SKy - current customer; got 20% off for 6 months

Options
I just phoned Sky to ask for Sports to be taken off (thus reducing £46 a month to £37.50). This was a genuine request as I wanted to reduce that particular outgoing.

However, the guy I spoke to said they had an offer (as I've been a long time customer) of 20% off the full package. Therfore I keep sports and pay less! For 6 months also.

    I did a similar thing 2 weeks ago and was give 25% off for 6 months...

    If you an existing Sky customer and have been with them for sometime its worth calling them a couple of times per month to reduce your outgoings.

    We cancelled ours and within 2 weeks we had a phone call offering 6 months with 50% off and no contract so can cancel any time :D.

    This is exactly what we need...everyone should try and call thier bluff and Sky will bow to the pressure.

    Its unacceptable that they charge outrageous ammounts like this.

    i was on a basic deal with just 2 mixes paying £18.50 a month i think it was. Got offered either 20% off for 6 months or a £5/month deal for 3 months if i reduce to 1 mix.

    Chose the second option so saving £13/month and can call up in 3 months and do the same thing again!!

    They'll call you before the month is out asking you to reconsider.
    TESCO EVERY LITTLE change to the t&cs HELPS
  • If you have Sky tv but dont have movies then call Sky as they are giving all customers half of the movies free for 2 months.
    You can't be lost if you don't know where you're going.

    Oh I really hope so ! Maybe I shouldn't have cancelled and just tried calling again to see if I got someone more amenable.
