Directv Referral Program Question and Changing Packages Online (Rebates?)

[Bluemonick]

Hi,

I have a question regarding Directv's Referral Offer. I have some friends that might join/create new Directv service, but Im not sure exactly when it will be? Is there some type of notfiication in your Directv online account via "Recent Activity"/"Email"/etc.? Is there a place online to see everyone you have referred to date? I am unsure on this as my month's bill has been already generated but I don't know where to check referral status.

Also, I have seen in most posts different answers regarding changing base programming packages online. I am assuming you can change online the big four ADVERTISED packages of Choice, Choice Xtra, Choice Ultimate, Premier. For example, as far as I know you an change from Choice Xtra to Choice completely online, is this correct?

I am assuming Family/Select package require a phone call. In this situation, does D* charge an downgrade/phone assist fee?

Ok, Rebates question. Really hard finding out what the "qualifying programming required" is to continue to recieve rebates ( Im assuming choice and above?) Right now D* new customer offer is the normal $31 off for first year including email signup + $16 off the second year of rebates. So is it safe to assume if I change to an Select/SelectChoice/Family Package on month 10 for example, I LOSE ALL MY $16 second year rebates?

Thanks for answer to these quesitons as I searched forum (google +satelliteguys.us search string), and have yet to find these answers!

Much Appreciated,

if you have e-mail on file with D* you get an e-mail. Per an e-mail I have it is labelled "Your DIRECTV $100 Referral Credit" and has a simple email of "your friend, ___________________, just activated their DIrectv service. You will receive $100 in credits which will start on your next bill"

yep

no fee but if you change packages you have to keep it for 30 days

yes. You need Choice at minimum to keep the rebate

Is this it: http://i53.tinypic.com/14vitsz.jpg ??

I ask because I was referred by another user within the last month. I don't know if this email is FOR ME REFERRING ANOTHER USER, or just saying "thanking me for being referred by someone else"?? Basically, do they send a email to confirm your "signup" referral offer (already recieved this month's bill) or is this a referee signup confirmation WITHOUT the "your friend, ________" blah blah??

Thanks for reply.

Hate to reply, but does anyone know?


Thanks for answer?

 

[Mr Tony]

yep that is the referral e-mail

yep that is the referral e-mail

Just to be clear: it means that I referred someone else (or I recieve normal signup offer of being referred by someone else)?? Sorry to be complicated but want to be sure.

 

[Mr Tony]

that means you referred someone and they activated their account
