Deals On Sky TV Service - (Mostly Cancellation deals)

Guys, is 35% off the max they anyone has gotten these days?
I cancelled and see an offer of 35% off on my account - wondering should I just go for it or hold on and see.

Also, I am on the old Variety Package (no longer exists apparently) - does anyone know what the difference between the Variety and Entertainment + kids package is?? .. Do you lost the documentaries or is that attomatic on it?

quick question re sports extra pack

currently there is an offer of all sports channels for €30 pm for six months. Do i have to keep the offer for the six months or can i give my 30 days notice after say 4 months?

Its really to do with watching the champions cup rugby from next weekend on BT - with fixture in nov, dec and jan i want to cancel in jan and then get it in again for april/may- is this possible if you are on a six months offer? Thanks in advance

Why are people still paying for SKY? Realy and truly.

Get a free sat box, Netflix or amazon prime or later in 2020 disney+ .

It's like shopping in Aldi Or Lidl! you will buy it but do you really need it?

You're never tied into anything more than 30 days with sports. If you cancel before the 6 months, that's fine...

I attempted to cancel my Sky today, price was going from €50 to €95 a month for TV and Broadband as I had reached the end of my 12 month offer. Told them I was going to get cheaper BB elsewhere and freesat. Was passed onto the cancellation team and immediately offered the 'win back offer', 35% off! I knew it was the best I could get going by this thread so decided to go for it

Did you get 12 months again? about to cancel soon

Am off contract with Sky +. Would like to get SkyQ but wondering if anyone has got a discount and an upgrade to SkyQ at the same time?

I rang to Cancel my €96 a month account. Dropped the hint that was interested in Sky Q. After getting some 50% off deals for 6 months I ended up at €86 for a 2GB Sky Q box + the Mini Box as well. Had to pay €25 installation fee there and then by Debit Card.

I have to set a reminder every 6 months to ring them to haggle the 6 months discount thing again to keep at the €86. (I have Sports, Movies and HD)

Yep, 12 months

All you need to know here.

Best offers are once the service is cut off. If you try to cancel they might offer you 20 euro off or something. If you say no they might offer you 35% off the base package. If you say no and it’s actually set to cancel you will have a 35% offer in your app or if you ring up. If you actually let it get cut off and call and hour after it’s gone you will get a Returning customer offer usually 40% off base package. Returning customer offer is from when it’s actually cut off up to 1 year after it’s cut off. I’ve literally rang an hour after it was cut off and got it.

While setting it to Cancel I was offered 35% as stated above. I was specifically told there are no more winback or returning customer offers. That’s what they refer to them as. I laughed at her and said ok set it to cancel.

Rang up an hour after after it was cut off and lord behold 40% off.

They are vermin. If I wasn’t in a house share I wouldn’t bother. I get 40% off and then get to split the remainder of the bill in half so I tolerate them.


I got rid of the movies too as I can stream everything they offer and much more for free. Not worth paying for them anymore. The older sky box I have can only play movies in 1080i while the free streams are actually in 4K and turnout much clearer than the sky box haha.

They will be in serious trouble in a few years when more and more people start voting with their feet.

‘Moral of the story. Hold off let it get cut off. You will get at least what you were offered when it was set to cancel and in my case I have always gotten more as a winback or returning customer.

They will lie through their teeth to you to scare you into taking less of an offer. F*ck them!

Sorry if this has been asked before but my contract is usually up at the start of December and the last few years i've rang in November and got the usual 35% discount on my sky package on my account a couple of weeks before the 30 days cancellation period ends but this year in August i added the sky extra(bt sports and premier sports)to my account.Is my whole sky package now contracted till next August?

Nope your contact ends when it ends. Them channels are only extras. They do not create a new 12 month contract. Once within 31 days of it ending call them and say cancel the lot.

If you took the €20 for 6 months offer, then you were put on a 12 month contract, so yes, you'd be contracted until next August.


If you took the €34 per month option, then you didn't enter a new contract.

AFAIK the 12 month contract is only for the entertainment package. The sports offer can be cancelled at any time.

Yes, that’s correct (with the usual 31 days notice).

Although you wouldn’t be able to request a complete cancellation (and receive subsequent discount offer) until the 12 month period was up.

When you cancel, what page of the sky website gives you return offers?

There's a tab for offers. If you're a current customer it usually has offers on sports or cinema...

When you eventually get 35/40% off will it be off the Sports and Movies as well as the basic package? I know you don't get it off multi-room and HD.
Thanks

You'll get the discount on what ever your base package is, plus movies & sports if you have them.

Went to cancel my telly earlier and got from 81 down to 69. I said I have to think about it so I’ll push a bit more tomorrow!
