Sky 'new customer' ?

Options
Hello,

I am currently a tenant, about to move out of the rental property into my own house. I was with O2 broadband (BT landline) until last week when I was moved to Sky.

Now, in my new house I want to get Sky phone, broadband and TV but I was hoping to get a new customer's cashback.

How will that work for me though? Can I be deemed to be an existing customer only because of my name having an account, or is it OK as long as it refers to a new property?

Would it be better if i set it up in my gf's name? (current one is in my name only). We both live there anyway.

Thanks

    How many John Smith's do you think are signed up to Sky?
    New house = new customer.
    Set it up in both your names if you're worried.

    haha i guess you are right, although my surname seems to be quite unique (doesnt do me any favours unfortunately). Only one of me in the UK :)

    But i suppose that is not the point, as my name cannot be used to prove i am the same person. I think i will go for it and stop worrying

    If you use the same bank account I believe their systems pick it up. Probably best to sign up in your girlfriends name.

    Sign up in your girlfriend's name and you will get the cash back. Otherwise 6 months down the line your cash back will get rejected as they will say you were an existing customer.
