I was with Dish for about 7-8 years and they always referred to me as a "valuable customer" . But when Direct TV offered me a much lower rate Dish couldn't even come close. Some "valuable customer" !! :-P

For me, it's either my current cable provider or satellite (neither of which gets good reviews). They have us by the gonads and they know it. mad

FYI, as long as your cards are in good standing, you can request either an APR cut or a credit line increase twice a year — and most times, they will oblige.

I wonder if they'd go for a complete forgiveness of my outstanding balance? grin

...doano about "gonads"...
...but I'll go along with "a tit in the wringer." smirk

otherwise, it's the same story...
...ComCrust or dish... I won't even go there. frown

I have the full boat (EVERTHING (but TheMovieChannel)
I have the phone, 2 Digital Boxes, 1 DVR, and
what they laugingly call "HIGH SPEED Cable"

I follow only 2 series; "The Newsroom" & "Shameless"

The rest mostly either movies A-Z classic & contemporary
or PBS, The History Channels, or The Discovery Channels

I'm paying a $220.00 per month, but being pretty
much housebound, it's my only source of entertainment.

...well...that and YOU GUYZE. smile

Michael, John,

Well you don't have to give them TMI. They don't need to know that you have no intention of switching, have read bad reviews, don't have a land line, w/e. Like I said, "If there's some reason you wouldn't want to switch don't worry, they don't want to lose you."

It's up to you guys, it's your money, but if you don't ask your chance of getting a reduced rate is 0%. Worse case all they would say is no, right?
