I thought I’d mention this deal for the Football Fans out there. DirecTV has a special limited time offer through 10/6: Get NFL Sunday Ticket and get 5 Months FREE of DirecTV’s Best TV Package. You’ll also get Free HD for Life and 2 Free Receivers. Back in the day when I was a die-hard Football fan, I subscribed to the NFL Sunday ticket and I really liked it because I watched several games a week and was able to see a lot of games I wouldn’t have been able to on regular tv.
When we decided to switch from antenna to DirecTV last fall we did a deal similar to this. We got a good intro rate, plus $100 off from a friend who also had DirecTV. I also scored $50 cashback from a cash back program which really sweetened the deal.
To grab the extra $100 off on top of the 5 months free (they pay it out as $10 off for your first 10 months) click the link in the post above first, then go to directv. com/refer and enter the code 052172644. This was a great discount for us last year, and since they have the $100 promotion going again I hope someone else can take advantage of it!
DirecTV is definitely cheaper for us than cable and it seems that they usually have better deals than Dish Network. It’s a bit of a pain when the signal cuts out during stormy weather, but otherwise it’s a great service. Be sure to read up when you join, some upgrades require a 2-year contract while most intro discounts expire after the first year. We have the most basic package and it’s great!
