Well not great but not bad. I actually come out ahead with the discount they offered. They would NOT give me Sunday Ticket half off, said they don't even have that discount (bullshit since I had it last year). So she offered $25 off our bill for the next two years, which doing the easy math, actually puts us ahead of if they had offered us Sunday Ticket half off. So much LOL. Thanks for the shitty math DTV! [Reply]
I paid $100 last season for Sunday Ticket, thanks to the college discount, and I plan on doing it again this time around.
Basically, the discount is intended for those students trapped in a college dorm and unable to access DirecTV, so they are given a major discount to watch NFL games online. All that you need to sign up is a college email address. I do online classes, so I've used my UMUC college email to register last season (plus, it's a better reason to stay in college for my Masters, rather than the whole "education" thing).
I know a lot want to go for that freebie with customer service, but I elect to take the discount as the price is more manageable at $100. Fuck paying whatever godforsaken amount they want for what is essentially 13-14 Chiefs games.
EDIT: No, I don't know where to get a spare college email address. If you're in a similar situation as me though, it might be worth your time and half the money you usually fork over. [Reply]

Such Idiots. Regular Sunday Ticket costs $45x6 =$270. Half off would have been $135. They couldn't do that.
So instead they give me $25 off for 2 years, which means I am paying $120 for Sunday Ticket (still cheaper than half off) and my bill outside of NFL season will drop from $95 to $70.

How's your math? I still get $25 off my bill for next season too, so I can pay full price for Sunday Ticket again and still be coming out ahead over them just giving me half off this season. Not to mention the discount I am getting in the 6 months without Sunday Ticket.

I am not sure but either way that's fine for me. Cheaper all the way around then what I am paying now or paid last year with Sunday Ticket half off. [Reply]
I just called because it was exactly a year ago I did this and all my credits just fell off my account. They gave me $50 off a month for premier package for one year and I had to re-up on another 1 year contract. I mentioned Sunday Ticket but he said no promos on that yet. He told me to check middle of August and it looked like I'd qualify for at least a discount but probably not free.
