How much is DIRECTV a month for seniors?

Posted on: 10 Aug 2024

DIRECTV has various promotions and coupons for senior citizens to ensure that elderly people can also enjoy the services provided by them at a reasonable price. While there is a general monthly charge of $95 for seniors for a DIRECTV service, the actual amount that a senior pays depends on the package he/she opts for, whether he/she opts for packages bundling with other services, and whether there is an ongoing offer.

Base Pricing
The DIRECTV ENTERTAINMENT package is one of the initial DIRECTV packages that potential customers can subscribe to; it is best for senior citizens who want to save their cash. As of today, it ranges between $69.99 to $89.99 per month. The CHOICE package is a moderate package with more channels starting at $89.99 monthly. Other premier packages are available for $149.99 with the basic package of PREMIER. These prices do not include any form of discount that may be given out in the future.

It is also important to know that in addition to a lower monthly rate if you bundle DIRECTV with AT&T wireless or internet. The packages are advantageous for seniors since they can organize to get services from different AT&T Internet brands at a lesser cost than acquiring them individually. Now and again, the more service providers you get the more you are likely to be given a percentage discount on your bill.

Senior Discounts
Senior citizens and persons 65 years and above can also take advantage of the Senior Discount available for them. That makes it possible for qualified seniors to get a $25 discount each month for SELECT packages and above, and additional HBO, SHOWTIME, and Cinemax for $5 for the first three months. The senior discount can easily turn packages like the CHOICE into an affordable option, especially for those with meager income.

It is also important to note that new Directv customers especially senior citizens are also privileged to benefit from various introductory offers that are often extended. For instance, currently, DIRECTV has a promotional offer in which they are giving a $40 discount every month for the first 12 months to the new subscribers. When the Senior Discount was put into effect, seniors could sign up for CHOICE for $25 per month for their first year of service, or 50% off of the regular rate.

Protection Plan Discount
Existing customers also get an additional $2 off per month if they sign up for the DIRECTV Protection Plan at the senior citizen discount rate. This includes maintenance and service issues using spare parts such as receivers and dishes. Because things sometimes go wrong and seniors require some assistance, protection can come in handy.

This is in addition to other wireless service special offers such as the Senior Nation offer available to the elderly population. This provides the best existing plan to all the customers that are 65+ and costs them $30 per month. As a result of bundling, seniors could also get additional monthly discounts on cell phone service.

Ongoing Promotions
Besides targeted coupons applicable to senior users, DIRECTV offers common seasonal and annual offers for both, newcomers and loyal customers. These include offers like:

Invite Friends – Any senior who manages to convince friends to join also stands to benefit from the $100 per head reward given to the senior.
Customer Appreciation offers – These are incentives offered to loyal customers whereby they are offered credits, free upgrading to premium channels for some time, or even a certain percentage of discount on their bill.
Seasonal Promotions – Like many service providers, DIRECTV has promotional offers that are announced at some specific times of the year, and the elders can benefit from them, for instance, they can purchase the equipment at a reduced price, get installation for free, or even agree on a certain price per service knowing that they will not pay more than that for a specific period.
