Sky Offer

[Champ]

He's been home a couple of days now, back down to earth and looking to be helpful around the house...

 

Me I'll tell you what you could do

 

Him I don't like the sound of this

 

Me Well you might not but what about ringing Sky and seeing if you can renegotiate our package. They've been advertising some great deals on the tv

 

Him But that's just for new customers..

 

Me How much do you think we're paying them? Over £1000 a year

 

Him I thought it was about 40quid. And I'll say that I'm thinking of moving to Virgin

 

Me Yeah that's a good idea

 

Him Well, I'll just go and sort this thing I've got to do and then I'll ring them

 

Watch this space!...............

I was amazed he did it at all. He had to do all this research until he'd convinced himself what he should do. I just kept quiet. There's money to be saved here

Rang them yesterday to cancel and they offered me six months half price, bit of a life saver really as my car insurance has spiked for six months so this makes up for that.

And that was your first call? You did well

Loyal customer, my request was sincere and I told them (wasn't a lie although they wouldn't know that) that I have no problem with their service but my financial situation has changed.

Same. I'm guessing that the person we got didnt have any room for manoeuvre on their monthly targets. Based on others' experiences I have to remain confident at this stage

They will probably wait until towards the end of the month when they need to hit targets and are below them.

They called us 3 days before the month's notice was up.

If they offer you 6 months half price ask for 12. If they say no tell them you'll need to think about it, let them come back to you.

Is that what you did?

[Gym Beglin]

Just phoned them, my monthly bt and sky bill of £84.35 (without sports) to £67.38 with sports and films, and phone and internet provided by Sky with new broadband hub.

[lifetime fan]

Is that what you did?

 

 

No. I got offered the 12 months straight away.

 

They have the authority to give 12 months but some will try and fob you off with 6. There's a long thread about this on MSE with advice and prompts for what to say at each stage.

Not a chance we'll get offered 12 months straight away....this is Scotland

 

MSE. Had to think about that for a moment. Whatever happened to BSE, though? We were all going to die of that not so long ago

Sorry. I got it straightaway...just hadn't seen it written like that before...hence the comment. It's probably one of the first sites I go to if I'm looking for info/advice re better deals for stuff

Based on this thread I got my mum to phone up and cancel their subscription. She wasn't offered anything over the phone, and two and a bit weeks later has yet to have a call. She has, however, been emailed a questionnaire asking her for her reasons for cancelling. Has everyone else been sent this? I really want this to work, as much for the fact that my brother thinks I'm talking out of my arse as saving her money.

Its all about being patient.

They may have hit their targets for this month but who knows.

 

There will be nothing worse if she resubscribes at full whack and then they start sending offers out again.

 

Fill in the questionnaire and see if it helps speed things up.

Just wait and they will come back to you I promise.

I had it and replied ensuring that wherever I could put us leaving down to cost etc I did.

 

Would recommend doing the survey.
