hi am currently paying 41.50 a month for sky, phoned them today and they offered me 20% off to 31.00 for 9 months what do others think about this should I be able t get a better deal ?

For those of you looking for a 50% off Sky code, there is currently 50% off for 6 months with £194.25 cashback on complete bundle.

I'm looking for TV only, possibly Complete bundle too.

It works out like this:

Usual annual cost = £807

OR

some odd discount slightly less than 50% for 6 months (£36.25) = £217.50

plus full price for 6 months = £403.50

Total £621 Minus £194.25 cashback = £426.75
Which works out at ~ £35.56

Which is actually less than the 50% deal because it's not 50% - it's just over 47%

I'm trying to get the above deal (half price for 6 months plus the cashback) and was wondering if its possible to also use the recommend a friend code to get my mum and I free vouchers? It doesn't seem to let me do both?

No you can't get vouchers with offers.

It does say 'Not available with any other offers' in the legal details section, at the bottom of the Introduce a Friend FAQs page.

Where can I find this 50% off deal please?

Could anyone kindly suggest how I could attempt to prolong the current offer? Was thinking about contacting Sky to cancel the whole lot or should I retain a minimum package to avoid another contract. It is a hope I may receive contact from Sky retentions. Package is HD/3D, Sports, Movies, Entertainment Extra, Unlimited BB and weekend calls.

Thanks.

You'll have to contact Sky directly. Any extension to such an offer is obviously discretionary.

Thanks for the reply. I understand it discretionary. However would it be best to cancel the whole lot or to retain a minimum package to avoid another contract in the event Sky do not offer another discount.

Again, only Sky can answer this. There is certainly no point retaining a minimum package as then you'll definitely get no offers.
They may just allow you to cancel, they may not. It's not an exact science...
