I don't know if there's a deadline of any kind, but as long as your order is active you should be fine. My installation was more than a month after ordering and the card arrived 2 weeks later.

When did you order and get installed? Thanks.

Guys, can you confirm if i need to be a costco member to get this deal? my sams club membership is about expire, may decide to switch.

nope.. and you can use the GC at the costco without getting membership... but beware you'll get hooked.. costco quality blows BJ out of water.. never been to sams.

Thanks.No, I just did the deal a week ago and they've already sent the Costco card. Just click "Get DirecTV" instead.

I think you can do that. Or call their customer service and let them do it for you.

Thanks

Why did it take me back to my cart with the referral credit removed after I submitting my credit card information for checkout? It then had this message at the top of my cart page: "pep.cart.referral_credit_removed.message"

Yep I had same concern before signing up on this deal. Called CSR and asked if I can cancel before 4th month he said sure.

Great deal! Getting install just in time for kickoff!!

Installer came early last weekend- arrived at 11:45 AM and was supposed to come between 1-4 PM- that was a surprise because do to other message board posts I was under the impression that I should expect them to arrive later than they said. Anyway, the guy was great and very helpful. Everything has been working like a charm- SO much better than Cox! Now hopefully my Cosco card will arrive in the next few weeks...

Ordered today...we'll see how it goes

Ordered 7/20, Installed 9/2. I received my email confirmation shipment for $180 Costco card today!

order placed, let see

Ordered and then installed five days later (tech was late AND took 5.5 hours to install!!!), received Costco Cash Card another five days later via FedEx. Wow!

I thought I had messed up the order because the screen hung soon after I entered my credit card info. Had to back out and check my account online. Order was completed but an install date was not finalized. Went in to choose an install date. Earliest date available was in October. I selected October and called the 800 number to change the install date. Didn't speak to anyone; only followed prompts. Earliest one offered was first week in Sept. hahaha. Strange that calling gave earlier dates. Calling in and dealing with the automated prompts doesn't affect the deal so don't be afraid to change the install date if you don't like the original dates offered online.

BEWARE: NFL Sunday Ticket is only free for the first year. The second year of your contract doesn't include it for free. Current ad on their website is VERY misleading since their site states, "For the first time ever, NFL SUNDAY TICKET is included at no extra charge." Then it mentions a few lines down that "This season of NFL SUNDAY TICKET included." Does that mean that the second year is not included? Very ambiguous. It doesn't mention clearly that it's only for the first year of your two-year contract. It may state it somewhere in fine print, but that's a different matter. Another reason why DirecTV sux balls. I only got it for the football.

Can it be cancelled after the first year? Or do you get stuck paying for it the second year? I'll take it for free, but pro football isn't worth paying anything for to me.

It can be cancelled. Just need to cancel before it auto renews, which I believe is July.

I tried to do this by phone initially and they messed up everything from not giving me the $100 referral discount, spelling my name wrong, and entering the wrong email address. It was so bad that I had to cancel and re-order online.


I just tried this afternoon and accidentally submitted the order. So I have to call Directv to give them my friend's account number. Will I be able to get both the $180 and $100? How did you know that they did not give you the $100 referral discount? It will be reflected in your account within 6 to 8 weeks as the CSR told me. It is already too late to cancel the service at that time.

Yes, I got both the $180 gift card and $100 referral credit. I made sure my email confirmation reflected the referral credit and then I printed my Directv order confirmation page with the Costco banner showing...just in case.

I came across some offers for Showtime and Starz that I hope will sweeten this deal. This will get you another $50 Cash Back.

There are $25 Cash Back rebates on their websites. You have to be a new subscriber and send in 3 months worth of your statements, which turns out to be free with Directv for first three months.

Starz $25 Cash Back

Showtime $25 Cash Back

thanks osujim! not only did i just save on my new package but i get 50$ back. what a day!

Is this better then the AAA deal where you get 20 months worth of $10 off? The prices look the same it's just either you get a $180 Costco Cash Card up front or $10 off your bill for 20 months.

BEWARE: Refer a friend may extend your contract duration. Make sure you verify it with DirecTV. That was happened to me.
