You WON'T get any "BENJAMINS" for referring your friends!

Referring a friend for Directv service will not get you any "Benjamins" - those 100 dollar bills, like they show in the commercials! You lose out with the fine print you don't see.

I referred my friend to sign up for the service. I gave her my account number and she signed up online on 12/2/9. I had been a good customer with them for several years and this was my first referral.

Prior to the installation date, my friend called to make sure her appointment date and new address was set and everything was on file for the referral credit. Directv confirmed and said that the credit would be applied in about a month.

Now we both have received letters stating that we would not be getting any credit for either account because she did not order equipment through the referral offer or did not provide my account number. I called Directv about it and was told my referral signed up online instead of via phone! AND, since my transfer service request could not be connected, due to no fault of mine, my account is now inactive/cancelled out for now.

The commercial didn't say anything about online orders! Directv said the credit would have been applied at $10 per month intervals over 10 months, not $100 all at once. (Benjamins are $100 bills, not $10 bills!) This is just a trick to get our referrals for free!
