Yes I know the offer is 50% for 12 months. However what I was asking if it also tied you into a contract for 12 months. My present offer was 50% off for 12 months but I could have left at any time just by giving 31 days notice.

Sorry, don't know, the email just says:

'Thank you for deciding to stay with Sky. We have now processed your order to keep your existing Sky TV Bundle with 50% off for the next 12 months.'

Thanks

When you say "signed in" Do you mean you went to sky.com and then MYSKY and then saw the offer?

I clicked on My Sky, the sign in screen appeared, I signed in and the offer was there.

That's the number they would usually phone unless you have told them otherwise.

Started a live chat to cancel, was then given a call.
Offered 15% off, refused, offered 25% off, refused.
Cancellation was processed for 31 days time.


Checked account online the next day and the 50% offer was visible so I've taken it.

i was in the same boat as you lot, got offered 25%, cancelled even though was on the phone for over 45 mins answering tedious questions

35% on the sky service app

Soon as you log onto sky.com, theres the 50% off deal, but if you read the terms it DOES tie you into a new 12 month contract, Also that is only off on packages not multi-room etc..

skys due to switch off at the end of the month, will wait for a bit extra

Has anyone managed to get the 50% recently? My app only showing 35% and on interactive too. Was on chat trying to negotiate but he couldn't authorise the 35% discount said I had to call the number offered on the app to do so. Cancelled on Sunday so will end next month.

You aren't missing much. They got through to me last night to discuss my cancellation and the best the person could offer would have been £6 a month more that what I'm paying now and £36 more than sky

I politely told them where to go

I'm looking to phone Virgin and cancel the BB and phone package I currently have but do all 'BT line' providers charge a reconnection fee?

I phoned today to cancel and got 50% off without any hassle, she threw in a £15 credit as well.
I was happy with the price, we had a really nice chat as well
