Weekly Challenge: Get Free HBO Seven months ago [Flun proposed that we have weekly challenges](http://www.reddit.com/r/SocialEngineering/comments/ls4s8/hey_do_you_guys_think_it_would_be_cool_to_have/c2v7a3i). I thought this was a great idea but the enthusiasm seemed to have just faded away. If anyone's still interested I have an idea for a nice and easy first challenge to get us started: GET FREE HBO (or whatever other premium channels you want) Call up your cable provider, ask to switch to their disconnection department and inform them that there are deals by other cable companies and you would consider switching-- but receiving free premium channels could change your mind. (Make sure you don't get convinced into getting a contract or anything.) I called up my Cable Provider a few weeks ago, and I got 14 premium channels (for a year) AND $4 off the monthly bill. Now I get to enjoy Game of Thrones every Sunday night. So Like I said this challenge is very easy. [Here's a link](http://www.wisebread.com/want-free-hbo-or-showtime-just-ask) if you want a thorough explanation of what to do. If these weekly challenges catch on (which I hope!), we'll need some way to choose what will be the challenge for the following week. So to those who complete challenge, please give us a little breakdown of what happened and what freebies you managed to get. Good luck!
