I was one of those who complained to D* about needing Superfan to get ST games in HD. (6 or 7 years with D* and ST.)

The CSR I spoke to told me she would give me a $10 programming credit per month for 12 months. OK! I felt that this was a good deal and signed up for Superfan at -$20. I even joked with the CSR about the -$20, so there was no confusion about the amount

When I called back after my first bill did not reflect a credit, the CSR said that she saw the record of my call, that all was well and that the $10 credit would start to show during the next billing cycle.

My current bill shows a $5 credit. The CSR today apologized profusely, but said that is all it was going to be. Whatever the first and second CSR's told me was meaningless and unverifiable.

Now it is a "he said-she said" over $60....not such a big deal except for the deception that lead me to sign up for Superfan under false pretenses.

Sure i would have agreed to the $5 if that was all I could have gotten. I would have even paid full price if that was required. But to be told one thing and then be called a liar (The CSR used the term "misunderstanding") is just terribly frustrating. Should I ask to record future calls to verify what is said? Would it even matter?

For $60, I went from a D* fan to a disgruntled customer....not the best way to run a business.

Thanks for listening!

FWIW:

Whenever a CSR promises you a credit, check your account online immediately, preferably while your still on the phone with them. The credit they issue will show up on your account right away. This takes the guess work out of having to wait for your next bill and wondering if the credit will be right.

In this case I know this advice comes a little late, but hopefully this will benefit others.:)

Having the same problems. I got free Superfan, they charged me $33 last month and I called and they credited my acct. Got another $33 charge this month. Also, retention gave me $10 off my bill for 6 months for not cancelling ST. There is no credit on my acct. this month. I sent them 2 emails and havent gotten a repsonse yet. Im going to wait until WED and if no response I will call them up. Im so pissed about this nonsense.

Similair issue here. I had cancelled ST all together and then signed up again when they called back and offered me ST and SF for $189 to be reflected on my bill as a 53.80 charge and $20 credit for 4 months. In August, I got the credit (actually labled Second Chance 4 mo. Credit), but no credit this month. In theory, they have the right to "skip" one month ($53.80 for 5 months, $20 credit for 4 months = 189), but I am not optimistic that the credit will show up next month. I"ve emailed them
