I was going to sign up with them regardless as I was a customer with them when living with my brother.

So not only was NFL Sunday Ticket free, but I also got the $100 refer a friend discount, plus their advertised offer discount on their biggest channel package. I’ve always been a huge fan of DirecTV but its clear that these guys are smart and realized sacrificing short-term revenue was worth it for long-term revenue. (Reminds me of another company… Amazon)

TL;DR DirecTV’s service and its offers are amazing and worth it.
