Cinemax for 1 cent for another year?

[theoak]

In December 2008 I saw the 1 cent addition to my bill for Cinemax.

In January 2009, when I look on my bill there is a "Here's the Dish" section.

I have a section that states:

Thank you for using credit card AutoPay with Paperless Billing for
your DISH Network account. As a token of our appreciation, we
have extended your Cinemax premium movie channels for just a
$.01 for one additional year. Thank you for managing your
account online!

Is this Dish just being slow and telling me AFTER the fact that they charged me ... ?

Or has the offer been extended for a year? It was my understanding that this was a 2 year offer. I signed up in Jan 2008, so I figured it would expire Jan 2010. Does this mean it will now go till 2011?

It's one year and then it auto-renews for a penny for another year....basically making it two years total.

I would expect being charged for cinemax when your two years are up. (unless dish explicity states they'll be continuing the promo)

No. It will expire Jan 2010.

No. It will expire Jan 2010.

This is my thought process too.

With that being said I did send in an email to Dish with my questions ... we'll see what they say.

I was just wondering if folks here "in the know" ... err ... knew
