I had a few people tell me if you call and complain(say you're going to cancel and expect a long wait), they'll discount your monthly bill for a few months and give you free NFL package for the season.

Yeah, I don't have DirecTV anymore & never tried it, but a buddy of mine does that every season. He lets them renew his Sunday Ticket, then calls a few weeks before the season telling them to cancel because he can't afford it. He claims they've given him a hefty discount - 50% or more - every year.

Which is significant, Sunday Ticket ain't cheap!
