[Consolidated] Any mileage deals on satellite TV?

I can't find any...could someone help me find some points or miles for Dish or Direct?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

You can pay your bill with a credit card and get whatever rewards your card offers.

We pay our DishTV bill annually and receive one month free. Same deal for paying for the movie channels annually. No deal on paying annually for local channels or extra receivers. Check with your local telephone company, they may have a deal with one of the satellite providers. I noticed at Sprint
http://local.sprint.com/home/local/p...ialoffers.html
you get first month free Dishnetwork.
Wish I had a clubdish referral card to offer, we could both get something out of the deal. I'll call now and get some for future use.
And ALWAYS pay with a miles earning card

FWIW, once you have Dish or Direct, Cablevision will give you a great deal on cable/internet/telephone, and reimburse your early termination fee for Dish or Direct. I preffered DISH, but coudn't pass up the offer they made.

Just got an email promo from AA for 10K miles with DirecTV

Are there any other mileage promos out there (would prefer UA) for either DISH or DirecTV?

(While I'm at it, any mileage deals for Comcast cable?)

I just got a referral thing for Direct TV in my bill. $100 off for new subscriber with free standard professional installation with no equipment to buy and HD DVR upgrade with Choice Extra package or above.

PM me know if anyone needs/wants it.

I wonder if/when DISH will match.

Got 5K UA miles, iirc, for DISH service a few years ago.

I would just run a quick Google search for whichever you prefer most, as I think many airlines make such offers, e.g. 7500 for new Direct TV service w/ AA.

I just went with the 7500 with AA myself. The only other promo I found was 1500 e-miles with US.

I think UA used to have a DirecTV 5K offer but I'm not seeing it on the UA website anymore. I'm planning to do the AA DirecTV bonus when I switch from Dish... which won't be soon enough!

ETA: OK there is a 5K UA miles offer, didn't see it as it shows up under their wireless page http://www.mileagepluswireless.com/

Sorry to be slightly OT - but before I jump on this for 7,500 miles - isn't Dish much better than DirectTV? Opinions?
