£150 off Virgin TV, line rental, calls & broadband

I just had Virgin installed yesterday when they were giving £65 cashback.

Can I cancel and sign up again. Seems too good an opportunity to miss out on a further £85

I'm about to move in with my boyfriend who already has the virgin deal (pretty sure he's gone over the contract period) and we are thinking of cancelling it to get a better one. He doesn't have a phone line set up yet so it would actually be best to stay with virgin. Would it be possible to cancel the deal (he does this) then sign up for it as a new customer with my name?

I noticed this yesterday too :beer:

I received a letter from virgin yesterday for a sky switcher deal which offers me a free V+ HD box and free installation. However, it is a phone only deal.

Do you think if I sign up online using the cashback site and then call customer services and apply the promo code to get free installation (saving me a further £49)

I know it is cheeky, but money is tight and would like to save as much as possible

I suppose this is for NEW CUSTOMERS ONLY

If you have come to the end of your contract, you can't just simply cancel and take out a new contract through Quidco?

I've been a Virgin customer for years, I'm in the process of moving away as broadband is so poor - after 6pm it is unuseable. Have reported this several times, customer service sucks.... they take around 48 hours to respond, generally quoting the wrong problem and have never resolved the problem despite me keeping on reminding them, they just really just couldn't be a*d.

Another thing to watch out for is that they will put up their prices then offer new customers special deals so you could end up paying way over the top. They will haggle though if you give them a call.

Shame the broadband is so bad... maybe it's just a local thing

Can I have some advice on the cashback sites. How long does it usually take for them to credit the money, and can this be withdrawn/transferred to my bank account without delay and fees etc.

Cheers.

GREAT OFFER

I'm already a Virgin Broadband customer... but i've just used Quidco to sign up for Phone and TV (the bundle for all 3)

Will I get the £150. It says it's only open to 'new customers' surely if I'm a new TV and new phone customer I qualify?

Can I challenge it if not? Who with Quidco or Virgin?

Thanks

I guess you wouldnt qualify as your an existing customer signing up for additional services.

Arg! I have literally just signed up for Virgin a few days ago, but I still need to pay the £49 installation charge before continuing. Is it possible to cancel the installation and then re-sign up for this? It's a crazy amount of money to take off the year's bill.

£49 sounds like the HD box fee.... that still stands

installation is £30

I'll still argue my case. The TV is new as is a virgin phoneline.

Worth a try as a diehard Moneysaver.

Anyone else in this situation? Would love to know how you get on as well?
