Mc1320 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Direct TV/AT&T is bleeding subscribers like crazy - this is a last ditch effort to get back/keep subscribers before they lose exclusive rights to Sunday Ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nervous Guy Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 they do that from time to time...I got one two years ago. I did a quick search and saw that some people got it last year.

cdl 716 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Received the same email yesterday. Been with DirecTV for about twenty years now...not sure what the catch is other than maintaining a minimum package of at least $29.99. Had ST Max free last year too but it was a struggle to get it...several calls and couple of scheduled cancellations before they finally offered it.

Im afraid that makes you less likely to get it, if not everyone gets it. After all, they wouldn't give it to someone who would otherwise be paying for it. They probably want people to realize how nice it is, and then buy it next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 So I didn't get the email either but my mom did so I had her forward it to me. I just got off the phone with AT&T -- a very nice customer service rep in Arizona spent the better part of 30 minutes "looking" for information about this promotion and couldn't find anything. She understood my dissatisfaction with the situation and gave me $300 in bill credits -- not quite enough to cover the cost of ST Max but better than "sorry, I can't find that promotion." It would appear to be a random promo...will be interesting if I get the email later and still have those credits... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemhoff Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I am so happy that I finally dropped DTV, I couldn't stand making any kind of phone call into their customer service.

LABILLBACKER Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Highly doubt anyone's getting free Sunday ticket this fall (assuming there's a season). The only email I got from them yesterday was to watch the draft. Besides a year from now DTV will probably be done unless Dish swoops in to save them. AT&T wants no part of them with the loses and people streaming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it says, “watch the NFL draft.” reminds me of this famous scene in “Christmas story,” where Ralphie waits for his decoder ring to decode a secret message, only to find out the secret message was a commercial for ovalteen.
