Got:50% for 12 months
New Sky+HD box with free delivery and fitting.
Inlaws are upgrading from failing white sky box and were initially told 40%, engineer inspection of box and then had to pay fees for box and installation - so went through cancellation process.0 -
Yes and then called everyday to see what deals they can give me, they are time specific so a deal one day may not be the same tomorrow.
Unless things have changed the deals don't change every day. I was once told what day it was. BT have a fixed deal changing day, as I know someone who worked in their call centre, at the time they were trying to increase the amount of UK based CS.0 -
Hi, my deal is ending soon and I'm wondering about upgrading to SkyQ. I have recently bought a UHD/4K TV, can you watch UHD/4K through normal sky HD or do you need to have SkyQ? Was offered Sky 1TB box + mini box for £12 extra a month with £70 installation for both boxes, I guess this is the standard offer? Can it be bettered? I currently pay £32 per month for everything in HD so my total would be £44 a month on an 18 month contract. Thanks0

It look as though Sky are adding loyalty bonuses at the end of your minimum term.
I notice that my first tv only payment after 12 months will have a 10% discount.....No chance of retaining me for that after having 75% off with £100 credit, but as I've mentioned elsewhere, it looks as though bundles now include fibre with landline or mobile,neither of which I can take, so cancelling tv for a better offer may be a thing of the past, if you don't wish to combine.0 -
This payment is probably a rounding up one and not a discount, next month will show the full price.
Which is what I can see on my account as my discount is ending in Nov.0 -
I have signed up to Sky Q today, I have the full package including the multiscreen for £52pm. It should have been £97, what a bargain.
Top tip, if you're still a Sky+HD customer, haggle the 50% off deal (or 60% if you're that lucky). Let that kick in, sign up to the Sky Q deal, which is only £12 extra.
My Sky+HD was £40pm (full package, plus box in another room)...
When I asked about Sky Q when I had cancelled I only got offered 10% off and that was the absolute best they could do.
BT is next on my list in November0 -
Called up today as my 12 month Sky Q deal ends next month.
I was immediately offered 50% discount, which took me by surprise given the experience others have detailed here. I pushed for more and then asked for a one-off credit, but didn't have any luck with either. I'd decided before calling that I'd settle for a minimum of 50% discount, so accepted on another 12 month minimum term.
There was no mention of the £10 retention fee, and on checking my future bills online I can see the fee has been charged and a £10 credit added.
I probably accepted too early, but given others here have had the offers reduced during the notice period, I decided to grab 50% while I could.0 -

I had the 60% offer one day and the next day only 40% it changes I suppose on call handler perhaps"It is prudent when shopping for something important, not to limit yourself to Pound land/Estate Agents"
