Dont Taze Me Bro Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I've been with DTV for 14 years now. They usually do me a solid since I have the premium channel package and get Sunday Ticket every year. What I find amusing though is I'll read posts on here one has gotten free NFL Sunday Ticket by saying different reasons (e.g. one will say they demanded it free, another they want the free ticket because new subscribers get it and it's not fair, etc.). Then my friends will tell me what they did to get it free. Then I call and have tried to use the same method and am told, even by supervisors in the retention dept. that they cannot give it out free this year. Then they give me multiple discounts that make it "free" as it cancels out the cost of getting it and then some. Not saying anyone is lying or them for that matter. I know depending on what level employee they are, they are limited to what they can give you or discount you, they have told me that before. But I wonder if they have a quota of "free" gives on the Ticket per year or something and once they are used up, then they technically can't give it "free" anymore and have to offer discounts?

MattFancy Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I've never had any issues with DTV customer service. Anytime I've called and tried to get deals, they've always been good about offering something. I had zero desire to switch to anything else at the moment.

Chew Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 After I got through with the dude, I was like "oh yeah I'd like Sunday Ticket for free if possible." He cam back like "that line item shows zero dollars, you're not being charged for it. It's free again this year" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enforcer_FFX Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Not to toot my own horn, but I do "friendly and polite but disappointed" very well when talking to customer service reps lol. I got all day bro, yes I'll hold while you see if you can get approval from your supervisor. Right on! Just being polite and friendly can pay off sometimes when dealing with customer service reps. One time, while flying for business, and waiting at the gate, the flight got cancelled. So, naturally, everybody was pissed and wigging out on the customer service reps. I was annoyed, but figured "it's out of my control, I'll get there eventually." So, I was pretty chill when it got to my turn to rebook. And rep said, "you know what, thank you for being so understanding with me today, I can get you on the next flight, w/ a free upgrade to first class." Only time I've ever flown 1st class. hahaha, all my coworkers who were in line in front of me and didn't get that offer were jealous as a mug! In-flight your boy was relaxed and living it up!

Major Harris Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Red zone is better than Sunday ticket. I guess if i was out of skins viewing area i would want Sunday ticket. And directv does their own red zone, and it's not as good as the other one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Colby Sullivan? That totally sounds like an old, washed up skateboarder character, trying to recapture past glory . Probably played by Sean William Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Do Itch Big Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 From what I see is you are setting the size still as a rectangle. <div style = 'background-image: url(image.gif)'></div> div { background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: 50%; border-radius: 50%; width: 100px; height: 100px; } Try something like that, man html has gotten crazy since I used to dabble. Thanks, I'll try it out. Only question is I'm using a thumbnail image not a background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
