Not to mention convenience. With Directv Sunday ticket. It's on any TV in the house (that's connected) at the same time. It's on our big flat screen in HD that can be viewed by a whole room, not on a

Its completely infuriating that its almost 2022 and still the only way to get all the football I want from a paid service is to sign up for a satellite TV package from the Satan incarnate of media com

I have had Direct TV for 15 years. Earlier this year I called and asked for a deep discount that included NFL ticket or I was cutting cable and going to Hulu, etc and they told me "Thanks for being a Direct TV customer all these years, we'l send you the termination paperwork." They made no effort to keep me, so I cut the cord. Too many streaming platforms available now to pay that much. 

 

Nice to see another Colorado Springs fan!  The exact same thing happened to me a couple of years age.  I sent their crap back and streamed ever since.

I had been a customer for over 20 years with Sunday ticket every year.  I sometimes believe this hit and miss discount stuff in Zip Code related.

Checked my e-mail after reading this and what a nice surprise.  Usually I have to cry over the phone for a break which I have always gotten something.  This year an early Christmas gift.  I was told by a repairman two weeks ago that one third of DT was sold and they are real concerned  about customer service and were working on it.  What a great way top work on it.

These stories popping up remind me a bit of fantasies from Penthouse Forum. (I knew a guy who used to tell me about them.) This seems about as likely, from my experience, but it sure sounds great! 

 

Being gifted a free year of Sunday Ticket without even asking does not sound like something that would ever happen in reality.

We went through this same thing last year.  It was free Sunday Ticket Max but you still had to pay for Sunday Ticket.

I didn't believe it until I saw it, because every year I have to call and threaten to cancel, but this year they are just handing it out for free like candy on Halloween! (I imagine it has everything to do with how much the package you subscribe to is, and what discounts are active or not on your monthly bill. This is the e-mail I got today.

Here's the fine print on the email:

 

*Select int’I games excluded. **Only available in HD. Out‑of‑market games only. Blackout rules and other restrictions apply. Package consists of all live out‑of‑market NFL games (based on customer's service address) broadcast on FOX and CBS; however, games broadcast by your local FOX or CBS affiliate will not be available in NFL SUNDAY TICKET. Games available via remote viewing based on device location. Other conditions apply. NFL SUNDAY TICKET subscription will not automatically renew. Only one game may be accessed remotely at any given time. Compatible device/operating system required for online/ mobile access. Additional data charges may apply.

This is not accurate.

I received everything for free last year without asking and it appears as if the same thing is going on this year with multiple customers.

I received an email from DIRECTV saying I got 2021 NFL SUNDAY TICKET MAX free and it's true. I hope all the longtimers get the same thing.

Got same email a couple of days ago. Called Directv and its true. I got it for FREE too.

Sounds like when I called art to get a deal on iPhones theynbasicallmsaidmhere is a deal costs more and you get to pay for phones.  T mobile offered me two free iPhone 12 and cheaper plan to come on board

thanks. I think I’ll move forward with this. My last question:

 

although it is a single sign on an one username, any idea if it can be signed into multiple accounts at the same time? For example, could I stream on my account via fire stick downstairs while also streaming on my iPad upstairs simultaneously?

 

I know some companies (Netflix, for example) allow a maximum number of users at a single time. Just trying to confirm if the ST maximum is 1 haha 

 

No. I tried last year being on my ipad and Windows laptop. Didn't work.

lol. so based on the responses in this thread you ended up being completely wrong.

 

normally i wouldn't bother following up on this nonsense, but you were awfully cocky -- especially since you were clearly wrong.

 

enjoy paying full price in your reality, my man. 👍

If you’re paying attention, you’ll notice that I posted that only after several people announced they had been given the free season. I’m NOT saying they are lying, as I’m sure they are reporting what actually happened to them. I’m wrong often, but not here as I was just kidding based upon how absurd  this sounds from my experience. It’s an annual game of cat and mouse I prefer not to play. I have never before heard of DTV giving away something that was not even asked for.

 

I did make a rare run at trying to get a discount last year, only to be shot down. I hate DTV and only have them for Sunday Ticket. Maybe 1-2 times a year my cable goes out and I’m glad to have a backup. 

 

It’s just not worth it to me to call and beg every year for a discount. You’re welcome. 

 

EDIT: We live well within our means. We are very frugal by most people’s standards. The DTV ST battle is one I’m just not willing to take on at this time. We all have our hot buttons.

great Success! 10 minute call. Free ST Max/Red Zone. been a consistent customer for 7 years so wasn't sure but have about a 66% success rate over the years. 

 

Spoke with a woman who said I need to speak with Billing as they are handling ST. I said, No, I need Loyalty/retention! She said, "I am loyalty and retention dum dum". I sheepishly apologized and was transferred. The next Rep looked at account and said we can add ST Max for free. 

 

Thanks again to all the trailblazers that came before.

I called the standard contact number on my bill and voice prompted for "cancel my service". I wasn't threatening to cancel I just knew it would bring me to retentions and then I just asked the guy if I had the ticket offer for free.

Did someone already explain this? What's the difference between Sunday Ticket and Sunday Ticket Max?  I haven't received any email from DirecTV but I've only been a customer (with the Ticket) since 2015.

I have never called nor threatened to leave.  They literally just gave it to me.  Second year in a row.  Last year it was sans Redzone.  This year is with Redzone.  I have been a DTV customer since 1991 so maybe it's a loyalty thing.  Maybe the guy who runs DTV is a JA17/Buffalo Bills fan...  Anyway, I'm stoked because I was ready to pay for it.  Hell if I would pay for it during the Whaley/Nix years, I sure as heck was going to pay for it during the McBeane years.

Thanks to all posting in this thread. It’s always about timing as there seems to be a window when they give out the offers. I usually call and go through a song and dance. This year I DM’d ATT support and just asked straight up if they could comp me ST Max. Got a message back saying they would look into it. Then a rep called me back within an hour and gave it to me for free. Easiest route in 9 years I’ve been doing this. 
Cheers!

Just an fyi since I only noticed yesterday, in regards to Bills preseason games on NFLN.....I didn't think I'd be able to watch since I have Hulu, however Hulu now has NFLN and actually a few other channels that were not available before.

 

Anyways, in case others also have Hulu and aren't aware I just thought I'd bring it to your attention.

Made the call.  Nothing available.  Told me to call back after tomorrow as it’s the end of my biking cycle and deals drop with the billing cycle before the season.

 

She stated there are 3 levels of deals, and everyone gets one.  1.  Something like 16 bucks off each payment for regular Sunday ticket.  2.  16 bucks off each payment for ST Max and 3. Free.

Very helpful. My gut has been telling me to call around tomorrow— mid-August is always the time I usually call.

Ppl are fed up with DTV and they are losing customers. Always has been new customers get ST, HBO free, and 6 month discount. The existing customers that have been with them for years don't get anything. Only way you could get anything was to call and threaten to cancel.

 

Now I hear from many that customer service reps treat ppl like crap and nasty.

I've been a DTV customer for 20+ years and have received ST totally free the last two years without doing anything.

I wonder if you're basing your assumption on the squeaky wheels instead of the full set of tires?

I'm basing it off of the 10 years I had DTV if you want to call that "squeaky wheels". Also if you have gotten ST last 2 years free, you sir are one of the lucky ones. Because it is rare since AT&T took over. I canceled in 2018
