    We had that rate for 6 months when I called last year and its just come to an end so I phoned again a few days ago and they offered nothing! I think its because our offer has only just ended and like you we don't have movies so maybe next xmas we'll go the whole hog for Dec then cancel and see what they offer ;).
    Currently have sky sports 1 + 2 pending cancellation 6 Feb (31 days notice) so may call them again and see what they offer.

    I was a bit nervous on the phone and didnt push the discount further or mention Virgin or BT was just greatful for the 8.50 off.
    This may seem a bit cheeky, but I was thinking of phoning again tomorrow saying after yest phonecall Id researched competitors and quote Virgin offer and see what they can do for me, maybe up to 50% this time? I hope this doesnt seem overly cheeky.

    Whoa result! Just phoned SKY and got a reduction of my movie package from £37.50 a month down to £19.75.

    Very pleased and I did give a bit of a sob story, but all of it true :j

    When did i stop being able to fit Hoola-Hoops over my fingers? :huh::think:
  • I made the mistake of selecting the "change your package" option but having given my sob story to the lovely lady on the phone, she transferred me to the cancellations guy and told me to tell him I was planning to cancel my sky subscription so he could make me an offer - only the cancellations people have access to the good offers apparently! I was also offered half price sky subscription for six months! Yay!! Money saved for more "bargains" on this wonderful forum!

    It's called a retention offer, yaaaawwwn. There's been topics about it for years.

    You are marvellous and by far the most non-controversial poster on MSE. I thank you for being, basically, you.
