I also pushed massively for account credit, but got nowhere. Was suprised at this to be honest.
60% seems to be all they offer by scouring this forum, bar a few lucky people who must catch the team on a sunny day!

You didn't let the cancellation actually take place and you contacted them.

The best deals are offered to those who cancel and mean it.

Too late now, but you should have been prepared to let the TV go off if you wanted account credit etc.

would it have been an immediate offer? if so ill remember next time, although there are reports of lesser offers coming in once actually disconnected. The bit I am suprised by is no offers on multiroom.
also as I can cancel at anytime, i will keep an eye on this and maybe do it all again in a month or two when I have more spare time!
Thanks for advice Moneyineptitude

I let mine cancel (TV went off on Monday) ... but the best they would give me was 60% and NO account credit! My goodness I tried and tried - but got nowhere!

I've decided to just live with Free channels in the interim until the better offers come along!

Another update, on Broadband phone and calls deal I've secured.

Got line rental for £8.70, BB unlimited(Fibre) for £12.50 and £8 anytime calls, plus £75 credit applied.(started at £50 but I pushed for 100, settled at 75)

Works out at £22.95 a month which is almost as good as the best BT deal i could find, so quite happy.

That's only three days ago. They have to believe you've cancelled and mean it. I'm also assuming you contacted them rather than the reverse?

Yep - it was me who contacted them! Just following the advice from HotUKDeals!

No sweat - I can wait!

Thanks MSE, haggled with Sky on renewal deal (politely) and saved 30% package for TV, phone and broadband. Down from £52.40 to £34.50

You could have done a lot better ,so don't appear to have read relevant threads on here.
