Your yearly "Get DirecTV to discount NFL Sunday Ticket" thread

[The Franchise]

Just called in and got it for free again....plus a $10 bill credit for 12 months and a $5 bill credit for 6 months.

Didn't even have to haggle with the guy.

Anybody else tried yet?

Ok, this is how i got sunday ticket without direct tv.

First off, i went to craigslist and looked for empty apartment listings. I used that address with my name and i was accepted because it's an apartment. Then it just let me sign up using a completely different account. I used my mom's cellphone as mines already in their database! lol

Bam, sundayticket on my ps4. i had to pay 250 for it, but it beats not having to have direct tv service! Anyways, im ready for sunday now.

So you changed your card's billing address to the empty apartment?

I don't think DirectTV cares if the billing address matches the service address.

they didnt ask for one. I used fake address, put in my visa info and that was it, success. When i talked to the CS guy to use my regular dtv account he told me he couldnt do it that way, if i was a new account i could. I told him, so if i call ba kcon another phone with a fresh account i can do this? he goes, well yeah, i dont see why not. I was like this is stupid, but ok.

When you submit for the online package you put your address in to be determined eligible. Then you have to put in your card info, which they say is checked to ensure your address is eligible to receive service.

I am just wondering if the "check" actually occurs, or if he was determined eligible and put in his regular billing info.

Damn. Noted. I got access for $100 using a different method. It is Chiefs only, though.

I was eligible last year and did it on my Xbox one. I just moved to an area that wasn't eligible. I was going to keep my billing address the same until I ordered the package again, but I received a notice that my card had been compromised in July, so I had to change it to have my card delivered.

I now know that was unnecessary.
