Actually we were talking about Retirees discounts ...
Oh OK. I didn't know you were retired from AT&T. I thought you meant you were retired (from anywhere) and DIRECTV gave you a discount for being retired (from anywhere).
I had no problem combining our car and our motorhome XM accounts into a single billing. My neighbor tried to combine his two cars, but they told him that since one was Sirius and the other XM, they couldn't do it.
You asked about anyone getting a retiree duscount. AT&T owns DirecTV so as a retiree of AT&T you get a retiree discount. He mentioned working for AT&T in the post right in front of yours.
Basically, they said they tried doing mine, actually said that they Did combine them, but I still end up with 2 bills due about 3 weeks apart.
As I said in a previous post…I did not know he was retired from AT&T. I thought he was talking about getting a discount from DIRECTV for just being retired (from anywhere) and I had never heard of DIRECTV giving a discount for being retired…sort of like a senior discount. So yes, I now understand it was an AT&T retiree discount because he retired from AT&T.
Nothing like a Senior discount though.
A huge number of us are wishing we were retired. 😀
Jimbo, when AT&T no longer has any stake in DirecTV, I think you will have a valid concern for your Retiree Discount. But as a long time customer, you probably can get a loyalty discount each year. I look forward to my DirecTV account being divorced from AT&T.
First I need to hit powerball. 😀
I thought that they were no longer using the 129 W location and the Western arc locations were now 110W and 119W. Do I have that wrong?
I think many men a certain age wish it was called Disherect. Even take little blue pills for it.
I worked 43.5 years before I quit at the end of 2021 at 59 and a half years. Age 16 to 59.5. Just collected my first social security check this month at age 62. So two pension checks of mine + one pension check of my wife and my social security. Two more years she will collect her social security. We own our house and car and no debt.
AT&T sounds like working for scamazon they make your life a living hell so they can fire you and find a newbie with less exp that will work for a lower wage!!!
Yeah that is right. 77 was used for Mexico and 129 was a Canadian Satellite they leased space on for spot beam locals. Neither is needed now that every thing on both arcs is now mpeg 4.
