Sky Sports - when do they stop making offers?

Our Sky Sports package through Now TV is about to increase to £34.99. They are offering £30.99. How do I shake them lower? If I hit 'continue cancellation' is that final cancellation and, as the screen says, the £30.99 offer disappears... or does it take me to a new "one last discount offer before you go..." screen?

    I would Keep Membership for now.  The new deal runs from 28 June so you still have time.
    To get a better deal you need to speak with a human over the phone.  Have in mind what deal you'd be happy with.  NowTV are offering a 25% discount for 6 months.

    I've never spoken to anyone at NOW and I'm on £19.99 a month for sport and my 12 month cancel anytime contract ends in August, when the time comes if they don't offer somewhere near that price I will ditch it (within the last year I have had Cinema (£2.99 and £3.99 a month) and Entertainment (£3.99 a month) both on cancel anytime contracts, they now seem determined to make users sign up for minimum 6 month contracts at even higher prices (C at £4.99 and E £6.99). ( not really a football fan but they have offers in the past to go with the start of the football season)

    I was on the same as you, due to expire this month.  I went onto the website to cancel and continued wanting to cancel right to the very end - and then they offered me another six months at £17.99 - £2pm cheaper than I had been paying.  I accepted.

    I had a couple of months left at £19.99 but went to cancel anyway (IPL etc is done) and during cancellation they also offered me £17.99 for 6 months (still cancelled) - took up Entertainment at full price (£9.99), went to cancel immediately to see what they might offer and it was 6 months at £5 a month which is £1.99 a month less than the 6 month offer usually on the website (still cancelled).

    Cancel. Should be getting it for about £20 a month. Be prepared to cancel completely, then wait for them to offer a new price. I get email offers from Now TV every few months for around £20 to £25 , so over £30 is too high. I actually get my sports through VM now, and it cost less than £20 to add it onto my bundle, so £30 is taking the mick.
