Default Anyone get the DirecTV NFL package?

I've never purchased it. I usually just go to Buffalo Wild Wings and eat/drink there, but that ends up being more than the cost of the package.

Anyway, I made this thread because of an interesting thing I just read over on the Chicago Bears forum. Apparently, you can get crazy hookups from them by just calling and asking.

Many, many subscribers got the "Superfan" upgrade for free. A majority of them also got a $10 monthly credit for 6 months. Someone else got the Superfan package and a $10 monthly credit for a year.

Some very good deals to be had. If anyone really wants, I'll post a link, but it seems to revolve around just asking. If you haven't ordered yet, your play should be to ask for any promotions first. See what you can get. Maybe point to the fact that new customers are getting great deals while loyal customers like you are paying full price. Then go with this:

1) "Wait...What? I don't get the NFL package in HD? I already pay $10/month for HD and you want me to pay more? Seems ridic, imo." Then they hook up the HD super fan.

2) After that you show minor disappointment and claim you are still unsure if it's worth it when you can just hit the sports bar down the street. Then they usually credit you.

If this doesn't work (it will), cancel the order. If they don't bit on cancellation, wait an hour and call back. You'll get someone else who will take the bait.

I'm still debating if I'm going to get the package, cause the Bears are gonna be dogshit this year. If I do, I'll be playing my hand this way and I'll post a TR.
