First I've heard of anyone getting it free.

 

[snowden2876]

Ok. Doubt they give it to me free. That's why I am asking

Got an email today about free MLB EI !!

There is another MLB thread and a few others said they got the email (free MLB EI) too.

MLB package 2023

I tried via Twitter and was offered $10 off.

Also keep in mind they use to give away NFL ST for free to a lot of subs , so it's not completely un heard of lol

The difference here is that this is costing DIRECTV money (paying MLB for the subscriber) where free NFL ST was just a loss of income (assuming the customer would have paid if they didn't get it free).

I got the MLB Package for free (loyalty). I was thinking of switching to streaming service, wonder if I still get the MLB Package?

Nope.

I asked about it this morning and while the CSR couldn't help with MLB EI, she was kind enough to give me a $20/month credit for the next year.

With the exception of T-Mobile, not sure of any other company that gives customers (non employees) free sports packages , I even got half off NBA LP 2 years in a row

Dish. Comcast. Altice. Verizon Century Link. Spectrum. Etc etc etc

 

[dtv757]

They give customers (out of market ) sports packages free ??, I highly doubt that

 

[dtv757]

I won't say wich ones but I worked for multiple cable cos and they didn't give customers free sports packages . At most employees got half off

Of course they do lol my local company used to give out center ice all the time I can’t believe you actually think directv is the only one giving free seasonal sports packages lol

 

[dtv757]

just confirmed with a cox, spectrum and altice and fios employee not free for consumers or for them, and they all laughed why would they give those expensive packages free ..

You in the last hour personally spoke with employees in customer retention at 4 companies to confirm there broad policy’s. Meanwhile people here complain every day that not everyone gets the same deals from Directv customer service

Like I said i use to work at some of these horific cable cos . So keep in contact with folks etc ...

And my overall point is directv takes care of there customers more than the cable cos .

As with anything can't make everyone happy

Evidently not considering the way higher rate of customer losses

I can understand TMobile giving it to their wireless phone customers. Expanding that to home Internet subscribers is probably costing them a lot more than a phone only feed.

As long as the league gets paid they should be happy.
