do you have to take all the packages to get this offer and is this only for new customers?

I'm assuming this deal is not available for current customers?

These kind of ones normally aren't.

No code on it or anything just a number to ring, like I said not addressed to me or anything. I doubt it's for current customers but if your out of contract and threaten to leave and re-join you'll probably get it.

Recently cancelled movies and HD - when I rang to cancel, the guy on the phone immediately offered the movies for half price (can't remember for how long) and last week someone rang to reoffer HD for half price for 6 months.
Ring them up and ask if any deals as you're thinking of leaving - if you're out of contract on any part of your deal, they should definitely give you something.

Signed up with them less than a month ago, and never got this offer. I wonder would they do anything for us?

I left them and rejoined through someone else under the mrs name to get a free extra box and a slightly reduced price for the same package

Since then I've recieved 2 or 3 letters offering me 1/2 price for
12 months to return..... Hope it's available in another 6 months or so
I was a direct debit customer for 10yrs +

Its usually only available to households that have received the letter,Sky have the mailing list on file,they know who has been sent the offer.
These half price deals are regularly sent out to ex customers.

True,they target certain customers,if you ring & pretend you got a letter they'll suss you out pretty quickly.My father gets them regularly as the account was originally in my name but he took over payments when I moved out but Sky didn't change the the subscription into his name,I had SkyWorld for years but he got me to remove Sports & Movies before I moved.They keep sending offers to take up the premium channels again but he's not interested.

Hi Farls,

Can you have a look at the other side of that letter / flyer and see what the installation and box costs are?

If you're out of your minimum contract with them ring them up to cancel. Tell them you have to cut back on spending or something and they should offer you some sort of discount to stay.

If they don't offer you an offer there and then tell them to proceed with the cancelation and see does someone call you over the next 28 days. If they don't just cancel the cancellation. I'd be surprised if they didn't offer you something. I done the same recently as I could get UPC in my new place.
