Time for my annual check-in re: NFL ST.
I called them up today and mentioned that I will already be getting 6 of the 16 games free because I'm in a secondary market and my favorite team was my home team, but I like the NFL ST because they sometimes give me better games than I would otherwise get.
While the rep & I were going back and forth, she did mention that I got the regular NFL ST free last year (during the Viacom dispute) so I know I lost some negotiation power there, but she offered half off for NFL ST Max for $147.96, then offered a one time bill credit of -$50, dropping it down to $97.96. She then said they could credit me -$60 ($10 x 6 months) for the DVR service, so that brought it down to essentially $38.99 for the NFL ST Max. I figured that would work for me, so I took it and was happy. I know others here got better deals, but I wanted people to know how my call worked out.
I also forgot to mention that I'm on auto pay and have been a customer for several years.
Better than that ?
I barely got anything and I have NEVER had a late bill, been with them since '05 and don't ask for much.
