12 free pay-per-view showings

[jediphish]

I got a letter from D* today thanking me for participating in the priority registration for the HR20 and activating one (I've actually activated two). To show their appreciation, they included 12 PPV coupons, 2 each for the next six months, valued at up to $3.99 each. Been a while since they've sent me something like this. I don't watch many PPV movies since the HD offerings are so limited, but will check whatever's showing now, since they're free.

Anyone else get a Thank You like this?

I got an e-mail today saying select a gift. I could pick $5 of per month for 12 months -$60 value, 24 PPV - $95 value, or 6 free months of Showtime - $72 value. I picked the $5 off, but I think the fine print bought me a new 2 year commitment. As long as Directv has ST and March Madness, I am not going anywhere, so it doesn't matter. The e-mail said it was because I was such a good customer - subscriber since 1995. I have an R15, no HR20.

Priority Registration?
Can you elaborate, jediphish?

It was just the way to sign up for the HR20 back when they were on backorder. You had to wait until D* called you back to say they were available so they could set up an installation date.

I got something similar last fall when they had to reschedule my installation because of the lack of an available HR20. They only included 1 PPV coupon in the letter they sent me apologizng for the inconvience. Since I pay my bill online I wasn't sure how I would get credit for the coupon so I never used it.

You can always still mail in the coupon if you've purchased a PPV showing that month and they will give you credit, even if you have autopay with credit card enabled.

So the PPV movie will actually cost you $.39, or half that if you purchase two and mail both coupons together.
