Beautiful ! So true ! And that looks like Mount Rainier ! <| sep |> With Dish Network , you have 2 options . First you need to find something to complain about . They ' re constantly taking down chanels due to ongoing negotiations with providers , so pick a channel that isn ' t current airing and act like it ' s your favourite thing in the world . When I worked there , it was Fox News . Doesn ' t matter if you like it or not , just pretend to . First rep will offer you $ 5 off your bill for 612 months . You can take that , and stop there , or . Don ' t accept the $ 5 . Tell them that just won ' t cut it . They ' ll start pitching alternatives and offer to downgrade your package . Humor them for a bit , but after a few minutes claim you want to cancel . They ' ll transfer you to retention . From here , your discount all comes down to what kind of customer you are . They have internal ' tiers ', ranging from 1 star to 5 stars . A 1 star customer won ' t get shit they ' re the people who are perpetually 2 months overdue and never pay their bills . 5 Star customers are people with the most expensive packages who always pay on time , have premium channels , and buy a lot of PPV . You ' re probably a 3 star customer at $ 70 , assuming you usually pay on time . So the retention department is authorised to offer you up to $ 25 off your bill for 612 months . They won ' t start off with that offer probably start off at $ 10 but push it as far as you can . It helps if you tell them that you ' ve already spoken with Cox , Comcast , or DTV and have a better offer waiting . You ' ll need to repeat this process every 612 months when your deal runs out for best results . What ' s really crucial here is that you find some ' legitimate ' reason to cancel . If you just say that you don ' t think it ' s worth the cost , they don ' t give a shit . You have to find a ' real ' reason for them to justify it . Channel outages are typically the best and easiest reasons . Expect to spend like an hour on the phone throughout this process . Also , look into Sling TV , you might like that and it ' s only like $ 20 month I think . Edit And if they bring up cancellation fees , assuming you ' re still in contract , just act like that ' s no problem at all and you can pay it . They ' ll be ridiculously high , but just pretend that it ' s no big deal , so they don ' t think they can threaten you with it .
