Starhub's unseen plots on latest promo

boredandsleepy SG

I'm sure most of u are aware of starhub's latest promo on the samsung 26" LCD tv rite. well i almost went to get 1 for myself last week until i heard the criteria to get the tv.

1) new/existing starhub mobile users will have to subscribe/renew contract for 2 yrs

2) new/existing maxonline users will have to subscribe/renew contract for 2 yrs

3) new/existing cable tv users will have to subscribe/renew contract for 2 yrs

Only when u have done the above 3 then u will be ENTITLED a chance to get the tv cos its only for the 1st 1000 ppl.

In advertisement and brochures of this promo, all i remembered was "just sign up or renew A 2 YR CONTRACT and u will get this 26" Samsung LCD tV free"

it did not say get 3 2 yr contracts.

Starhub very short of money meh???? no money take from family member la ur got singtel and M1 mah. come out with this kind of promo to eat singaporean's money =.=

dragg SG

a new tv means another tv license.

boredandsleepy SG

not really la, throw away old tv can le. but i'm just not satisfied with the way they bring up this promo to the public lor.

dragg SG

thats how they secure business for the next few years.

boredandsleepy SG

well i cant tell that any of the major telco companies in SG are not making money at all.

Like i said, if really not enough turn over, go borrow from ur family members lor. theres always a fmaily member in singtel and M1 mah. have to squeeze the poor off their money then they happy.

FireIce SG

i think this is a perfectly fine way of marketing

they are doing business u know

dnl_sim SG

besides starhub , m1 & singtel are basically doing the same , gimmicks / gadgets are long term business stragegy and that’s hy they are making big bucks every year

FireIce SG

i would call them strategies, not gimmicks…...

kaobeikaobu SG

sue them till teng koa... Mad

forfun_cash SG

There isnt anything to sue in the first place.

poon cho tang SG

businesses, like humans, r ruthless Laughing

kaobeikaobu SG

then challenge them to sue u. Mad

FireIce SG

sue base on wat?

this is wat they are offering
u keen to take up u sign up loh
if u think bo hua then too bad

u are not obligated to subscribe if u dun like them

boredandsleepy SG

well my main motive for this tread isn’t about sue-ing anybody. its just to cre8 some awareness for those of u who are interested in the lcd tv and not to fall for their plot.

FireIce SG

always read the fine print.

boredandsleepy SG

yah i read the fine prints. it only said terms and conditions apply. available for the 1st 1000 customers. thats all.

CoolMyth SG

I read the fine prints on Straits Time and yeah, they did mention sign for all three. Laughing

photo_seeker SG

I read the fine prints somewhere and saw the minimum requirements. And I don't call this a plot, it's a business sales strategies anyway.

But a TV Licence is charge per household irregardless of how many TV that you have.

parn SG

It’s easy….just ask them if you’re still eligible for the samsung lcs if you sign up with them now. Only sign up with them if you’re able to get the lcd. IF they’re not sure, you don’t sign up lor.

zheshi SG

What wrong with it. Unless they con you into believe that just by signing up with one of their service u could get the Tv, than it their plot. It stated so clearly that u have to renew all 3 than u could that the Tv set. So what wrong with it?
