TV ClubHouse: Archive: I dropped my real player feeds 3 days early

Just a reminder for anyone that does what I do each year...I get the $9.95 superpass thingy from real.com each year and then cancel after BB. I noticed that the charge hits my credit card on the 22nd of each month, so I called them today to drop the feeds. (I found that this year I didn't bother to watch them for days at a time and this last week is usually the most boring part of the season...on the live feeds.) Anyhow, Real told me my feeds will continue through the 21st and that my credit card will not be charged anymore.

When I called to cancel, they tried to get me to wait while they give me one free month to decide, but stupidly, I said no, so my feeds will end on Sunday.

Of course, with my luck, something cool like a plague of locusts or a sinkhole under the backyard of the BB house will happen between Sunday and Wednesday! LOL

Anyhow, I just wanted to remind people that that pesky $9.95/mo charge will continue on unless you got the "BB only" deal they offer.

Their number to drop the subscription is:

1 (888) 768-3248

I dropped mine when Ali won the diamond veto and they said my account was paid up for another week, but I didn't watch it after that day. They didn't offer me a free month either! :) I would have said no anyway.. I feel like 3 months of my life have been wasted and now I need to make up for it

Thank you for the reminder, and the toll-free number. I called to cancel, I was offered a free month as well but declined. I still have access to the real content through Oct 8, so that's cool.

Monalisahi - Ya got me too!!! I almost sounded like Ali - "I hate that!!"

Good one though, I'm just really glad you added that <just kidding> at the bottom.

Thanks Sanfran! I haven't watched the feeds in weeks and you convinced me it's time to cancel.

The last time I watched the feeds was when they were free all season in BB1 ;)

Lost....I wouldn't have left it out. I didn't want anybody thinking I was serious about it. But I did consider putting it in a separate post, and quickly dismissed that idea.

I called to cancel. They offered the free month. I took it but know I will cancel prior to the 30 days. I've yet to find any REAL <no pun intended> purpose for it other than Big Brother. Seems like anything worth watching is an extra premium, and it's not worth it.

Thanks so much Sanfran for the reminder! That was helpful to me as I've been ridiculously busy.

mines good tell October 2003, I got the superpass deal that happened before big brother started. You could get for 24.99 three months of real networks then it costs 9.95 a month. plus the 15 day free trail offer. it was a good deal because I got access to everything rather then just big brother.

Thanks for the 800 number Sanfranjoshfan, I'll save that for later.

Not that there was anything good to watch on realnetwork anyway.

I cancelled it and they wanted to know why and I said because its boring and I got a free month. I cancelled Sept 1 and have feeds until Oct 1...

Weird; I called and they just cancelled me, no questions asked (I just told them I couldn't find enough content to justify the $10). My dad called about 5 minutes later (I called to remind him to cancel) and they gave him a free month and all he has to do to cancel is reply to the email, no further calls required.

He said the same thing I did to cancel, but the rep asked him what he signed up for initially, he said BB, and that's when they offered him the month.

Bizarre!!!

I imagine that Real is giving people the extra month to hook them into their other content. It's a marketing move. Sorry they didn't give you the extra one though Justin42. Maybe the person you spoke to was having an off day.

5{an,

Thanks so much for posting the number. I have thought many times this past week that I would have to ask someone here for the info and now it is here without request. I'm sure this helped many people here. Thanks for being so generous!
