No cord cutting for another year.......

[schddog72]

Been with Directv since 1994, we all experience yearly rates going up and every year I have to call and negotiate. Well this time I told them to cancel my account mid March, well I get a letter from them a few days ago. In the letter they ask me not to cancel and they explain a new offer and call (number on the letter). I did and it went straight to an American speaking lady, no wait time! Make a long story short, my bill will be under $60, same plan I have in existence and many fees were waived plus I get all the movie channels free for 3 months.
I was fixing to go to YTTV but I got a much better deal with more channels. No doubt Directv has been taking a hit, but now my bill is the cheapest it's been in many years.
Btw, they also are sending me a $200 Visa gift card.

Kind of funny; I'd been with DT since mid-90's. When I finally had enough of the pricing spiral, I just called to cancel and the guy said "Sure, no problem." It sure got easy to cut the cord based on that conversation. Now got YTTV, Sling TV with access to NetFlix and Amazon Prime TV - if you can't find something to watch from that line-up, you might as well turn it off. And paying quite a bit less than DT. Good riddance.

I guess I got lucky. I was down to the last few days with Directv, but like I said, I got more for less.

If you don't mind me asking, what's the number? My bill has been over $160 for many months now. Which is ridiculous.

If you guys are put on hold and some Western Country Man or Woman tries to talk to you just tell them you want to cancel, they will direct you to the Loyalty Department. In the past years I could get a decent deal, but this time not until I said to cancel at the last billing date.

Good luck to all.
