Call again and say "cancel service" at the voice prompt. That will connect you with a more experienced, and potentially more friendly, retention representative. They might be able to help you.

You wanted the NFL Sunday Ticket (seasonal subscrption). Wife ordered a day pass instead. And you are blaming DirecTV for your wife's mistake?

Seasonal subscription and day pass are separate there is not a switch option. So it is not the agent wouldn't do what you wanted, but they couldn't because there is no option in the system. Has nothing to do with you being a "loyal" customer or not.

However, there may be a way around this. Call DirecTV and when you get the voice system say "cancel". Explain (politely, do not take it out on the agent as not their fault) that there was a misconmunication and you were trying to order the full Sunday Ticket, not just the day pass. If this works in your favor, most likely they will have to do a one-time credit on the day pass along with adding the proper NFL Sunday Ticket. Certainly let them know that this situaiton has caused you to consider canceling.

Not a guaranee of working in your favor, but it is a decent shot.
