I have been with them for 15+ years. I just called and asked for the billing department. I spoke to a guy in India that didn't offer me any discount.

I guess I should ask for the "Loyalty Dept". I may call back.

I just called back and spoke to the loyalty dept. She gave me $60 off per month for 12 months. That is $720 savings. NO CONTRACT!!!!!!!!!!!!

JUST Got off the phone with direct tv and the guy had no idea what the loyalty dept was. I’ll give them a call again tomorrow.

I’m gonna have to try that this weekend!

Just saved $50 a month.Its legit

I usually call in to get the HBO deal where it's like $9 instead of $15 for 6 or 9 months. Last time I called, they did not reoffer the deal so I said cancel it (GOT season was already over). Then I saw some offer where you get HBO for free if you have AT&T wireless. I contacted them on Twitter due to login problems and one of their Twitter CS guys called me. Solved the login issue and then he tried to look up the Free HBO deal. said he couldn't find it so he just gave me $25 credit each month for 12 months and gave me HBO. Said I just had to keep HBO for 1 month and then I could cancel it and keep the $25 discount for the year, no contract. Later I found out the free HBO is only if you combine the bills and I think do autopay or something like that. I might have to call and see if I can get the same $50 off that you guys are getting.

When you are talking to the computer, just keep saying "Operator, operator, ..." Once the guy from India comes on, say you want to talk to the Loyalty department. You are a long time customer and you want to see what they can do because your bill is too high. It will be connected back to the US and if you meet the requirements you will get a discount.

I just called in and got $50 off a month for 12 months on both of my DTV accounts and also got free HBO for 6 months on my primary account. When you hit the menu prompt and it asks you what you want to do, say Cancel. Then it will ask if you are canceling because you are moving, say no and that should get you to the Loyalty department (it used to be called Retention). My rep called the $50/month discount a loyalty discount program that they were running.

My wife did this a week or so ago. Our bill went from 85$ a month to 8$. Works for me.

5 minutes with Customer Loyalty. Bill went from $147 a month to $85 a month for 12 months. Thanks tlk!

Now I know why they are giving the discount. January 21 the prices are going up. I just got an email from them.

they are still giving discounts fyi

Got the email also gonna give them a call and get a discount or I am going to cancel.

Thanks tlk - your post just saved us over $800!

Agree...best post of the year!

Just got off the phone with a Loyalty Rep. Was able to back my plan down a notch and keep the same channels and get the $60 Discount per month for 12 months.

Thanks, Guys!!!

Merry Christmas! lol

Saved 40 a year for 12 months and got 50 saved a year for my dads account for 12 months.

Just got 60 dollars a month taken off for 12 months

Im reducing mine from $160 on DTV to $50 on Slingtv. Easier and cheaper. Cutting the cord and going the streaming route.
