    Sky is so easy to haggle with, Just go to the department for leaving and they will give you the best deal. I had a letter saying my plan was going up £2 from £13 to £15 i had 6 months left so i rang to leave. They put £34 credit on my account if i stayed for the remaining 6 months.

  • From previous haggling with AA - I got Relay for free.

    Notice price had gone up £20 on renewal so I decided to haggle again - I was offered and accepted 2 months free from so are now paying 10 months or 16% off. I didn't think I was going to be successful.
