Existing customers
Hi all,
Before i get slatted, i'm not trying to get something for nothing, i'm just getting annoyed at paying full price when there are discounts out there
I've recently downgraded my package to reduce costs and now only have the entertainment package.
I've seen a load of 12mth half price offers for new customers, but just wondered what to expect as an existing customer. I'd be sticking with the entertainment package only. I also have my phone and internet with sky as well
Thanks in advance

the point to look for any deals would have been when you downgraded.
And few months ago I cancelled all TV with them but kept the Broadband. Yes I have had some half price offered but as I cancelled it because I wasn't watching it and couldn't afford it, I won't be going back.
The good thing is that as I'm not getting any TV with them, my broadband should have gone back up to £10, however, so far it's still at the TV inclusive price of £7.50. I won't be telling them about their error.
If you go to the Top Cashback website then there are lots of offers there for existing customers,
it is well worth a look at least www.topcashback.co.uk

I thought that mite be the case. When i cancelled the other bits, the offers didnt suit me. I didnt watch these channels, so to pay more than the basic package to have these didnt seem worthwhile.
Will give them a call and see wot they say
Cheers, we've only got the light broadband as dont use the internet enough to justify paying extra for unlimited
Will check this out.
Thanks for all the replies
I cancelled my EE subscription back in September this year.
Since then I've received 3 mailshots asking me to come back with a 50% discount for 12 months.
Last weekend Sky rang me and offered me a 75% discount on any package for 12 months. I took EE+ at £8 a month!
£8 seems a good deal, can anyone beat that ?
Was the sky offer as new or existing customer? If existing, did you cancel sky first before they offered this deal?
Ok, will speak to them and see wot they say. Will also price up competetors, as i havent got any issue with cancelling if can get better deal elsewhere
Hopefully they can do me a good deal. I'm not asking for much from them and i'm happy to take out new contract, just bit annoyed that i'm paying full price when others seem to continually have big discounts
That was a few months ago, I am now constantly reciving offers. I have 50% off all packs for 12 months 75% off multiscreens. And before the sky fanboys moan I'm happy to have them and I return sky's kindness to me buy upgrading my packages to include things I would not buy at full price so they get more or the same money from me and I get more for my money.....
£10.75 per extra box is a ridiculous price, when or if sky bring in planner sharing if the use there brains they will coner the market but the need to get a shift on as tablets an other providers are zooming in on the market.
Thanks for the reply. 50% sounds nice. Will see how i get one
He offered me 35% off for 12 mths with no contract. I asked about 50% offer as seen loads of new customer offers and other existing custs have said they've had these. He stated they havent done these since last month?!? and 35% was best offer.
Im still unsure if im going to say or change to another provider. But just wondered if this was correct? Do they still do 50% offers??
Thanks
I had a phone call off Sky earlier because I cancelled my subscription with them 2 months ago. They offered me 75% off the full package for 12 months with no contract, I just could not turn down an offer like that, it worked out at about £14 something a month.
Cheers for the reply. I only cancelled like a day ago and received a call today. I dont know whether to hold out for better deal than 35% or if thats just greedy. If i stick with my cancellation, i'll be with a new provider so wont be able to change then.
Its still a nice saving, but 75% sounds loads better
They phoned me the day after I cancelled and offered me 50% off but I declined the offer because I had already been getting 75% off before I cancelled. This will be my 2nd year now with 75% off, they thing to do is to refuse your custom until they give you a price that your happy to pay. I am not currently working and simply cannot afford Sky at £51 a month and I tell them this and alot of the time we end up coming to a price that is affordable. When they phoned me up yesterday they were more concerned than ever when they asked which TV provider I was currently with and when I told them I had a Youview box with TalkTalk (free recording)
The line rental went up to normal price last month, and the sports was going up next month. Worked it out that it would cost me £83 next month. The wife's going on maternity at end of year and wants me to add the movies, so rang up and they offered me half price sports for a year and half price line rental for a year, and when I add the movies next month it will only be £4 for 6 months!
Cheers for the reply. Think thats where i lose out as only want the basic package.
Sky meant be calling me back, so wil see how i get on
I was an existing customer until September this year when I cancelled everything.
Cheers for reply. Will see how i get on
Update - phoned Sky back to see if they could offer me a deal on my Phone/Broadband as considering move to BT Infinity (£16 for 3 months, then £23 plus £100 Sainsburys vouchers). They offered me their Fibre Optic unlimited broadband at £10 per month with no installation charge (usually £50) plus he also offered me half price Sport and Movies for 3 months so took that deal.
I canceled Sky giving the 30 day notice in October.
I was called within a week and offered a 50% discount for a year but I turned it down.
The TV went off as projected last week in November.
We were away on holiday first 2 weeks of December and on return I had 20+ missed calls on my home phone, on investigation one particular number had called 12 times, I Googled it and it was a Sky number.
The following morning, just after 9 we had a call - from Sky.
I accepted their kind offer of 75% off for 12 months.
Nobby.
I have sky he x2 multi room. The nice young lady gave me till August multi room and hd and sky world for £66. I have been with sky since day 1 as I am disabled and tv is my best entertainment. If you speak to them nicely they are very helpfu. Oh and I have sky go to. All without sky phone line and broadband.
