Lied to about 100 gift card

[Rick65]

Was promised gift card to make the switch, made the switch couple months ago, still no card and nobody seems to know what I'm talking about. Dish needs to do a better job with their 3rd party vendors or make it right with the customers if the 3rd party will not.

Those are specific offers from the 3rd party and has nothing to do with them. The third parties are separate companies they set their own business rules and has their own offers.

[Rick65]

I know what they are,third party or not do you think they are getting new subscribers with out getting paid from Dish.

[Chadt4141]

The same way a grocery store gets paid for selling certain things at certain discounts that require the manufacturer to do a “mail in rebate”. Same principle applies. You need to take it up with the one that made the offer.

Think of it this way. You tell someone you’ll give them $100 to sign up for Dish, if they use your referral code. They use your code but you do not pay them... should Dish be responsible for paying your promise?

[Rick65]

Apples and oranges Chad, and if I tell someone I will give them 100.00 for doing something you can be **bleep** sure I will. My point was if they are using these 3rd parties to get new subscribers they should know what is being said and what's not being done, it's obvious Dish just don't care

[Chadt4141]

There are hundreds of retailers, and thousands of offers... not to mention, part of being a third party is they set their own business rules. A lot of retailers sale more than just Dish as well...

And how are they apples and oranges? The principles are the exact same.

Hey Rick65. I know how truly frustrating it is when you're promised something and it doesn't get delivered. I would be happy to review your account with you to see how I can help with this​.

It appears Chad 'just doesn't get it'.  Directly or indirectly, that third party represents Dish; and what they do reflects upon Dish. 

If Dish doesn't want to be associated or known for these types of shady practices, they (Dish) need to reel those rogue third parties in.

But its a dirt bag industry, and Dish hasn't always been known for their honesty.
