go to a customer service rep, they are gatekeepers between you and retention and, while you will still get Sunday Ticket in the end, it will take a LOT of time and effort to get past them - go directly to retention who has the power and willingness to give up the house to keep you. You amass "retention credit" every year they will gladly spend on you to keep you. LOTS of "retention credit."

To do this, when the digital voice asks why you are calling, say cancel.

She will ask if you want to cancel your account, say yes. Don't worry, they won't let you.

She will ask if you are moving, say no.

Retention rep: I understand you want to close your account?

You: Yes please. My wife says we can't afford Sunday Ticket this season and that's really the main reason I went to DirecTV, cable has a great deal right now.

Retention rep: OK, well, let me pull up your account....

Retention rep: Oh, well it says here you qualify for free Sunday Ticket, would that be OK?

You: Yes, yes it would, thank you.



I do this every season and I have Sunday Ticket MAX. So far, 4 years running, it has never failed anyone who tried it that I'm aware of. If they try to just discount Sunday Ticket, just repeat you can't afford it. No fear, they will not let you cancel. (However, if you are in your first year, you may have to settle for a discount, or maybe if you took some other offer like free HBO recently, I don't know)

In the last two seasons when I called they have given me Sunday Ticket, Sunday Ticket MAX, all new Genie equipment, DirecTV GO box, their MLB package, and $25 off my bill for 6 months the last two years. You can also ask for movie channels.

I got the GO box by asking how I set my box to record when I'm away because I travel and miss games. I really didn't know and was just asking.

Retention rep: We have a GO box that lets you record to your Genie and stream recorded content anywhere. It's $99, a one time cost and no subscription fees, would you like it?

Me: I'd love it, but I can't afford it. Thanks.

Retention rep: Can you afford it at $49.99 spread over 6 months?

Me: Hm, thanks for the offer, but I can't.

Retention rep: Can you afford it at $49.99 if I credit your account another $15 for 6 months?

Me: Why yes, I could! Thanks!

Yes, they PAID ME to take DirecTV GO. True story. Be nice. Be sad. Then be thankful and do the survey and give them raving reviews.

My retention rep this season was Amanda. What a sweety! Prettiest voice and wanted nothing more than to talk football while we were waiting.

 

yes!!!!! I get the game!

 

I get...no games!

 

Do you have DirecTV?

 

I wonder how they decided to add that little Cleveland game wedge between Houston and Dallas, considering the rest of the surrounding area is getting the Steelers.

 

Nope, i'm in a dead zone in central Jersey.

 

Err... I'm gonna have to ask for a link. By the way, shocked that my Boston suburb is showing the Pats game. I think I would rather watch one of those town meetings on local access than watch the Patriots take the Jaguars out for a nice seafood dinner and never call them back.

 

I'll take "reasons bricks get thrown through televisions" for $1,000, Alex.
