Is the offer only available for sky customers?

Murt10 · 03-12-2013 10:29am

No joy for UPC users.

The link just refers you to the normal page. No special offers

duffman21 · 03-12-2013 10:32am

seems like a no brainer

bennyc · 03-12-2013 10:35am

You may need to cancel straight away if there is 30 days notice to be given

vicM · 03-12-2013 10:39am

Good find..Just subscribed

RegisteredMice · 03-12-2013 10:42am

The fact that you will need at least 30 days cancellation notice means you will go into January … which in turn means you end up paying for that month. €16.99.
Not a bad BA, but just something to bear in mind.

kaltz · 03-12-2013 10:42am

This is from their t&c's

Can I get Setanta Sports for just one month?

We offer our customers a minimum subscription term of two months and we won’t tie you in to a contract for a year. You may cancel your subscription any time after the first ten days of your initial subscription by providing us with 30 days notice which will take effect 30 days after your next billing date.

stooge · 03-12-2013 10:43am

"Please note: Minimum 2 month subscription applies. "

So that would be 1E + 19.99E = 20.99E for 2 months

10.49E per month

Better off just saying get Setanta half price for two months

vicM · 03-12-2013 10:50am

But havent they tied themselves buy saying 'try for a month'

I should have read that myself before posting the alert , but it is a bit misleading on the main subscription page that it doesnt mention any T&C or minimum contract , I might give them a call later.

Let me know how you get on. If you can get it just for a month I'll sign up.

markfla · 03-12-2013 11:09am

ffs what a typo to make on their site
"Subscribe now and get the Setanta Sports Pack for €199 per year. That’s 10 months for the price of 12 and there’s no connection fee!"

Surely it's 12 months for the price of 10?

vicM · 03-12-2013 11:10am

OK..Called Customer care as the signal hadnt come through for me. She said I need to call before January 1st and they will cancel it immediately.
Can someone else call and verify this

Perkins135 · 03-12-2013 11:17am

I was told the same thing.
Wasn't the clearest or most helpful on the phone but at least somebody else called too so i'm gonna sign up.
I wonder will be customer service lines be open on 31st December to take all the cancellation calls?

cson · 03-12-2013 11:17am

**** them anyway making it look like UPC are in on the offer. :mad:

xabi · 03-12-2013 11:21am

So if i call them today and sign up and call back to cancel on 29th December it costs €1 and not a cent more? correct?

Perkins135 · 03-12-2013 11:23am

That's the gist of what i got. Like I said. You know what these customer service people are like.

I think she said. The day you call to cancel it will cut off straight away. If you don't cancel by 31st December it will go automatically to a 2 month contract and you will have to pay the full price.

Perkins135 · 03-12-2013 11:25am

Feck i went to subscribe online and just remembered I have multiroom and 2 viewing card nos. Not at home so don't know which no. I have on my sky account online is which .. Do you think it would apply to both viewing cards or best to wait until I can check which card is which?

Call them prior to Christmas and I imagine you still have the service till the 31st.

I would concur with the other people who rang , ring before end of month and cancel and you will only pay €1
But sounds like if you dont cancel, you would then end up with a new 2 month min contract for from Jan 1 , and then tied into the next 2 months ,at least that is what I took from the call.

Perkins135 · 03-12-2013 11:29am

I don't think so KN. I'm pretty sure she said, it will be cut off the day you call.

xabi · 03-12-2013 11:36am

I also called and they confirmed that it will be cut-off while you're on the call to cancel, happy days, thanks OP.

EuskalHerria · 03-12-2013 11:36am

Just rang customer care a moment ago. Was told essentially what everyone else was. This would continue as a subscription package as normal. However if you ring anytime before the end of December, then they will cancel your subscription and cut off the channels there and then.

A very good deal. Will be handy for the huge UFC card at the end of the month at least. Thanks OP.

How can they do that for an offer where you paid for the month?

EuskalHerria · 03-12-2013 11:47am

It's actually well explained on the page after entering your viewing card number.

A Law · 03-12-2013 11:53am

Can you just use your Jiayu G2s to make he call. Funny that.

Cantona's Collars · 03-12-2013 1:09pm

Telling some of my mates about this offer,it's like trying to explain it to a 4 year old with some of 'em.

The offer only applies to 1 satellite box.

However you can subscribe to multi-room for an extra €2.99 per month per additional box. This must be done by phoning our call centre on 0818203040

When signing up, simply provide the viewing card number for the box you wish to add the Setanta Pack to.

All you will need is your 9 digit viewing card number. To find your viewing card number, simply follow the below instructions:

Standard Sky boxes and Sky+ boxes: Press Services on the remote control then select option 4 then option 5
Sky + HD boxes: Press Services on the remote control then press 3 then 0. Your 9 digit viewing card number will now be displayed.

I'm afraid not as the minimum contract is 2 months. The only exception being this month as the €1 offer is in place.

I've signed up, have to say it's a help having Niall here from Setanta as I'd have been wary of signing up had he not explained re the cancellation process in clear terms.

Great bargain alert.
