    OK...I've just tried to do this again to check I can. this time I used my daughters name, my other e mail address, put an (a) after the house number and used my work telelphone number (has to be a landline).Probably didn't have to do all that cause I think it is just based on your telephone number. It definately gives you a free package and a booking date.
    Please let me know if anyone has any success/failure with this. Might need to hide the existing system when they come to install!!!!;)

    Which number did you use to call? I called 08708 501 907 a few times but no luck to get quidco or free sky+ box offer. Thanks

    After a few phone call I finally got the deal I wanted.
    Sky+: £49 with free installation
    60 pounds to my account (50quidco+10sky)
    First 2 month free so I chose all channels and will downgrade afterwards
    Installation on this Saturday

    I can't seem to order the Sky+ system without having to order the Sky system. Can't advance past page 1 on the website without going for a package of some kind.

    Any ideas?
  • im a little confused as exactly what is on offer?

    does this deal mean £50 is debited to my sky account? (coz i dont use quidco)
    when can i apply for the broadband offer?

    can i ask them to give me 6 months half price subscription, as thats whats been offered before!!... i.e the cdwow offer
    everywhere else sky sports or sky movies is being offered free for 6 months... is that the same here too???

    Am confused

    The cheapest I can get online via quidco is choosing either Sky for free, or the Sky+ box at 99 with £60 installation.

    How did you do anything differently?

    I called the same number on the amex page. I think it's a call centre in scotland. I feel dificult to follow what they said.
    It all depends on who you talk to I guess. Some are very tough and I just hang up and dial again. In the end I reach someone agreed all that I said.

    I tried the quidco method but always stuck at the card details step. Their is no amex option. Sky preserved all my details even I havne't finished the online order process.

    I suspect savings4less is just ordering a normal sky box and package. the Sky+ on the sky website is def NOT free.
