Sky TV retention deals ( post your haggling successes )

Yeah I did, took a while to get the package (kind of) I wanted but being persistent was key, I kept pushing for £45, and eventually I got it. You 'should' get the best offer you've had yet. Let us know how you get on.newdriver101 said:
MisterSaxon: Did you let your contract cancel completely for a day? I have let mine cancel as of today. I plan to call tomorrow to see if I can get a decent offer... (or at least better than I was offered pre-cancellation)Mister_Saxon said:
Just for future reference, my account was in a 'Pre-active status' and it took nearly a month to get my package etc confirmed, this meant I had no access to Sky Go, Paramount+, Netflix etc. I had to get Sky Q technical to sort it which in turn meant I missed out on a month of Netflix (Couldn't get this month back apparently) and I didn't realise Sky HD was not activated. After I initiated Sky chat I managed to get Sky HD applied to my account for no cost for the length of my contract - which I thought was good of them.Mister_Saxon said:
After a 2 phone calls with Sky (overseas call centre) I have managed to get the below deal:Mister_Saxon said:Hi, so I have given notice to terminate my Sky Q package after 10 years. It’s set to cancel on 4th September.
My current package is:
· Sky Signature
· Sky Sports
· Sky Cinema
· HD/UHD
· Multiscreen
Price set to increase to £107.50! Hence the cancellation. Ideally, I would like to keep the same package and my Netflix deal has now ended so would like to add standard or premium to my deal as I have read about peoples successes adding these to their packages. Do you think I could get a better deal than the £59 they are offering with Netflix (with ads)? I was going to give them an opportunity to keep me as customer in my last week of cancellation, but I have read letting it cancel for the day is the best way to get a better deal. Any help would be appreciated.
· Sky Signature £24
· Sky Sports £6
· Sky Cinema £7
· HD/UHD £2
· Multiscreen £6
· Netflix with ads free for 4 months then £4.50
Persistence was the key factor, I must of been on the phone for over 40 minutes across the 2 calls, they constantly kept saying higher prices were the best deal, offering Sky stream which I flat rejected. When I spoke to the first person they said they were having technical issues, so someone else would phone me back. The second person just offered me the £45 I was asking for. Very happy with that deal and it proves it is still possible with a bit of will power, and determination.2 -
I've now had the email "New offers in your account" for when my current deal ends in early Dec. The offers are for 12 months ,no contract , £20 pm discount from "list" prices ,but £10 pm more than current deal.
Email goes on to say "Relax, nothing for you to do -offers added automatically" - No ,don't think so Sky - cancellation phone call coming early November0 -
I am approaching the annual dance. Current discounts for TV total £49.50. They emailed me with out of contract rolling discounts which total £43.50 for at least another year by the looks of things. What this certainly does is give a much firmer negotiating point.
