Sky Offer For Existing Customers

Those nice people at Sky sent me a leaflet at the back end of last week offering me a half price upgrade to Sky Movies and Sky Sports for 3 months. I'm on the 3 mix £21 a month package and with my two little ones don't get to sit down long enough to watch any films but thought I'd chance my arm on half price Sky Sports only for 3 months.

Rang the number and asked the chappie (not long to wait either) whether this was possible and he explained that the offer was for the Sky World package (i.e. everything). He rattled away on his keyboard for a couple of minutes and then came back and offered me a £10.50 credit on my account to balance out for half price Sport only.

This effectively means I'm paying £29 a month for the next 3 months and I'm getting Sports AND Movies - bargain !!!

At last I can catch up on the American Football :j :j :j

    if they say no you can't have it because the letter is not on your account, ask to speak to their supervisor and they will let you have it

    I'm on the verge of cancelling. I've got the Sky+ full package and it's setting me back about £43 a month!

    The Sky+ hardware is so good it's that in itself that i'd miss. It might just be cheaper for me to get a DVD HDD recorder though.

  • Sky + is great. It has been getting a lot of stick on Watchdog but if it works it is one of the best things out. We couldn't be without it now.
