Dish Pay As You Go Beware!

So after several months of "Dish Pay-As-You-Go" in my Class C, I wanted to get Dish in my home (currently a Direct TV customer). I wanted Dish in my home so I could get a better plan in the Class C that would only be $7 a month, since it would be tied to my Dish home account. I called Dish and was told to cancel my Pay-As-You-Go service, wait 24 hours and call back to sign-up for home service. Now after talking to several reps, Dish says I must wait 60 days to sign-up for home service to get their 2 year specials! So, beware! I just gave up & decided to continue to pay for Dish in my RV and Direct tv for my home. They did tell me to call a local retailer and see if they could help me.

So you are mad at Dish since they will not "bend" their rules that YOU agreed to?

If you are wanting the "special" pricing you CAN NOT BE A "CURRENT" CUSTOMER, PERIOD.

The fine print on ALL special pricing does mention that the pricing is only good for NEW CUSTOMERS. By you already HAVING the "pay as you go" service from Dish you ARE already a customer and therefore NOT ELIGIBLE for introductory or new customer special pricing..

It isn't just Dish that does this, Direct also does this and most if not all cable systems will have such limitations. It is all done to stop folks doing just like you are wanting to do.. It also stops folks from scamming the service out of money by stopping the service then waiting a day and then signing up as a new "customer" to get a promotional pricing..
