Got denied by a foreigner the first time. Trying take two. He said that they aren’t offering a customer loyalty discount at this time.

Was that the loyalty department? I dialed 1-800-DIRECTV, said "Yes" when they asked if I was a current customer. When it asked why I was calling, I said, "customer loyalty department". The automated system then asked me was it to change my current service or cancel. I said, "Cancel". It asked if it was because of a move, and I said, "No". I was immediately transferred to the loyalty department, and the guy I spoke to was clearly American.

ETA - it isn't called a loyalty discount. I just said I heard they were offering a promotion, and I would like to see if we could lower my bill. Sam called it something like a "buy-in promotion", but I didn't have to buy anything.

Call 3 went a little better for me I think. Was told every account was different, blah blah blah. Ultimately I upgraded my package from Xtra to Ultimate but at a promotional rate of around $53 cheaper for 12 months. I already have HBO and Starz, she said Starz is included in the Ultimate package.

40 minute phone call, and I feel like i've been ran through dry. Hopefully it was worth it. Congrats to those that had an easy phone call.

Ha, just called, got the 50 off and 4 months free of showtime with automatic roll off so I don't have to call and cancel. One upped you.

Took me 10 minutes though.

Holy crap!!! It worked. Thank you so much. I didn't think it would work because I already get the att/directv discount. She said simply, "let me check your account"

I have 6 tv's connected. All the bells and whistles too and I'm down to $34 a month!!!

Thanks so much!!!

Called the 1 800 directv number the first time and got a mean foreign chick who wasn't giving up anything. Just called the direct number 18007783397 and got 50$ off a month for a year.

So to get a loyalty discount you have to call? Why can't DTV just give it to people? Now can we discuss loyalty?

Would I be eligible? I have a basic DTV package, internet, and phone. Pay $116/month.

Still under contract.
