Latest Comcast Deals & Rebates
Many moons ago I wrote about a whole host of Comcast deals and rebates, including the “Ditch the Dish” program, and with the year of promotional pricing nearing its end it’s time once again to play the cancel and signup game. How does this game work? Well, do you have a roommate? Cancel your account and sign up under their name. Do you have a girlfriend/boyfriend/friend who can “live” in your house? Then you can cancel yours and sign up in their name. The beauty of Comcast is that anyone can pay the bill, they don’t care as long as you put the correct account number on the check!
The best strategy is to threaten to cancel because you saw a better deal (have the deal in hand). If they don’t give you the same promotional offer that you can get by signing up brand new (or they give you enough that you don’t think dealing with a new signup, because remember you have to “wait” for the cable guy, is worth it) then cancel and sign up again.
Now… onto the updated deals and rebates.
“Ditch the Dish”
Yep, this bad boy is still going strong.
ComcastSpecial.com
This site has by far the easiest and best way to check if Comcast is available in your area. The page that loads lets you enter in your phone number and email and checks immediately. You don’t have to fill in a bunch of junk plus the offer itself is competitive:
- High Speed Cable Internet @ $19.99 for 6 months
- $75 Cash Back - Limited time they say but they always extend these “limited time offers”, check your Comcast availability.
- D-Link DCM-202 Cable modem (might not be that, but it’s that picture)
- A wireless router
- … some other junk.
(also, you can get $75 back for signing up to cable television and $25 back for signing up for telephone service too)
$75 from ComcastOffers.com
No muss, no fuss, sign up with ComcastOffers and get seventy-five bucks for your trouble in 10-16 days plus a free Motorola Cable Modem after rebate (it’s $79.95 initially).
Staples & Dell No Longer Offering Rebates?
Or at least I can’t find them. Last year it was all the rage, sign up for Comcast service on Staples, Dell, Office Depot, etc. and submit rebates for them all. I had done it with great success twice but it appears as though neither vendor is offering rebates with Comcast service activation anymore. 
Good luck!

As you know, Jim, I did this with my roommates about 6 months ago. It looks like we did the Comcast Offers deal (though we got $100 rebate instead of $75). For starters, I JUST got the rebates a week ago. They took their sweet time about it, but it did all come in ($80 for the free modem and $100 in cool cash). And of course, the $20/month rate for 6 months. A few notes though — the rate was (perhaps, “is”) only good for places with *existing* cable TV service. Keep that in mind. So basically, you have to two-step it. Sign up for the best TV deal, then after that goes through, sign up for internet.
Aside about TV service. I found the best deal for the TV service BY FAR was found by talking to the kiosk guys at the mall (Arundel Mills in particular for other Marylanders). Things onilne or over the phone weren’t even close. Also, calling them 3-4 different times, I got a different price all but once. And all the prices were horrible. The kiosk guy put together a number of great deals. In the end, since we care less about all the nifty cable packages, we got FSS (basic channels) and HBO with a digital box (not digital cable though, but the box, so you get the guide feature — crucial!) for ~$35 a month for 12 months. I think the FSS alone over the phone was $50 (no HBO and no box). Not even close…
[...] deals, those that involve are more than a coupon or rebate. Be on the lookout for how to get huge discounts from Comcast Internet and Cable service as well as reviews and comparisons of various services such as online movie rentals and digital [...]
This info is so outdated it is not even funny. I just called and basically there is nothing this lousy company can offer me. Their best deal was The Started Digital package for $53 a month and they would give me $100. They do not even offer the “Ditch the Dish” program. You have to call Comcast directly to get that deal.
So basically it was a waste of my time to call this company. I wish sites like this would update and remove old posts. I called 9/7/07.
What lousy company? Comcast?
i sogned up for the comcast tripple play about two months ago and still have not recieved my rebate or any response. all of your promotions are great , but you will suffer my business account for not holding true to your word.
