Ordered sky today and just got 1/2 price code...help!

After spending 2 days looking at diffrent providers I decided to go with sky.
I have gone for basic package plus 2 extras and so I didnt have to pay for the box I added on movies which I was told I could remove after a month...although I had to pay installation grrrr
In effect I paid £30 for installation £28 for the first month and £20 after i remove the movies package.
I ordered this afternoon and asked what deals they could do (none)and have just found online a 12 month half price code!!Im gutted!
my question is would I be able to cancel what I ordered today and reorder using the code....or call them and ask if they will apply the code to my account.
I can get most channels,extra box upstairs etc for less than iv just signed up for AND free installation.
thanks in advance

    There is a cooling off period & the details here might be of interest http://www.avforums.com/forums/sky-hd-sky-3d/500850-sky-hd-cooling-off-period-has-changed.html
  • UPDATE...
    I called sky this morning have been passed round all departments.....at first the bloke said they would let me remove the movie package hmmmm not really the point!At last I spoke to someone that told me the department I need have a 20 min wait but gave me the direct dial and told me to tell them I have a code that has not been applied and they SHOULD put the half price offer on my account and refund the installation fee.
    Ill post the update later

    What was the offer? The links doesn't seem to work!!
  • 1/2 price sky for 12 months,inc free hd box and installation.
    not sure but may be for new customers only have a peep
    you need to copy and paste the code then when it directs you to the sky site click on home and then quick buy...then it asks for a code just paste in there and that seems to do the trick.
    let me know how you get on.
    sky set me up a new account this afternoon on the half price offer:jbut i have to phone through myself to cancel the other account and its been a nightmare getting through.ill try again in the mornin

    let me know how you get on

    I didnt make a note of the code did anybody else that could give it to a27
