Gift Card Scam

Signed up with Direct TV a year ago and was promised a $250 gift card, after a year of phone calls and a letter to corporate(certified mail) and no response  I have concluded this company is a shameful operation.  I am surprised AT&T would let this go on.

Where did you sign up for DirecTV?  All too often third party sales reps at places like Costco or door-to-door will promise the moon to book a deal. They don't work for DirecTV.

Signed up directly with Direct TV.  They admit that there should have been a Gift Card Issued but it fell through the cracks.

Hi @mcummings3296,
we are aware of the importance of getting what promised. Let's meet in a Direct Message on this. Please check your DM inbox (it's the chat icon next to the bell icon at the upper right corner of the forums) to take a closer look.

Thanks!

Just a note to avoid any actual scams, it is DirecTV, not Direct TV. Some of those scams hide in plain sight because of minor misspellings like that.

DirecTV is not a shameful operation itself. There have definitely been challenges since the acquisition by AT&T (I believe they underestimated what an undertaking it would be combining those two companies). Hopefully now that AT&T has added in a co-owner for DirecTV that we shall see improvements in the coming months as DirecTV gets focused support again.
