I asked why moving customers got free Starz and Showtime for three months while non-moving customers did not. I now have free Starz and Showtime for three months.

mileage may vary

Isnt that a current special available to anyone? I know i got it just by going to the website and clicking on it.

The special was 2 for the price of 1 for three months.

Ah, I see the difference. Missed it on the initial read. My bad. Sorry.

Hello...I just went to DirecTV.com and did not see this deal.

All it said was Showtime for less than $7/month for 3 months...couldn't find anything about a Showtime/Starz deal.

Anyone know where I can find this deal?

Thank you in advance!

I can't find that deal either. The fine print in the Starz package says you can get a $25 Best Buy gift card if you sign up.

The DTV telemarketer who called the other day said the deal with Best Buy card was only available over the phone. The company is still doing a lousy job of communicating with us loyal customers via their website IMHO.:nono2:

When you asked, what exactly did the csr say?

 

[djbarci]

Hey all...anyone ever find that deal that the previous poster mentioned?

The Starz/Showtime deal...

 

[directvsocks]

When you asked, what exactly did the csr say?

There was a pause when the logic circuits kicked in followed by a sinking feeling and then he asked to put me on hold. He came back and said that he could give me starz and showtime free for three months.

The basic argument is why are you giving this away to a more expensive customer?

I also had a bill for $250 due this month which may not have hurt.

I just received an email from DIRECT and it said 2 for the price of one. You order HBO and Showtime and get 2 for the price of 1 for 3 months. I don't know if there is a penalty if you cancel at the end of 3 months though! Offer ends 10/31/08.

Here is a link to the offer:http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/globa...06&CMP=EMC-MQ-CS&ATT=120-92-PR-080924final&m=

I got that email, too. It's a pretty tempting offer. I doubt there is a cancellation penalty after three months, but of course they hope you'll like them so much that you won't cancel.

Or that you'll forget to cancel.

I don't think I would keep either premium channel. I've tried them all but I don't watch movies very much. I would like Showtime just for Dexter but still cant justify 1 or 2 premiums. With 200 channels and tons of ppv why would you want them? When they have free previews of these channels I rarely find anything I want to record.

If you watch that much PPV you should consider a Netflix account instead. Especially if you like shows like Dexter. Netflix works great for me.

That is what we got,the 2 for 1 deal for 3 months.

And you can watch the movies for more than 24 hours!
