Don't think that makes the slightest difference unfortunately.

It does according to Sky who told me that there are loyalty tiers which attract larger discounts.

Sky told you? Must be true then...

No, they were obviously just making up the tier names and years that they mentioned.....

A huge corporate monster making up marketing nonsense that means nothing? Surely some mistake...

Well, many corporate entities do have a perks tier system, well defined, and acknowledged, maybe you just haven't come across them?

This is what Sky defines as theirs:


Sky VIP membership tiers
Sky VIP Tier Length of membership
VIP Silver 0-3 years
VIP Gold 3-8 years
VIP Platinum 8-15 years
VIP Black 15+ years

As explained by various other bodies as well as Sky themselves.

And a dozen other sites with authority.

However, I am sure you know best!;)

I think at this point I have to ask, do you work for Sky :rotfl:

You've just posted Sky's marketing hype and a few links which are basically just advertising it for them.

Try looking at Sky's own forums to see what the chances of getting a "free" ticket to anything is.

Even one of the links you supplied puts it in perspective:

We'd also stress that even a good loyalty scheme is no substitute for a better deal. Providers are always competing with price cuts, free gifts and special offers, so you should regularly check to see if you can cut your bill or upgrade your service. A free ticket to the football's a nice thing to get, but we reckon saving £10+ a month is better.

Since my original point was that being a VIP member (anyone who has Sky regardless of length of service is a member BTW) does not open up any additional tiers of discount for TV/Mobile/BB charges do you think you could post any links to prove that? And not "Sky told me so" nonsense. It's okay, we'll all wait although given that you still haven't in 3 different posts I won't hold my breath.

:rotfl::T How very original! No, I don't work for Sky......

Anyway, I am out as they say! Nothing I could post will make any difference, because as I said previously, you clearly know better!

colin, Ive been offered free tickets to a couple of sports actually, really funny ones haha, a womens rugby league final and some british basketball match!!! I have to go into the ballot tho for all the good events, but I think happyandcontented is correct in terms of the longer you've been a customer the more discount you're likely to get, makes sense really

How sad that you used the same smilie as myself and yet seemed to totally miss mine...

I also note that you still fail to offer any proof other than Sky's marketing hype to back up your claims.

To a customer? Of course it does, to Sky? I'm not so sure.
