Dish Offers $250 for Customers Switching From DirecTV

Dish will offer a $250 savings to customers who switch from DirecTV, the company said in a news release Tuesday. The promotion ends April 8, it said. The company released a series of promotional videos showing what customers are willing to do for $250. Customers will need to make a 24-month commitment with AutoPay and paperless billing, it said. "We deal with promotions like this all the time, and Dish has targeted us directly in the past without much success," a DirecTV spokesman said.
