So after ditching sky for over 15 years I took out nowtv for 6 months sports package. The package ends on 3rd May. Next payment is 3rd April. 
I presume I am cancel after 3rd April payment has been taken and then continue until 3rd May. When I can I reinstate a new package. 
Are there any member who regularly stop and start such packages. When I was with sky we made changes within the cooling off period and it never got to the cut off date. Is it worth discussing new package with now directly or just easier stopping and starting a new one each time.

    April April 3 Just go to cancel through the online portal and you'll almost certainly get a new deal which you can accept..This will take effect from your next billing date.

    My late F-i-L used to do this (with a little help from me!)
    Go online and cancel and hey presto, a few days later a new offer appears!

    Before we started getting Sky sports with our TV package, we did the Now TV cancel dance quite regularly. You will normally go through a cycle of them offering a deal for you to continue straight away, then eventually there'll be no offer and the cancel goes through, then a new offer appears a week or so later. Always better to cancel earlier into your final month (4th/5th April for you) so if there's no immediate offer, you should get one before the month ends (if you want to continue).  They used to offer 12 month passes starting either in March for the F1, or August for the Football, not sure if they still do. These were usually best value.
