MSE Poll: Have you haggled with Sky, BT, the AA or any other companies this year? Did you succeed?

Poll started 23 November 2021

Haggling can result in big savings – on anything from digital TV and broadband to credit cards, breakdown cover and insurance. Each year we try to gauge the success rates of those who have done it. So whether you've gained cheaper prices, extra goods, better deals or reduced interest, please let us know how successful you've been in this week's poll.
