Yeah, they will offer anybody 3 free months of the movie packages if you sign a new two year contract.
Maybe they figure that they have nothing to lose to offer you free three months of service to try to get you to stay or maybe they think that you will just leave anyways once the free three months are up.
I do not see Dish giving away anything without a new two year agreement each time.

It depends on how long you have been with them. Usually I see like a $10 or $20 credit for 10 months to get people to stay.
I got 3 months free of HBO and Starz for no committment and $10 off my bill for 10 months yesterday, plus they didn;t have my 211 as a primary receiver so I saved 7.00 on top of that. my 322 was being charged 5.00 extra a month and it was already plugged into a phone line. I spoke to account specialist. hey $10 is $10, especially since I told her I only watch ESPN-U in AT250. I've only been with Dish like 7 years now. The additional fees for recievers is really getting old why should we be punished for having multiple tv's
I think I have about 200 movies DVR'ed already, Starz sucks, should have went with Cinemax

Would it be cheaper to have the 211 as primary reciever, I currently have VIP722 as Primary, 211 as secondary and a DP301.
went to check online at my bill and they charged me $119 for NHL Center Ice half season when I already payed 3 monthly payments of $53 dollars from October to December!!! UNBELIEVABLE! Now I have to call them back! Plus they deactivated my 4900!!!
I have a 211 main room, 322 kids rooms and 4900 in my garage!

I just got MAX without CC for a penny for a year after taking the paperless billing when calling in to tell them to cancel my service that I was not renewing my annual subscription because they were trying to charge me $7 lease fee for the 722 and an additional outlet fee for the other two receivers I have. She said that it does not give the $7 credit when done annually and that she would give me the $7 credit for the remainder of the 24 months of the contract that I have. I told her that I was absolutely not going to pay $25 in extra fees for one receiver on the account that it was just too much. $10 HD, $6 DVR fee, $7 lease fee, thats a lot of dough for one box, told them no way, that they were going to have to do something. You have to draw the line somewhere on all those fees and I drawed the line.
Whats the difference. Did you not give them your s.s. number when you signed up for service?
I've had service for so long I never gave it out way back when. Cable gave me $300 and even took one of my 301's years ago and I had like 4 local cities (Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Denver and Los Angeles) and the superstations then dropped to the $5.00 dish limited package. I then bought a cheap 2700 reciever for like $50. Cable never took my dish down, just the reciever and card. Man I miss having all those local cities, got all the Skins and Eagles games every Sunday. Phillies and 76ers on UPN 57 and Capitals NHL and Wizards games on WB 50 Washington.
I did one of those $300 buy backs, back in the days of adelphia too. Actually the only reason I originally started with E* was because a cable csr refused to move and install me for free years back when I moved from a rented townhouse to a owned home, that wasn't wired at all.
Intertech, (Dish's huge retailer in the area) installed me free and get this...we only had a one years commitment. After my commitment Dish was up, they decided it was time to play raise rates game, and pay for this that was free and pay for that what was free. So I took cable up on their $25 off for 12 months, when you dumped the dish and no time commitment on my part. Cable was fine until my first hdtv showed up and that made me make the move back to E* for hd programing, that was nonexistent on cable.
You no longer need credit card autopay to get Cinemax for a penny for a year. You can now have checking account autopay with paperless billing to get the offer. I just got the offer yesterday. They said that they just changed the rules.
One catch to this. You have to credit qualify to use your debit card. Not everyone qualifies for this.
The same goes for becoming a new customer.
I'd much rather a company be automatically hitting my credit card than a debit card/checking account. A wrongful charge to the credit card, I got time to get it corrected before the billing cycle closes... and even after that time before the payment due date to get a refund issued. A wrongful charge to debit card/checking account, that money is zapped in an instant... hope you didn't have a big check floating out there that's gonna bounce now...
You do not need a debit card either. Checking account autopay with just the checking account number and routing number along with paperless blling.
