    There's a lot of people out there that would be damned glad of an offer like that.

    I called them on Sunday saying I saw offer of €20 for sports & movies for 6 months.
    I already had sports on a discounted offer & was paying the following.

    Variety
    HD
    Multi room
    Sports

    €78.50 pm

    Now I have the offer


    Variety
    HD
    Multi room
    Sports
    And Movies
    for €76.50 pm for 6 months.

    Happy days.

    Having said that my mate rang up after me and was told no offer if you already have sports. It all depends who you get on the other en end of the phone

    Had been on a deal which went up to 44 euro pm during the year frm around 30 euro starting off

    Variety
    HD
    Sky Go (6 euro extra incl in the 44)
    Movies.

    Rang the other day and was told that they couldn't offer me anything cheaper than my existing offer which was due to end. I give my notice and will be shut off on 2nd Jan. Will see if they offer a deal but I'm not tied to them and I don't watch much TV so I'm all a bit meh about continuing with them.

    Due to be cut off in 13 days after 15 years, I got no offers when I rang to cancel (last offer ran out mid Sept., 1/2 price variety and half price multi-room). Hopefully I get a call with some decent offer before kids disown me.

    (ps., do they show offers when you sign-in to your account on-line)

    I wouldn't hold my breath for a call, I'm going to be cut off on Monday so phoned today. Paying 38 for variety and they offered it for 29 for 6 months. Still not good enough so I'm going to hold out for something better.

    Sister was offered variety on my parents account for 14.95 for the year no contract. They are happy with what I setup for them for free instead so aren't taking it. An update for what Sky are offering none the less.

    I cancelled my CPW deal today, to be cancelled on 2nd January.
    Best I was offered was 10% discount on any package, so told them no.
    Signed up to the current CPW deal of 25% off, but might just cancel that as well if Sky are offering half price on the day of cancellation.

    I'll ring next week and say I had a voicemail offering half price packages and see if I can get that.

    Otherwise, I'll just go with CPW deal. €100 voucher for new phone could be handy.


    Signed up to that deal, would you know when would we receive the vouchers. Its been installed on Sunday was hoping to have the voucher for xmas

    Got a letter today offering me 50% off for 12 months if I return. Been gone now for about 4 months and this is the 2nd time I've been offered that deal by post.

    Has anyone who has been on a previous 50% off deal been offered another?
    When I called to see what deal was available he said "wait to I check if you have had a price freeze before" got the impression he could only offer 25% off because I had 50% off before.
    So 50% deals might be available to some but not all.

    Wait until the viewing is switched off then phone them , You will be offered 12 months half price for being a loyal customer ,
    I have been with them for about 8 years and on a half price deal for the last 5 years. Every year I let it run down then call them back ,
    I just got the latest deal last Monday Evening as my viewing was turned off last Sunday.

    So I spent €4 on a phone call w sky over a month ago, agreed to a deal for €42.50pm and turns out they're dipping my account for €78pm plus they never credited me €50 that they said they would

    They are accountable to no regulatory authorities for this theft

    My next call will be a proper cancellation

    They're not the only offering

    Just make sure that the €78 isn't your first payment because if you rejoined mid payment cycle then your first payment with be more than €42.

    Maybe ring them and ask why you were charged €78 or look at your account online?

    I had a billing query yesterday and pm'ed the sky reps here on boards, had a call back about 2 hours later and issue resolved. I was very impressed so maybe give them a shout.

    My point was that I spent >40 minutes plus >€4 on a phone call and that should have resolved the matter but no, they have (deliberately?) made a mistake that results in me being out of pocket almost €80 in 1 month plus the fact that I now have to initiate contact that will involve another + 30 minutes on the phone plus the cost of the charges for the phone call

    did they call you or you called them?
    I had Sky Sports for only 1 month & cancelled the Sports.. Could I get a call from them, I'd be happy to sign up if I got a deal on the Sports price.

    You're not really heeding the advice you were given here and instead of looking at resolving your issue you're just giving out more about it...I mean that in a nice way. :)

    Go to the Sky Talk To forum, post your query and ask for them to call you back. Alternatively you can PM Sky Reps directly with your name, account number and a phone number and ask for a call back. Simples!

    Let us know how you get on.

    You're really not listening, my point was my disappointment with their inability to execute that which was previously agreed over an extended period of time and some small resources

    I will engage via the boards rep and let you know

    With all due respect, is a thread about deals that Sky are giving to its customers really the place to be airing your grievances with the company?

    I doubt you are out of pocket
    It is usual to pay extra the first month because you always pay your bill in advance, however the first bill only comes after you have been set up........ So the first bill can be nearly double what it will be going forward

    However

    You won't find any answers by coming on here ranting and spouting crap without checking out the facts with Sky first because they are the only ones who can address your issues

    I read it all.

    Rather than contact sky to find out what was going on, you choose to come on here and rant and give out saying they were dipping your pockets and committing theft.

    If anyone steals of course they are accountable, but they were not stealing..... At worst it was a billing error, which they cannot fix if you don't talk to them about it :rolleyes:
