First off, i went to craigslist and looked for empty apartment listings. I used that address with my name and i was accepted because it's an apartment. Then it just let me sign up using a completely different account. I used my mom's cellphone as mines already in their database! lol
Bam, sundayticket on my ps4. i had to pay 250 for it, but it beats not having to have direct tv service! Anyways, im ready for sunday now.

I now know that was unnecessary.
All possible because At and T now owns Direct TV. they were so fucking stubborn, but ATT said fuck it, this will just net us more cash. All good now like i said. just use an empty apartment you find on craigslist use that address and it will accept it so you are clear to get Sunday ticket without having direct TV.> This is great for me. Ill probably never get direct tv every again because it was me just throwing money away. [Reply]
Worth a phone call for sure. I called in this morning to see what they could do for me, keep in mind I've only been a customer since 2012. I simlpy explained to them now that the NFL is back I've seen a huge jump in my bill. Told them I'm having a hard time affording my bill and was considering moving to dish as my bill would be cheaper even with the ETF. The only reason I was with them was Sunday Ticket. The rep on the phone said he would see what he could do. Five minutes later he came back and offered $10 off my bill for 12 months plus free Sunday Ticket for the season. I accepted and they even credited my bill $252. [Reply]
I called and spoke to three different reps and the best they could do was give me the Sunday Ticket Max for $167.00 dollars. I've been a customer since 2003, so this sucks.
Last year, not only did I get Sunday Ticket for free, they also gave me a $200 Visa gift card.
In a couple of years, when my kids are older, I'm dumping DTV and heading down to sports bars in Hollywood to watch the games. Fuck them. [Reply]

In some cases, that's the cause to your effect. They note big discounts and have a formula that lets them know how much they can give you each time you call. If you've been paying a shit ton of money, your discounts will be bigger, while if you've gotten a lot of recent discounts, they might not offer you as much.
It's certainly not a direct relationship, but I've seen reps on reddit describe that as being at least part of the formula. [Reply]
well last year they gave you $200 and free ticket ... I realize some people seem to have the magic touch every year but did you expect another $200 Visa card? Maybe $300 this year? [Reply]
I have parlayed that connection into free HBO, Showtime, WWE Network, Netflix, ESPN (and all ESPN networks) while paying $25/month for MLB.TV and $25/month for Sunday Ticket.
I have access to more god damn cable / premium TV than I did when I had cable.
The only thing I can't do is watch Cubs, Sox, Cardinals, Bulls, Blackhawks and Bears games (local cable sports). As a KC fan, that's ok ... but I do miss watching Bulls/Cubs [Reply]

I figured as much, especially since I only paid $100 dollars for the MLB package this year.
But still, it's such a PITA to call them and sit on the phone every six months in order to get discounts. My bill jumped from $172 to $212 today and it took three reps to get it back to $172. I just don't understand why they don't just take care of their customers, especially people like me that have been with them for more than a decade, by automatically applying whatever discounts their offering.
The savings are definitely worth the 90 minutes I spent on the phone but it's pretty lame that it's required to go through those motions at least twice a year. [Reply]
