DirecTV review

PLEASE NOTE: If you disagree with this review and post a comment to that end, that is fine. If you disagree and post your account number in an attempt to personally benefit from the Refer-a-Friend program, I will report the comment as inappropriate and delete the comment.  Posting your account number in an attempt to get others to put you down as the referral and receive a benefit from this review is similar to phishing / spam, which violates the terms of usage.

DirecTV advertises that if you refer-a-friend, both you and your friend receive a $50 credit on your bill.  This is paid at $10/month for 5 months.  All the friend has to do is give your account number at the installation and in 4-6 weeks, you will receive your credit.

This is a scam for DirecTV to gain more customers.  They do not pay the bonus as promised.  I have referred two friends following the instructions explicitly and have yet to see my credit some four months later.

My friend called DirecTV at two months to inquire into the credit and they claimed they knew nothing of him being referred by me.  About that time, I referred a second friend thinking it would just be a simple matter to clear up.  My second referral has now had DirecTV for two months and neither of us have received our credit as well.  I called this evening and customer serrvice said they had no record of my referral for either friend.  I am canceling my DirecTV when my committment is up in a month and switching to either Dish Network or back to cable.
