Costco DirecTV Deal Works With Referral Discount! $300 Cost Card+$10 off
Just want to inform my fellow SD'ers about my experience today with Costco's DirecTV in one of the Phoenix warehouses.
If you're currently interested in DirectTV, you may be familiar with their current Costco promotion which is a $300 Costco Cash Card in addition to DTV's promotion which is $27 off for 12 months and an additional $10 off for 12 months, making it $37 off total for 12 months.
Now, in addition to the above described current promotion, I used the "refer a friend" deal and got another $10 off, making the monthly savings for 10 months a total of $47!
When I called the DTV number on Costco's DTV link, the rep told me that offers CANNOT be combined...that's BS. I called DTV's regular new customer line and the guy added the extra $10 discount for me.
So, my package I selected was the Choice package, and the price breakdown is as follows:
Choice programming = $66.99
12 month discount of = $27
Additional 12 month discount of = $10
ADDITIONAL 10 month referral discount of = $10
Total for 10 months = $19.99 then back up to $29.99 for 2 months and up to regular price for the second year of the contract.
Just remember to get that referral discount by getting your friend's account number and the city they live in. These are what they ask for and your friend has to have their account in good standing as well.
Happy savings!

The regular new customer rep had no prob adding the referral discount. He didn't even know I used Costco, all he could see was that I used a "third party dealer" as he put it.

Hopefully they don't raise it on me, especially considering that I have everything in writing, as per Costco policy. I trust Costco with things like this so...we'll see!

- While not related to Costco but the thread in general, Sams Club, which runs a similar promo, also allows you to get the referral bonus. Pricing looks identical.
- To the OP, what about Equipment fees? I just recently signed up for this but the difference I am seeing is that they also charge for Genie boxes. Obviously this wouldnt be the case if you purchased your equipment outright on your own. For us, we have the CHoice package as well, we have two Genies. With our referral bonus, after tax, we pay $50.62 a month
- Choice Package (29.99)
- DIRECTV Equipment Services (27.00 [i.e., $15 for DVR service, $6 for each Genie])
- Other Charges, Adjustments & Taxes (3.63)
- Referall Bonus (-10.00)
Totals $50.61
Please, if there is a way for me to get rid of the Equipment Service charge let me know. I know if I buy my own equipment I could but I dont think that is economical, although I have only looked at it once.
