So I'm in the middle of some work yesterday, and I get a call from Directv. Nice lady says she has a very special offer for me, because I have been such a good customer for so long, yada,yada.
She proceeds to tell me I can get all four premium movie services and all their channels for $11/mth for as long as I keep them. Now in all fairness, my attention was elsewhere and she may have said the four Showtime channels, but I don't think so. However, I know for a fact I then said "Are you telling me I can get HBO, Cinemax, and all the other premium movie channels for $11/mth?", and she most definitely said "Yes", and it is on tape somewhere.
Still being pretty skeptical, I probably asked her what the catch was at three more times. :lol: Finally, I figured WTH it is only $11 to see if they are really that generous.
Forgot all about it last night, and when I just checked......you guessed it, it was only the Showtime package. I was going to call and give them hell for deceiving me, and tell them to refund the $11. However, I just decided to let the $11 be my penance for being stupid enough to even begin to think there was any chance that offer was true. :lol: I'll just kill it in 30 days.
One other thing that I thought of was how special this offer was. I have the Sport's Pack, so this second premium would have only cost about $11 if I had just ordered it myself.:lol:
