    T&C's say you'll get the M&S vouchers 45 days after installation.
    It would be an idea to keep this thread in mind if you do receive the vouchers from this offer so others can get onto Sky if theirs doesn't arrive.

    Have you got any documentation from Sky which confirms the Best Buy offer that we have used?

    My service is due to be installed on this Saturday. So far, I have got the sky card (with accoutn no) and standard T&C. Nowhere, there is a mention of best buy offer and the details of my monthly payments. How do I know for sure that the details stated while making the booking will be true in future?

    It was quite clear during the sign-up process when I did it for my parents. Before checkout it clearly show the offers of 1/2 price package, free HD sub for 12 months, free install, free HD box etc.
    I took a screenshot of that for reference.
  • Anyone able to cancel their already current service and successfully sign up to this?

    It did say that for me, but I didnt save that page. Phoned sky (on their expensive 0844 number) and got it confirmed that I do have the best buy package.

    Got the sky installed today. The only sad part is if I change the subscription which changes the price plan (rt now I have taken two packages), the best buy offer will be invalidated :(. This is what the customer service guy told me. Any one had any different experience?

    Thats what i was told as well. I signed up for all the channels apart from the movies for £20.50 per month so happy with that - and i shouldnt need to change it. Im getting mine installed wednesday and phoned the cs number when i recieved the card and the cs guy confirmed the bestbuy deal. It would be a really good idea if they just put in a wee slip of paper with what you've signed up for and a monthly payment, people still like some written confirmation :cool:
  • I have just been to the Best Buy site and it says that this offer is in store only and I live just outside of Newcastle.

    Anybody know if this offer is still working by calling the number??

    I just got a mail from sky confirming my paymen details. Despite the sky Cust. Care telling me that i have the bestbuy offer on my account, their email suggests otherwise. I think it's best to have somehing in writing from sky. I am going to call them today to demand a written confirmation if the same.

    Anyone else had the same experienc?
  • You can ask sky if they will install the line for you. This is what my friend did and he only had to pay the £25 over the phone for the installation, much cheaper than BT, plus free broadband.

    Everything was done over the phone and it will all be installed on the 28th.
