Certainly, ask if any discounts are available and enjoy them while they are there, but never rely on them to be your ongoing cost. Time to review the channels you watch and verify what the best package is for you. Getting $10 or $20 for 12 or perhaps 24 months (often with an agreement for the same time) were the norm back when discounts were more common. That you have gotten "$40 off for 24 months" is impressive as such large single specials were only 12 months and not often. They would not be able to keep giving immense discounts to the larger number of existing customers. New customers are a smaller group then continuing ones.
Discounts are more as part of an intro special to attract business. So "what gives" is the gravy train is coming to an end. The networks keep increasing the costs, no matter how much all the TV providers negotiate to try and prevent it. Package cost has gone up each year for more than 3 years. If you cannot afford service without discounts, or just don't like the cost, then it is your responsibility to reduce service until within your preferred price point. If you are constantly on retention discounts, then that is a prime example of the problem they are addressing. And this was before the pandemic hit.ĭiscounts were never intended to be permanent as they are not sustainable for the business. They identified an issue of customers being on too much discount and/or on them for too long. A couple years ago or so, their CEO announced they were pulling back discounts.
