[quote=Anonymous]Talked to the Direct TV guy at Costco. He presented what seemed like a great deal: $53 per month for two years (plus a 3.5% county sales tax fee). We asked a bunch of question like whether there were any other fees, whether the rate was locked in, etc. Ok, great, all of that sounds good, time to put it in writing. So what they do is prepare a "worksheet" that has all of the terms discussed on it. Then, they give you a letter that you have to sign that is separate from the worksheet. Well, in the middle of the letter it says that the promotional rate is only good for one year and then it jumps up to $88 a month. It also says that they can change the retail price of the service you receive at any time. Yes, that's right, you have to use their service but you have no idea what the price may be 13 months from now and price changes are not a basis to cancel the service. The kicker is that the letter supersedes the worksheet! The sales guy even had the balls to say that the worksheet supersedes the contract...unreal. Just seems like a terrible and deceptive way to do business.[/quote]
