Hello,
I just got off the phone with a CSR and I have a couple of questions. I want the vip622 and the HDbronze package, with locals (no HD locals in my area). Here is what he quoted:
up front:
200 upgrade fee
49.98 activation fee
-100 HD rebate (over 10 months)
-100 new subscriber rebate (over 10 months)
monthly:
49.95 HDbronze
5.00 Locals
5.98 DVR fee
This was all as I expected. However, I have a "gift certificate" for club dish that says:
-----
THIS SPECIAL GIFT CERTIFICATE ENTITLES YOUR FRIEND TO DISH NETWORK SATELLITE TV FOR THE WHOLE HOUSE (UP TO 4 ROOMS) WITH DIGITAL HOME ADVANTAGE INCLUDING:
* FREE Activation (a $49.99 value)
* $100 back with America's Top 120 or higher programming
* STARZ Movie Pack FREE for the first 3 months
----
The CSR says that because of the ClubDish certificate, I would not have to pay activation. However, he said that the $100 back was *not* in addition to the two rebates I mentioned above. In other threads on this forums, someone said that ClubDish was worth both the activation fee *and* $50 credit to your account. The CSR made it sound like I got the activation fee, but no credit, only the standard rebates mentioned in the line items above. Can anyone verify if he is right?
Also, I asked if they would throw in an antenna, since I can't get HD locals and he said "no". Has anyone convinced them to throw in an antenna with the deal as well?
Cheers,
Ed.
