Complaint Rating:

I have been with Direct TV for the past 6 years and up until this morning, I was pleased with the service.

My parents signed up with Direct TV three months ago, and did so via online. There was no field to put in a referral, so after signing up, they called it in.

The rep said they would apply the credit to both of our accounts.

Fast forward 3 months & we both haven't seen the credit. So I called.

The Rep told me that it was too late & that our referral had been "denied" huh? How can it be denied when the new customer called to add our account as the referral only days after online ordering & before service was even installed?

I also go the "courtesy" offer...to deduct $10.00 off my bill for the next 6 months.

I told him that although I appreciated the offer, I was still very upset over how this issue had been handled, and that if I didn't know better, it seemed like they were trying to scam us.

At this point the rep said to call the referral 800 number to try & talk to someone about it. If the other person's compaint is any indication, Im not holding out much hope.

Monetary Loss: $200.

Location: Dover, New Hampshire

Don't feel lonely, I had a friend give me one of the referral cards and I had it installed through Century link who could not provide me with anything of use. I told the about the card and was told to give it to the installer.

The installer told me to call it in around two hours after my TV was set up. Did that and was told to wait several days after activation and email it in on web site. Tried that and was denied access. Finally got a Tech.

to help me get signed in and still would not take my neighbors number. Called again and was told by a guy who couldn't speak English well enough to understand, that it was not on record that I had tried to get it. He told me to call another number. I finally told him where to go.

This is a complete rip off scam set up. I have to wonder if anyone has ever gotten one of these rebates ?

It's easier if you do it online instead of over the phone. They do give you push-back over the phone. The best deal I've found is to combine their advertised deals with the costco card and refer a friend program by following these directions. You don't need to be a Costco member to get the card and you can then sell it if you want.

1) Go to Costco.com and enter "DIRECTV" in the search bar. or follow this link

http://www.costco.com/directv.html...

2) You should see DIRECTV Costco cash card promotion page. Click on "Click HERE to learn more" box. It should take you to DIRECTV Costco Connection Center. This will activate the cash card promotion. Don't do anything else on this page.

Next, Open a new window or tab.

3) Copy and paste the following text [ http://www.directv.com/refer ] into a new tab or window of your web browser. Make sure you do this in a new tab or window from your browser!

Copy and paste the following referral code [ 07054**** ] where it says "Enter your friends DIRECTV account number here"

Now click on "Get Directv" below it.

4) After you add your programming package, you should see the $10 off for 10 months under "Discounts" on the checkout page. Make sure there is "The DIRECTV Costco Connection Center" banner on top of the checkout page. This will ensures that you will get the $200 Costco cash card.

When you scroll to the bottom of the page you will see the referral discount.

Complete the purchase and you will receive the $200.00 Costco Cash Card in a few weeks.
