Regarding your reward card, see this

https://forums.att.com/t5/DIRECTV-Account/DIRECTV-Billing-and-Rewards/m-p/4877114#M3325

 

Regarding the price .... What does it say on your order confirmation email?  Unfortunately the reps in AT&T stores still don't seem to know much about DirecTV packages and pricing.  The only thing that matters is what's stated on the order confirmation you signed upon installation of your DirecTV equipment.

So what stuff do you have now? 

Has your DirecTV service already been installed?  If not, just refuse the installation and your order will be cancelled.

If you need DirecTV's order confirmation (this is not what the sales person would have given you, but provided from the company directly), call 1-800-531-5000. The order confirmation can be emailed again for your reference.

 

If you are not yet installed, you can discuss modifying the order or closing the request for service if it will not work for you. Already installed on the other hand means you accepted that order (as shown on the official order, not what the sales agent may have "promised" you) and install were to your satisfaction. Though there is a 14 day window where certain "corrections" might be made. After that as long as what you are receiving is what is on the official order confirmation then you have what you have. But if that order confirmation and what you have don't match, then you call DirecTV to resolve.

 

With any new service it is important to read over the order details to make sure everything is as expected. If you have questions or need to make changes to the order, or don't receive documentation on the order at all, then don't accept install until it is resolved. Otherwise you are blindly accepting anything with nothing to help you dispute after the fact.

I talked with att/DirecTV the salesman did put done any promotion codes it
was just verbally with myself a friend and a few customers. So no record of
that and att/DirecTV told me I need to go back to the store and have the
sales man fix the mistakes I did go back but the guy who did my order is no
longer there or in the state and there isn't any promotion that they r
giving that offers 300$ so much m stuck with crap I never ok and got
suckered into a lie so I don't get the promotion code. Heck I never got the
promotion code before I bundled for the 100$ rewards card for internet
ordered online over 50 mb. That's been 3 months since I ordered that. I
keep getting the run around and rewards center say I'm so sorry but we need
the confirmation code or a code that was supposed to been emailing or
mailed to me so I don't know how to get these codes any other way I'm stuck
n no worry's or no prom nothing but a bill every month so sad I think I'm
calling BBB today. Not one code for nothing and stuck with crap I didn't
order. Thanks everyone

It's a tough lesson learned. Never trust any verbal promises from a sales rep. Get it in writing!  

Good luck with your BBB complaint.
