    Do you also have multiroom broadband and phone?
    No I don't we just have the top HD TV package.
  • You need to say you're going to cancel - don't "ask" for a discount or they'll know you aren't leaving. Tell them you've leaving because you've had a better offer from BT/Virgin etc, and they'll offer 50% off the TV subscription. One of the advisors said to me they can only offer one offer PER CALL (she made a point of the "per call" bit a few times because I was really pushing for me)

    So get the 6 onths off, then call again and get the deals on the HD/phone/BB stuff. DO NOT AGREE TO ANYTHING THAT COSTS YOU MONEY OR TIES YOU INTO A LONGER CONTRACT.
  • Have managed to find out what credits they can put on peoples accounts. They can only apply ONE of these credits on 1 call:

    50% Sky TV for 6 months
    25% Sky TV for 12 months
    £12.50 Sky Connect Broadband for 6 months
    £20 credit off your bill.

    Went for the 50% Sky TV offer. Happy days, has saved us atleast £60.
    Mortgage as Sept 2012: £96,000
    Mortgage free: When i'm 39 / Sept 2023

    Mortgage repayment = £588

    I got a free HD Sky Plus box and free installation, plus broadband down from £10 to £7.50 (which ties me in to a 12 month contract) and 25% off my bill for a year (they seemed to think it was slightly better value than 50% off for 6 months).
  • Had a 6 month half price offer that ended early December, phoned today (to "threaten to quit";) and as +box is playing up) and without hesitation I was given the following two offers:
    A) Free HD Box, free install, 12 months 25% discount on TV package, but would have to pay 12 months HD subscription at full price.
    or
    B) 6 months half price and free engineer visit to 'sort' +box or most likely replace with a new HD Box (without HD subscription).

    A was a good deal, but not too bothered about having HD channels, and it would have cost more than paying now, so offer B accepted. Engineer visiting Tuesday :j.

    Saving over next 6 months £73.50:D

    Good luck everybody, hope you get what you want.

    You won't get a new box - you will get a reconditioned box. I have had 4 so far, none of which have worked for long.

    I rang this week and got 6 months half price tv, free HD box and installation, plus 6 months half price HD subscription too.

    I pestered for 12 months half price but didn't get it anyways, very pleased, has saved us nearly £200 - we're paying £60 per month package incl multiroom.

    Thanks again OP.


    Happy moneysaving all.

    the 25% off for a year is same value as the 50% off for 6 months it just means its spread over the year.
    The guy i spoke to pointed this out and said it depends how skint i was just now! i have still to phone back and sort something out :o
    would love to win an ipad!

  • I was offered the 6 months half price TV but the advisor said it automatically comes with a 12 month contract, which is standard. How have others tried to get the contract element waived during the call so the offer becomes 6 months half price with no tie-in thereafter?
