The card linked offers are some good savings but don't compare to $12/month.

Thanks original poster, repped!! I already have a subscription, added the offer to the card (says can be used 3 times by December). I am hoping the next 3 YouTube TV bills qualify for the $20 credit each time. If not, it was still worth a try.
I switched to YouTube TV ("YTTV") because I got tired of that game with my cable company. I also didn't like that Comcast charged almost $40 for "broadcast TV fees" in addition to all the other package charges. Limited options was another reason I switched: Comcast offers in my area only 3 channel service options: a pathetic plan (around 10-channel plan), then ~125 channels, then the huge plan with every single channel. I wanted more than 10 channels but less than 125. I tried to reduce my bill by changing my channel plan but I didn't get the channels I wanted with the 10-channel plan, so I was stuck with the 125-channel plan. Who needs two Hallmark channels and 20+ digital music channels?? I was overpaying for stuff I didn't need. Confusing, complicated billing was another reason to switch.
I also noticed with YTTV it provides a 4-hour live TV buffer (!) for the channel that it's tuned to.. this is way better than cable. Comcast gives you 30 or 60 minute live TV buffer, max. 30 minutes for their cheap tuner boxes & 60 minutes for the DVR (digital video recorder) boxes. YTTV also provides unlimited DVR recordings, though every recording can only be kept 9 months after recording & then is auto-deleted. With Comcast you get a basic hour allotment (20 hr I think) and could upgrade for more hours, but of course it costs you more each month. There are many sites on the internet (cnet.com, PC Magazine, etc.) that provide comparisons to help people decide what is best for them.
Hope that helps answer the question, "Who's this for?" If not, then maybe this is not a deal of interest and simply keep searching for something you like.
