DISH, like many other US carriers, is offering freebies to attract more customers. Many subscribers to major US network operators already enjoy free streaming services like Max and Netflix.

Starting this week, DISH is giving its customers Netflix for free, but there’s a catch. Here’s what you need to know:
– Netflix is included with the DISH TV subscription at no extra cost for two years.
– Existing customers signing up for a new two-year contract will get a free Netflix Standard plan with ads integrated into their DISH service.
– Customers will receive a $6.99 monthly credit on their bill for the duration of the offer.
– A Hopper 3, Hopper Duo, or Wally set-up box is required for the free Netflix offer.
– Customers can upgrade to higher tier Netflix plans and still receive the $6.99 monthly credit, but they will need to pay the price difference.

However, there are some caveats to consider:
– To get Netflix for free, you must sign up for a new 2-year contract, even if you’re an existing customer.
– DISH will not cover any price increases by Netflix in the future.
– Since streaming services like Netflix tend to raise prices annually, customers may end up paying more out of pocket.

While DISH is trying to incentivize longer customer contracts, not covering potential price hikes by Netflix may not be ideal. It’s something to consider before committing to a new contract and additional equipment fees.
