20% off Sky for existing customers

Just went into my account, clicked cancel Sky and 20% off for 10 months.

My work colleague just tried and he had the same offer.

You'd be better off actually letting it cancel, that's when you get the really good offers to entice you back. Within a month of cancelling my account Sky emailed me with the following offer:
- 75% off any TV package, and
- £100 credit on my account, and
- No contract.

Currently enjoying full TV package for about £22 a month.

colleague:
noun
a person with whom one works in a profession or business.

I have never quite understood why people now insert the word 'work' before 'colleague'.

I know but I don't want to cancel. For those who don't want to go through all the rigmarole of cancelling it's worth it.

Mate it takes five minutes to cancel.I cancelled last month. Not heard from SKY yet and frankly not bothered. Getting 20% off an already 'SKY' high price is not a good deal. I used to negotiate a 50% discount off the variety package for ten months but had to pay ful! price two months a year. This was still three times as expensive as Netflix which I get a lot more from. So I cancelled.

SKY are robbing barstewards so screw them for what you can.

Is it really necessary to insert 'quite' in there? And if if they only 'now' do it have you really 'never' understood it?

This is what I want to know.

Go to help & support. Cancel your Sky. Scroll to bottom. Still looking to cancel. Select your Sky package. Click reason and it should offer you money off.

Funnily enough, that's another one I pick up on. And let's not forget 'PIN number'.

That's a great deal but do they accept mother-in-laws?

I take it that you are just referring to Sky TV? I have Sky Broadband and a Sky landline, as well as Sky TV. I've just been on to do what you suggested and was directed to the telephone support number or the online chat facility. I could not just click on 'Cancel'.

Re: 20% off Sky for existing customers

Best go through to the Cancellation Dept if you are with BT for your broadband/BT TV too - in order to avoid the imminent price rises.

Go on chat and do it through there. It may take a while to get through. Well worth it.

Re: 20% off Sky for existing customers

I tried this but it only offered my 10% off and I would have to sign up to an 18 month term (currently on a 12 month contract). Possibly because I already have a 50% discount off on my account mind to be fair!

Re: 20% off Sky for existing customers

Slightly off topic, off the back of the news today that BT have extended UCL and Europa league exclusivity rights for a further 4 years (great for me as I work for BT so don't pay for it) does anyone know if Sky ever addressed this when they lost the rights in terms of lowering their Sky Sports cost? I highly suspect they didn't but surely they should do, given that behind the Premierleague the UCL was Sky Sports second biggest offering?

Come and join Utility warehouse. Get cheaper gas ele and broadband and then go back to Sky telling them you've left them for their broadband and they will bite your hand off to give you an offer😉

Re: 20% off Sky for existing customers

Just done this, got it down to £68 for 18 months from £100. First he offered £88 then £76 and finally £68 tried to get it to £63 but he wouldn't have it.
Lose F1 channel (never watch it, didn't know I even had it) and free evening and weekend calls (never use phone). £550 saving over the period, so well happy.
Been meaning to do it for a while so thanks Andy for spurring me on to do it.
