I would snap the guys hand off..!

£300 + £145.50 for TV licence = £445.50 for 12 months.

or watch BBC iPlayer + all the other catchup + Netflix for £50.04 for 12 months*. I know which I prefer.

(*subscribe to HD Netflix package using Mexico address for 109 pesos /mo = £4.17 /mo).

That's the case in Ireland. However, as this is Hot UK Deals and not Hot Irish Deals, you're talking total tripe.

That's excellent if you got that. When I tried they said it wasn't available. What was your situation - have you been with Sky long?

You don't have to be out of your notice pediod. I cancelled on Friday and went onto their live chat the following day but was only offered the standard 50% off with a discretionary £50 credit. I declined and tried live chat again yesterday, this time beginning the chat with, "I understand there is an offer to reactivate my Sky"....agent asks what the offer is, I quote OFFER25 and explain that means 25 sheets per month for everything and HD (like they're not aware of their own deals lol!) and I also include the £100 credit. Agent then ckecks and then.....bingo! I'm told I'm eligible for that deal....simples!

Worth noting that Sky have announced big price rises in June so the base price for most of our discounts will be going up:

Thanks edwood. Will wait to see what Virgin come back with, hopefully this week, but if no joy will give Sky a ring back and see if they can improve on the £10 pm fibre plus £17.40 line rental :wink:

We already had fibre. And we did do this in 2 conversations.... one over the phone where we moved to Sky+ only about 3 weeks ago and they discounted the fibre to £10 per month but with £10 per month off line rental (£17.40 pm total for all the broadband - we hardly use phone so went to payg for calls) and then today when we got the 50% tv discount and £100 credit over the chat at http://sky.com/offer25. The offer25 link said we were ineligible but still had a chat link and that seemed like a good place to try to get discounts from. To be honest it was all very painless! Seems people are having some fairly different experiences....

Did you already have broadband or fibre with Sky? or was this a new service? Only reason I'm asking I've cancelled fibre, ends on 31st March, and best they offered me was £10 pm for 12 months plus line rental, so waiting on Virgin getting back to me to confirm they can do fibre for £4.99 pm for 12 months plus line rental and £50 cashback.

Just got 50% off Family and £100 credit over live chat via the offer25 link. We actually hadn't fully left, said we were going to and downgraded to just the Sky+ subscription but we did leave that hanging for a couple of weeks. Also got free Fibre Unlimited so just paying line rental for the Fibre broadband as part of that first downgrade. Very happy! We've moved from Original and saved nearly £40 a month whilst upgrading to a better service! Advisor went from an offer of 35% off to 50% and £100 credit with very little effort over the space of ten mins.... Essentially I just waited, said friends had got better deals and she went to that in three replies.

Thank OP, and thanks everyone for the tips. I went for the 50% discount + £100 credit with no contract.

Thanks.

same sky two step here , they rang two or three times , no real offer , live chat last night half price family pack and £100 credit , makes £9.66 a month , considering i was paying £30 for variety pack before was happy . Just a shame you have to go through this rigmarole every year , would have paid £15 and not even blinked if it was just standard price .

Like I said - I signed up for another 12 months. multi room movies and family package plus £100 credit

Which package did you get for this price please? Did you have to take a 12 month contract?

I just got £26 plus £100 credit. signed up to another 12 months

Thanks both for your replies. I spoke to someone on the live chat this morning, first thing he asked was if I had equipment to which I said no..he passed me over to another advisor and the best I got offered was 50% off family pack, free fibre, normal line rental. Being the same as the offer via code, I passed on this.

If I can get £25pm TV with free fibre and £100 credit that'll be a result

My £25 25months anniversary offer due to end so ill be handing my notice i soon. Shredded the 20% offer I received through post.

From my reading of this thread. Most people have been getting reconnected so no new kit reported. A few people seem to have got new kit. Most people who have achieved the 60% off/£100 credit have committed to a new 12 month contract. 50% off/£100 credit reports are more mixed with more coming back to say no new contract than the 60%/£100 credit deal.

It does seem to depend on what you have had in the past ... but then equally random what can be achieved.

I managed to get a new dish fitted & new hd+ box installed on £25 per month deal & £100 credit in account for complete bundle.

Did anyone in this thread have a new dish fitted and box provided, as a new customer, or is it strictly re connections with existing equipment? Also has anyone taken fibre+phone line alongside these offers? If so what deals?

As a new customer (currently with BT) the best I can find so far is 50% off tv pack (so family is £18pm for example), £17.40 line rental, free fibre. Total £35.40pm

My parents have also received similar offers in the past. They've had 3 months free and a year later they got 6 months free immediately followed by another 3 months free.

On all three occasions they actually called to cancel and asked for the 50% offer they were on to be carried over for another 12 months. Ironically Sky wouldn't do that but instead gave them 3 months free. Then gave them 12 months 50% with no contract. Then when that expired gave them 6 months free and followed that with 3 months free. And then they got 50% for 12 months again.

Our contract/cancelations were at a similar time and they didn't give us the free period but instead gave us 50% off :/

I don't think you can take anything they say at face value. There are lots of offers flying around that they will deny or pretend have expired. We've never got more then 50% off either. But I think the fact we've previously accepted 50% off several times makes it harder for us to now get anything better. Just as someone thats been paying full price for years will generally find it harder to get anything out of them. Whereas someone thats got to the 75% offer level will probably find it easier to keep getting that.

Essentially once they know what you're prepared to pay it becomes harder and harder to pay less. But its not impossible.

You could get them to offer you the 50% offer with the £100 credit. And tell them to note your account with the offer.
Then start looking for the £25 deal. Once you have the £25 deal, go through your account to the billing team, tell them you have rejoined Sky and were offered £100 credit as part of the deal that has been applied. Notes will be on there and the advisor should credit the amount.
Rather simple.

Technically I didn't get £100 credit. I get £50 credit that has been applied to my account twice!

The key is to keep try I say. Patience pays off.

​I think its just probably a one off.
Saying that, I dont think I have had a offer of less than 50% off over 12 months from Sky ever.

I did try the chat around 6 or 7 times on a day off :smiley:

I've tried a couple of times and the best offer still is 50% + £100 credit.

Asked about offer25 +£100 credit and 60%+£100 credit, and they said those offers have ended. They also said people are not getting £100 credit with those offers even though people are saying that on the social media forums!!!!

Ive got 8 days left, cancelled last month and they still wont offer me anything more than £6 a month off lol. Ive even joined BT who take over the line on the 20th and I can cancel up until that time but still no deals. Just came off the chat and offer 25 isnt available for me either.

Someone on the other Sky thread has also reported getting free Family pack so it may be a new offer on the system (posting this in both places - one thread would have been much easier!).

Well done, yours is the first completely free package reported (though years ago I was offered and accepted fee complete package for 6 months with no contract extension, so I know they do offer gear offers sometimes). Maybe this new version has appeared on the system or you just struck lucky.

I just went on chat to get £25 full package for 12 months for my father in law. Bit of negotiation, ending up with 60% off + £100 bill credit. So:

I pay 40% of £75.75 which is £30.30, *12 = £363.60 for the year, less £100 bill credit = £263.60 for the year = £21.97 per month.

Haha, I got the same 20% off for 10 months letter yesterday, then checked my emails and got one with 35% off everything for 12 months. Not going to take them up on any of their offers either way, TV is set to be cancelled on 7th April, so unless they ring back with a cracking offer I'll just have to make do with Freeview HD and catchup TV :wink:

Went one better...
got the full package in HD, free for 12 months, and multiroom at half price.
5.62 for 12 months is a winner.
He asked me what I wanted. I said free for 12 months. He said fine, few mins later. Bingo!!

I managed to get full package, sports, movies in HD for £22/month plus £100 credit almost 2 weeks ago.
I received a letter from Sky today advising me that I can get 20% of my current TV package for 10 months (12 month contract), but would still have to pay full price for HD. It also mentioned that this 20% offer would replace any current offer I have.
Stick with £22/month rolling contract for the next 11 1/2 months or take them up on this new offer which will be about £55+/month??
Why do they even bother with this sort of junk mail?

managed to get my new sky contract 60% discount, also got a £100 credit to my account and it's on a no contract 31 days cancellation notice too, so i could get the next 2 months free an then cancel

this worked on my 2 year old account

it also looks like you need to have had your service cut after cancelling, for offer25 to work

no not on sat, virgin however...yes you can

Left sky 2 weeks or so got 20 odd days left and to be honest been really tempted to push for a deal but couldn't get through on live chat as its a joke and now I couldn't be arsed. plenty of crap on freeview. should save me £300 a year
And they were offering me 50% on my account this morning, now it's 35%. Openbox here I come..

Also anybody have any experience with Virgin Media's TV?

Not gonna ring again - going to wait until they get in touch near cancellation date. Apparently there maybe deals then and better offers after cancellation?

Rang up again as trying to compare what they will offer (in cancellation period) compared to VM who we are contracted to until September. Best we could get is 50% off and £25 credit, apparently the £100 credit has expired, and the offer of £25/month and the offer of 60% off with credit are as well. Just annoyed how they can give 25/month deals to people and not someone who has been with them for 15+ years.

Definitely account specific, you need to be a long term customer, who has cancelled recently,if offer25 doesnt show on your account they cant/wont do it , tried 6 times now.given up

best I can get offered is 50% and £100 credit. I've tried 3 times now. I'll wait another week until I've disconnected and try again

:smiley:

Still no sign of the £12 per month/£100 credit offer tonight so I accepted 60% off (£14.40) and £100 credit for Family HD.

Still a good deal.

The code is offer25.

According to post 221 quoted below Dancehouse was within his notice period yet they gave him the offer. These things tend to be fluid. Your account history, the agents own performance (in relation to their targets for retention/grabbing new customers) and the overall promotions performance will all impact whats offered.

If the promotion or agent has already done really well, they may not offer the deal. Or if your account history suggests you'll accept a lower offer they may not give you the 25 offer. Your only option is either accept, but I imagine that will set your discount level for the future. Or follow through and leave, in which case I imagine you will be eligible for better offers not only the next time you join but also going forward after that. Good luck!

I think they are saying different things. To me they said the offer is not on my account and the person kept saying "do you want me to get fired?" She kept asking for a code as well. No one on here has ever mentioned using a code.

seems like this offer is account specific,not everybody can get it

ive had sky 11 months,iam in 30 day cancellation period, i cancelled last week, 3 times i have followed the offer25 link and gone into chat and they keep saying offer is not available on my account.its for customers of over 5 years.they can only give me 50% discount and £100 credit..Has anybody who has had sky for less than than 1 year managed to get the offer 25 ?

Couldn't get this deal. Best offer I got is 50% discount on Family pack & Sky Sports, £100 credit and no contract. I did not accept.

Was in contract on Original + Sports until the summer, but after submitting cancellation request went back to the sky.com/offer25 page and started the Live Chat there.

Quick summary of long conversation: wouldn't do the £25 all in deal (said I needed to have received it by mail), but immediately offered £100 credit and 50% off for 12 months. Provided I didn't change to the Family package, there would be no minimum contract.

I was paying about £30/month for Original + Sports (no HD), but as a result it's down to about £23/month, plus £100 credit. It may not be as good as some others have managed, but considering what I was locked into before I'm happy. Could even up sticks as soon as the £100 credit runs out! Thanks for everyone sharing their experiences (especially the tip to cancel even if within minimum term).

​Que ?

??

ok i tried about 10 times on chat and they were getting sick of me! each time saying you have already been told on a previous chat bla bla bla! i was just in my 31 cancelation notice period and already was getting 60% off. Best i got was £100 credit and 50% off tv, they gave me free hd worth £5.25 and let me continue my half price multiscreen till may. still no contract so might try again when the credit runs out!

Family with Sports & Movies - including discounts £35.25
Sky Multiscreen - including discounts £5.62
Sky Go Extra - including discounts FREE
HD Pack - including discounts FREE

Me and our lass are both trying to get these discounts sorted, tried about 3 times each, best offer so far is 20% off with no credit

I have been told not to contact this team again as I left over 12 months ago (apparently I should really be contacting sales). I have been told a few times over the past few days that this deal is no longer available with £100 credit and hasn't been all week (strange given lots of people have reported getting it :disappointed:).

The best deal I got offered was 60% off and £100 credit, 12 month contract. Each agent can see how many times you have contacted them (and no doubt the transcripts) as it was mentioned durig the conversation that they could see I had contacted them before.

A shame as I would have accepted the £12 per month/£100 credit offer - and was almost there with the 60% off/£100 credit :disappointed: (unless this is part of their negotiating tactics to push back?).

The best I have been offered so far today is 60% off and £100 credit, which is very good but wondering if it is worth holding out for the £12 per month and £100 credit offer or if (as they say) it has now been withdrawn (credit no longer available but £12 Family HD and £25 Full Package available)?

I have been away from the sky TV package for about 7 months (openbox) as an alternative but I tried last Saturday morning on the normal live chat. The first question I asked was I want to know more about the full sky package for £25, went through without any problems. I didn't demand the package I just asked for more information. Got the new contract with the discount applied.before someone asks the openbox is for the bedroom now :-D

Subscription cancelled and due to expire in a couple of days, made multiple attempts at bettering a 50% off with £100 credit but to no avail. Time to let it expire, shame as would've taken the £25 deal. Hopefully something through the post once it's expired.

for those that have upgraded over the last few days have you got anything regarding broadband or line rental with your package ?

I've cancelled and make multiple attempts to get this deal today, only been offered 50% and £100 credit so far. I'm not desperate to keep sky, but I'm happy to pay £25/month if I get the F1 channel included - I'll keep trying.

Is it possible to get this offer if I have been disconnected for more than 12 months. I can either get the complete bundle for £30 as a new customer via an offer code but obviously if I can reduce it further it would be even better. Does anyone know how to combine the offer code prices with quidco/introduce a friend codes.

Thanks for your help.

forget sky. try this
http://www.sattechuk.com/

Or get a zgemma box

I just signed up again. I asked about £25 deal plus £100 credit and was told they can only do it on the 60% off deals. I was offered family+sport+movies at 60% off + free HD, works out at £28.20 per month + £100 credit.

There is the £100 credit in addition to that, so 3 months free in theory.

The full price I will be paying is £38.02. That's for Variety TV (so no sports or movies), unlimited broadband, pay as you go phone (we don't use a landline) and multiscreen in one room on a HD+ box. The deal is actually for £32.40 as we already had half price multiscreen until December. I was also offered half price movies which I declined so I'm sure they'd do half price sports as well.

So what is the full price you pay and what are you getting? Just wondering as our cancel period ends April 1st, and about to ring up other providers to see what they offer for full package.

We mainly want the Sports though (including BT) in HD, as the likes of films and TV shows can be had with alternate methods. Any suggestions?

I cancelled this morning and went online within half an hour for a deal. I got 50% of tv, free broadband and £100 credit. He wouldn't do offer25 but tbf I don't need all those channels any ways. And because my sky cancellation request has been cancelled, I'm continuing to get my half price multiscreen until December! Win!

The people not getting this .. Are you def in cancellation period ? I.e actually cancelled in the last 30 days , and are you definitely going through the sky.com/offer25 link , logging into your account , clicking for a live chat guy on that page , not general live chat , and asking for the 25 quid deal ? I spent a whole hour on the "wrong" live chat and the guy insisted he couldn't offer me the £25 . As soon as I went on the "correct" live chat I was offered 60% discount , then I raised the offer25 deal and was offered it straight away .. Like most on here. Seems odd that some are getting knocked back.

You can also do this for accounts still in contract by the way. :smiley:

Put in my request to cancel this morning, got an email straight away saying they wanted me to stay and to ring them up and that's what they offered me (50% off and credit). They wouldn't offer any better, they went to speak to someone else who wouldn't offer better. Online rep wouldn't either.

I wasn't but was offered 50% off any package plus a £100 credit as the first and only offer. Haggled quite a bit but no budging. I left it for now as 3 weeks left of the cancellation period. This was online chat so may phone tomorrow.

People who are in their cancel period, were you offered this deal? I have been offered 50% off and credit but not this. I have been on chat where some reps say there is no offer and now they are saying that you may need to ring to get it, and also it's not available for people in their cancel period? :neutral_face:

Well I finally got through to chat.

They will not give me £100 credit with the £25 deal but will give me 60% off full price = £30.30 plus £100 credit.

So either £25 or £21.96 after the credit, not as good as the £16.66 some people are getting :disappointed:


Edit: I haven't been a customer for over 6 months btw.

Good to hear someone who left over 12 months ago has been successful - gives hope if I can ever get through on live chat.

I got offered 50% and £100 bill credit with no minimum contract which I went ahead with, suppose I could have haggled for longer but wanted to go to bed!

Finally got the £12 Family HD pack with £100 credit on third attempt. This time I was told there was no such offer - I could only have 50% or £50 credit. I then said that I would continue with the cancellation. The reply came back that they would speak to the supervisor and came back and said that yes I could have the Family HD pack for £12 plus £100 credit.

Don't give in - keep on trying!!!

Thanks, found the deal on quidco, was on live chat abit ago il go through with it tomorrow.

Has anyone got any deals and on the multi room, I've tried a few times there willing to slash prices on everything except the multi room.

And don't forget once you've got the £25 deal plus £100 credit, you're "an existing" customer and can get Multiscreen for £5.26 per month for 12 months with free installation.

Nobody else got £22 per month and £100 credit?

Okay, I just got it. £25 for the Full Bundle + £100 credit, so first 4 months free. Total monthly cost £16.67, bargain!

Has anyone got the Variety Bundle + Sports for £17? Or is that only available if you get the Complete Bundle plus £100 credit? That works to about £16.77 per month.

We left in October and the deals they've been offering us (without prompting) have been getting better and better every few weeks.

This £25 is as good as it gets (we got the letter on Saturday) in my opinion, my Dad was seething, he's paying around £75 for the exact same package.

Give or take the odd deal here and there sadly yes!!

You were right to decline. They'll want your business again though so keep trying.

It might be worth leaving it a day or so and trying again. Hopefully you'll get a more helpful advisor. The whole thing seems tobe so arbitrary, I mean I was still in my notice period!

I had been with Sky for 14 years so gave notice last Friday. I was therefore a couple of days into my 31 days notice when I asked for the OFFER25.

I've just tried about 5 times and they never do it. the best offer I got was family pack with sports for £30.75 and £100 credit. Declined the offer.

Further to my last post, obviously if the Sky advisor doesn't give you the OFFER25 deal plus credit your account with100 crispy ones, then immediately terminate that chat and start another one. Just keep doing this until you get it!

I have been with SKY for 14 yrs .....Fed up of paying £50+ per month, went on online chat said id like to cancel and they said ok....so i have cancelled , ill get by with freeview and netflix......they can shove it...not a single offer apart from a pathetic £6 per month discount

found everything under MY ACCOUNT section apart from contract length

You don't have to be out of your notice pediod. I cancelled on Friday and went onto their live chat the following day but was only offered the standard 50% off with a discretionary £50 credit. I declined and tried live chat again yesterday, this time beginning the chat with, "I understand there is an offer to reactivate my Sky"....agent asks what the offer is, I quote OFFER25 and explain that means 25 sheets per month for everything and HD (like they're not aware of their own deals lol!) and I also include the £100 credit. Agent then ckecks and then.....bingo! I'm told I'm eligible for that deal....simples!

I've just cancelled this morning, all they offered me was 10% off for 9 months, as soon as I had cancelled and then clicked on the link above to go on the chat, I was offered 50% off plus £100 credit. I asked about the £25 offer and was told that it wasn't available on my account. After asking they said that this is only available after the 31 days. I'll keep trying!

So do you need to also be out of the 31 days cancellation for this to work? I gave notice a few days ago and am not in contract anymore and yet they keep offering me the 50% + 100 credit deal which is good but not as good as OFFER £25.

They didn't.

Hello everyone who got the deal - just a question I'd like to ask.
What confirmation did you get on the offer?
I did not have the option of saving/emailing the chat session.
I have also not received an email like every other year when I've renegotiated a new deal.
The good news is that everything looks correct on my account online, but I can only see a couple of months into the future. The discount is correct, but it doesn't state when it expires.
It's very likely that everything is correct, but I like to have all the details in black and white. I'm currently in dispute over Sky line rental discount and they're having to check back on recorded phone calls from last year as I didn't recieve written confirmation of discount which disappeard after 3 months.

I've had that. Just cancel. They will ring b4 the 30 days.
I kept a reminder in my phone so if they didn't ring I could ring them.

got OFFER25 bundle and £100 credit.

Hi Anon,
I did try again later and got it for £22 and £100 credit.
I wouldn't have got early termination charge as the Scottish lass I spoke to arranged it so that my cancellation was "pending" until 31 days before my current contract expires. I think I found a bit of a loophole as this pending cancellation allowed my to use the link from this page, which allowed me to chat with Sky Reinstate rather than Sky Retentions.

Just been onto chat after giving notice to cancel this morning (contract was up in June). quoted sky25 and was immediately offered the Full package for £25 - I then mentioned the £100 credit and was offered £50 credit which he insisted was the best he could do - Im happy enough with that. Also have multiroorm so it will be £36.70 month with that added which is still ok for me.

If you need a box it's best to order online, got a 2TB for £149 + £15v delivery.

Sorry for long post, but thought people might want to see what to expect when contacting Sky re this offer.
My experience today.
Phoned to cancel. My contract ends in mid May, so Sky only offered me 10% discount for 9 months!! She said OFFER25 was for customer who'd left Sky over 12 months ago. I told her "no" and read the line from the website stating customers who had left in the last 12 months. I obviously declined the 10% offer and asked when the earliest I could cancel. She said she can put the request in and it will be pending until 31 days before 18th May.
I returned to the link on Hotukdeals (sky.com/offer25) and although no actual offer appears, the chat with advisor button for exclusive offer button now shows (she must have put the cancellation request in). I clicked on the chat and the following is the main points from the online chat-
Me - "Hi, I have given my notice to cancel Sky, but would like to accept the OFFER25 deal with £100 credit for Full HD package for 12 months @£25"
Sky - "This offer is exclusively for those customer who has received the email from Sky for this offer."
(Quite a few more messages between us before he came up with the following offer)
Sky - "I will give you 50% off on TV package for 12 months; So here is your package summary Family + Sports + Movies @ £35.25 pm [50% Off] HD Pack @ £5.25 pm So your total monthly cost will be £40.5 pm for 12 months"
Sky - "So you save £423 Annually !!!"
Me - "I know that customers are been offered the full package for £25 per month and receiving a £100 credit. If being a customer for over 10 years and most likely spending in the region of £10,000 over these years doesn't entitle me to offers that other customers get then I'd rather not be a Sky customer. Thank you for looking in to this deal but I'll stick with my cancellation and see if I receive the £25 offer."
Sky - "Okay. I respect your decision. It was Wonderful chatting with you!! Thank you & have a lovely day ahead of you."

So a ridiculous offer on phone and then a good offer on chat. But even the chat offer is a lot more than the posted deal. I don't know if the fact I'm not even 31 days away from end of my current contract is making it harder to get the £25 deal. I don't think I could have done anything different to get the deal. I suppose I could try again from 17th April (31 days before end of contract), but that takes it past 24 March which is quoted as the end date on the OP's letter (I guess this might not be the end date for everyone though)

At £40.40 p/m (£10 per week) I think I am getting good value, maybe not as cheap as some people are paying, but I get £10 of use per week out of Sky.

I didn't have movies and only had sports coz of a cheap deal . Cancelled at 11 on sat and by 3 had the 25 quid deal . Tried for an hour with online with no result until actually went to the sky.com/offer25 link , asked what deals , got offered 60% off then I mentioned the full hd pack for £25 and got it no probs . The first guy said he couldn't apply the 25 deal to the account ..only when I went to the link page where it states "thinking of coming back to sky" and entered online chat on that page was the offer available.

I cancelled yesterday and tried offer25 tonight. They told me that it wasn't showing on my account and was only for previous customers of more than 15 years. Offered 50% off family pack, then when pushed £50 credit. When I said no, offered £100 credit and nothing extra.

I declined the offer.

Yep - done that both times. Have had a look via the remote at my offers and have the 50% one sat there. Do you think it's worth me having another go with the online chat - just wondering, could it be because I've not previously had the sports / movies only the family pack?

You definitely going to the sky.com/offer25 .. Logging into account then clicking the blue online chat option on that page ? You won't get this with ordinary sky online chat if you are in cancellation period .. 30 days .

i tried myself. for my existing account for which i put cancellation a few days ago, the OFFER25 deal is not available (unless i actually have an email from sky saying otherwise). however i had an old sky account lying around. logged in and there it was the £25 per month offer. also for my current account they offered me line rental off for 12 months and £5 per month broadband. which makes £30 for everything for 12 months. which i think is nice. just raising this for people who may be in this unique but similar situation.

I've just tried this after giving cancellation notice and they're having none of it - said they can't see the offer on my account. He's offering me £40 per month with a £100 credit

Great news!!!
I recommend everybody to repeat online chats. I posted (#193) about my initial phone call (10% discount for 9 months), then online chat after I had put in cancellation notice (50% discount). I have just finished another online chat and have.... Full HD package with Movies and Sky for £22 per month (that's right £22 not £25), plus I got £100 credit (2 lots of £50) :smiley:

just got it at the first try... but be careful, checked MY ACCOUNT section while still on the chat, found out there's only 50 added to my account, another 50 pounds were only added after I said I were going to call the office to confirm

Same as myself .. It's strange if people are on the right chat they ain't getting the offer .

many thanks

Hi there was none available with the £25 deal I asked yesterday but was put through to another department who will hopefully give me a call back Monday to see what offers deals they can offer. gives me time to have a look at bt, talk talk, Vodafone.

could i please ask what kind of offers you guys get for the accompanying broadband and sky talk with this tv package offer? thanks

yes i cancelled yesterday went through the link and quoted offer 25, very strange.

just tried again and was fobbed off, saying the offer is no longer available, it was 'a one hour special', obviously utter rubbish. I'll try again in the week.

Thanks for this. I was on the £36.25 multiroom deal for the past two years, due to expire in April and become £87! Tried to haggle them down on Friday and was offered £63 so went ahead and cancelled (30 day notice period). Just went on webchat again and mentioned the OFFER25, yep no problem £25 per month for the full HD package plus £11.25 for multiroom, so back where I wanted to be. Asked about the £100 credit and was told this was discretionary not part of the deal but was offered £50 credit. I'm happy with that. BTW this deal is not available to the team in "Retentions" apparently, hence the guy I spoke to on Friday couldn't do a decent deal. You need to have cancelled to get access to this deal. Very happy.

yes ive cancelled and yes went through the link

just had a call from sky offering all the packages for £25 but no credit.
Declined when they refused the £100 credit

ive just tried and was offered 50% off and £100 bill credit, (worked out at £32.50/month full HD package, which is pretty good) but said i wanted the sky25 offer and was told i couldn't have that so told them i wouldn't rejoin. Will try again later.

hi anyone got multi room for half price with this deal

Forgot to mention - there is no contract - I can cancel anytime (after June 30th which is when my old contract would have ended) by giving 30 Days notice.

If you have cancelled make sure you go through the sky.com/offer25 link .. The staff in general live chat don't have the option to give the deal unless you are actually out of contract .. Not in the 30 day cancellation period.. Or so I was told by the guy I was dealing with. Went through the offer25 link and was done in 15 mins .

Been away from Sky for over a year now, after over ten years mostly at full price...
Just had a go on live chat, and got the deal at £25, but only £75 credit.
Didn't push for more, as I'm still undecided about signing up again.
£149 for a new box, plus £15 handing, if I don't want to use my old box.
Anyone managed to get new equipment on this deal??

Oh no...I negotiated poorly. Seems people are getting £25/month PLUS £100 credit. That brings the monthly cost to about £16.67 for full Sky with sports and movies - wow!

For the last 3 years or so it's been that easy had 2 years of 75% last year managed to get a 2Tb box as well, for the 10 years before that it was more difficult you needed to play the game tell them you couldn't afford it, my wife had been on maternity leave for those 10 years. In that time the discounts weren't as long as 12 months some 3 mainly 6 months and discounts ranged from 20 to 50% think in the last 13 years probably paid full price for about 4 months.

Put it in your calendar or phone when your offer expires and just go through it all again.

Remember other companies will offer discounts, Virgin will do it for sure, never had any luck when we were with BT but other have more recently, there is a article on MSE on which companies will offer. It's certainly worth it :smiley:

I was given the OFFER25 + £100 bill credit for my Uncle's account. For my other family member's account, they wouldn't budge off the 50% off + £100 bill credit. Still took it though :smiley:

I did it after an hour and they were fine

Thanks will cancel tomorrow morning how long after cancelling is best to get back on chat to get offer

canx this afternoon got the 50% and £50 offer then asked about sky 25 was given it without question! lol

yeah that's what I did

Thanks

You need to cancel first. Then can jump immediately on the chat and quote OFFER25 and link to this deal. They won't offer it before you cancel

​try quoting sky25

Thanks

How can I copy a post off here incase they say they don't offer the £25 per month the one that shows the chat advisors conversation to prove that it has been given to someone else please

No just don't want to be paying more

Nothing is a definite, but you have no harm in trying!

Thanks and will I definitely get an offer that lets me pay less than over £78 like I have been paying every month for over 14years

Tomorrow?

Live Chat is available 7am to 11pm. 7 days a week.

If I cancel now when should I try and go for the offer please

Is it worth me cancelling to try and get this offer I have been with sky over 14 years and have been pay over £78 all the time never had it any cheaper

The link to this thread

Just finished with adviser Arun on line and was offered £25 per month for full sky TV and £100 credit but he did say it was only for the next hour? Also not in contract either! Thanks OP heat added.

Has anyone managed to get this deal who left over a year ago please?

As I am not interested in family bundle and movies. I asked for sports plus basic TV package for 18/month and 100 credit

I tried that earlier and was told that offer wasn't available just the 10% for 9 months do you know who he chatted with I haven't cancelled yet but can just don't know if I cancel if I will get this offer

Cheers for the info mate.

I cancelled TV over the phone on 17 Feb (had been on half price for a year and that came to an end).
Called them yesterday to try and get this - no luck.
Did the chat thing an hour ago - result!

By the way my mate is on the chat right now. Claimed he received a £25 offer in the mail (he didn't - heard from me). He's just been given the offer with no problems plus free broadband!! - I didn't get that.:confused:

how long after going through the cancellation chat did you try this?

Just got this deal for a family member. Cancelled on hpone. Spoke on live chat, copied the link and all done! :smiley:

Did you already cancel I don't know if to cancel to try and get this offer been umming and arring all day

eslick...YOU ARE THE MAN!!
Did as you said...asked about offers and got offered 35% off. Said I wanted 60% and £100 credit or £25/month and BANG - my wish was granted (after "checking with my manager" obviously):smiley:
I already had half price line rental and discounted international calls.

Don't know guy on chat just said they had removed contracts when I was trying to haggle for this deal but all they would offer is 10% off for 9 months so don't know if to risk cancelling to see if I can get this offer

How come they removed your contract minimum term?

My contract were supposed to finish in July but they have removed the contracts so am free to cancel anytime

Nope .. As it happens our contract was up anyway didn't cancel just coz of this .. Found this after we had cancelled

And she didn't query why you had only cancelled this morning

Said I was in cancelation period and was wondering what deals were available . Was offered 60% off .. I thanked her for the offer and said I had seen online the sky25 full hd deal and was that available .. Yes .. Then asked if it included the £100 credit .. Yes again .. .

Seems by the tales on here it's a matter of luck .

Ok what did you say to them on chat to get the £25 offer and did you get bill credit

I got nowhere with general live chat .. Went on the link I said . Stated I was in cancelation period and asked what deals were on offer . Got the 60% first off , then I asked about the sky25 offer and it was offered there and then . Ordinary chat was a brick wall. This was thru sky.com/offer25 link .

Just come off live chat again and my contracts have been removed so I am able to cancel today if I want as only getting 10%discount offered for 9months don't know if I date cancel incase IT dosent work and have to pay full price as I really don't want to cancel just want a better deal

I did this and NOT offered this at all via sky25 link!

And what did you say to them on chat you had just changed your mind from this morning

I'm worried that if I cancel I still won't get this offer and then I will have to stop my cancellation and have to pay full price

Dunno.. probably .. We cancelled at 11 this morning .. Would imagine you have to cancel .. But try, nothing to lose . But since it's coming back to sky you will have to be in the motions of actually leaving.

I have not give my cancellation in yet does that matter please

Go to sky.com/offer25 .. Then sign in .. It's thinking of coming back to sky page. Click on the live chat when it's blue . I spoke to ria .. Even ditched the £4 a month for calls as never use landline

Where is that chat please not getting anywhere on cancellation chat

Where is that chat please not getting anywhere on cancellation chat

Ok sussed it .. If you are in cancellation period .. Go to existing customers thinking of leaving and enter live chat there .. No haggle done in 15 mins . Hope it helps someone. Got offered 60% off first then I asked about sky25 and no probs done and dusted.

My 31 Day notice expired today so I lost all Sky Plus facilities. Called 0800 number to accept 50% off deal I had received in post two weeks ago (I was holding off for a better offer) and was told that it had expired and the best they could offer was 10% off. I declined and was then put through to someone else who offered me Full package (Sports and Movies + HD) for £25/Month plus £25 credit but wouldn't budge on £11.25/Month for multiroom so I decided to go without multi room. I then discovered that they had cancelled the multiroom on the wrong box so I called back to get them to change the boxes and they offered Multiroom for £2.50/Month ??? I have no idea why they didn't just offer the complete deal at £27.50 + £25 credit in the first place ??

Zamia online chat denies any knowledge of how people in cancellation period can get this and sticking with the 50% plus £100 .. Told him to stick it

I asked on live chat if I am able to cancel today and they said yes so might decide to try later

I really want to try and get this deal but my current contract runs till July is it worth me trying to get this now

Legend!!!

Trying this after cancelling today but they ain't having it as can't add this deal to a pending closure account ? Any ideas? Saying it's only for accounts actually finished .

Multi screen can be added for existing customers with £30 Cashback and £5.62 (half price) per month - currently advertised on Quidco, also on Topcashbsck (use Cashback guarantee to match Quidco)

Went for 12 a month on family
100 credit

So 44 for the year. Same price really as now tv which I had but with all the added channels and hd and recording. Bonus. Thanks op

Now to quickly get a decent multiscreen offer

I've just come off sky chat. I was offered variety tv package and unlimited broadband for £ 47 a month. I said yes please. Sign me up right now! My contract end 8th March so ill be Internetless but ill have free view . What did we do before Internet ??

Yes I've also just got Full Package HD for £25 + £100 Bill Credit

I cancelled in one chat window and was put in the 30 day cancellation period, then opened a new chat and asked about the offer and i'd stay if available.. all done in 30 mins total!!! thanks OP!!!

Hi yes it is new 2TB box...engineer out on Friday to install .

It was listed, but I can't find it on mine right this second.

Maybe use this link as a way to get them to add it. https://www.promotioncode.sky.com/campaigns/vclcomplete30?DCMP=afc-502004&affiliate=true

This shows as add multiroom for an extra £5 a month. Could argue that new customers get it for an extra £5 and why shouldn't you?

Thanks might give it a go not got anything to lose do you have to definetly cancel to get this offer

I was told there's currently no deals on multiroom but to check at a later date

I mean, you could always give it a go and see what they offer. It seems like some have said that they will leave at the end of the contract if that's the case when offered very little and then offered a good deal. Just, from their perspective they may not offer you anything because they have no reason to since you're in contract.

Hanks just wondered as last night someone posted on this post that they got this deal with 3 months left on there contract

OMG!!!!
I just said on online chat that I had an offer through the post for the family bundle at £12 per month, but I was a little annoyed that I have seen on an online forum that people are also being offered account credit. They asked how much credit was being offered, I said £100 & fully expected them to say that was because they had taken the full package, but no they accepted!!!
So my package over the course of the year will cost £44 :confused:

What's the best anyone is getting on multiroom please

In the last 31 days of your contract because you're in contract until then so they have no reason to give you a better deal.

When would be best for me to try and get this deal then please

So until this morning I was on the Original package which is the most basic package (I rang last year and negotiated a £12.50 a month discount for 9 months and the final 3 months at standard price of £21.50 per month) which came to an end in the last week or so. I tried to do online chat but that was a total waste of time the first time round. I called and asked for the HUKD deal, told no can do so cancelled. 30 seconds later I went to sky.com/offer25, logged in and asked what offers they have for me, I was offered 50% of the all channels/sports/movies/HD package and a £50 credit. I literally said I want to pay £25 per month max and want a £100 credit and pasted the HUKD deals link in the webchat. It was immediately honored and now I have all the channels in HD for £25 a month with a £100 credit (the equivalent of £16.66 a month for the full 12 months). Which is therefore a fiver less per month han I was paying for the last 2 months for the most basic package. Super happy. Thanks op!

Finished with Sky beg of Feb...just negotiated on chat (took a while...keep trying) the £25 pm deal for Complete Bundle + new box being installed next week & £100 credit. I tried to get a deal for multi room & chat op told me to call back in a couple of days & I would be offered a better deal than what I could of got today.....very happy

My contract is about to end
Does the Family HD pack include Sky+ recording?

You can find CN and Nick in Kodi.

£300 + £145.50 for TV licence = £445.50 for 12 months.

or watch BBC iPlayer + all the other catchup + Netflix for £50.04 for 12 months*. I know which I prefer.

(*subscribe to HD Netflix package using Mexico address for 109 pesos /mo = £4.17 /mo).

Rastafari is the almighty.

I took this deal yesterday and was initially happy with it. As I read that others managed to get a bill credit on top of it, I went back to the chat and ended up £50 richer. Happy days.

Ah thanks. May give it a go.

Man I'm glad I didn't bite yesterday when this was first posted. I was about to confirm in their website for £25pm. Wouldn't of gotten the £100 credit.

Just got the complete bundle for £25pm and £100 credit. I pressed and pressed for a new box or discounted multi room but they wouldn't budge. Any ways I'm well happy with what I got. £200 for the whole year of the complete bundle. Btw guys if you are not getting this offered to you then just mention your friend told you about is offer and he returned to sky with this offer.

Also factor in broadband package for your catch up / stream method

1. Use something like Hola to make Netlfix think you're in Mexico.
2. Sign up and elect to pay with Halifax Clarity credit card (or similar) if you can, to avoid currency conversion fees.
3. That's it. Log out. Turn off hola. Log in with your newly created account details. There you have it. All UK content as you're logging in from the UK.
4. Optionally, use unlocator.com (or similar) to access Netflix regions other than the UK. (If you just want UK content you don't need to do this step).

Hot...hot...hot
Got £12 Family bundle deal and £100 account credit.

Thank you OP

​yeah I had that. So cancelled, used the chat service the next day and got 60% off and credit. Definitely worth doing.

When I phoned last year to cancel they guy I spoke to said okay and started the cancellation process. No offer, no deal, no nothing.

There were no offers on the website for me either.

I spoke to them on live chat and they offered me 50% off family package movies and sports, free unlimited broadband with HD pack for £57 Inc line rental. This is with a bill credit and a rolling contract. I had no luck pushing to 60% and they wouldn't do multiroom half price either. I was about to accept the offer when I decided to clarify the rolling contract part. Apparently the rolling contract would only apply to the TV and not the Broadband. So I told them that, that defeats the object of a rolling contract and to stuff it! Anyone else have them trying this tactic?

You keep the same deal, but they would charge installation fee for new home.

How are people getting the 25 deal with the 100 credit?

Currently with Sky but thought of leaving and signing up as new customer. Would rather save the faff and go for this. How long did you have to wait before receiving this offer?

I got just 35% discount for 12 months via live chat today. Was happy but it appears as though others have done better.

You certainly don't need a TV licence to broadcast live television. :smirk: (different kind of licence required)

However if you meant to say you need a licence to possess equipment capable of receiving live TV, then you are completely and utterly wrong.

Not that I am the first to point that out.

Just thinking with this kind of deal its not really hurting sky as its a flick of a switch for them and extra income. It stops people signing up as new customers every year where they provide a new 'free' box so its cheaper from their angle as the equipment is already installed and customers don't have to play a load of games to get a good deal.

i cancelled my sky family HD package when the discounted period was up, it was £36pm - daylight robbery for what you get!!! But not just renewed my family bundle HD package for £12pm.
Happy days. Thanks OP.

I cancelled last month and got a call whilst in my notice period offering me 50% off and free for 6 months without a new contract. She said 'why would you not take this?' She had a point, so I stayed!

We haven't had sky for almost a year now, usually when cancelling our contract they offer us such a good deal that we end up staying, this time they just cancelled. They keep sending letters through with 50% off which has never been enough to lure us back but after receiving this letter today I am very tempted, even more so if I can get credit.

What are you all saying on chat to get £100 credit??

​Total Rubbish.

"You do not need a TV licence if you only watch content after it's been shown on television. This includes TV programmes downloaded or streamed after broadcast using a catch-up service.

Be warned, this could all change over the next few years, with new legislation set to be introduced that would mean you'd need a licence to watch catch-up TV regardless of when it was broadcast. But at the moment, the rules are: if you have a TV but only use it to watch DVDs, for gaming or for watching catch-up TV (eg, BBC iPlayer, 4oD), you don't need a licence." MSE December 2015

Am in my notice period (told them to stuff it on the 17th of February). Asked about this offer or any other offer - computer said no....:disappointed:

​This is not true you can have these things, they have to prove that you use them.

Just upgraded via live chat for the £25 deal and got £100 credit to my account too :smiley: Our sky has only been off for a couple of weeks, couldn't justify £77 but £200 for the year is awesome

I have been out of contract for months and been paying about £29 for the family entertainment package - no HD, movies or sports. I am calling them tomorrow morning.

Hi I went on live chat yesterday all he could offer me was 10% off but didn't cancel as I have till July didn't think I could cancel just yet

​You don't need to break viewing at all. Cancel today (will terminate in 31 days), do this chat tomorrow and now you have a huge discount.

​I called yesterday and he insisted all he could do was 10% off. So I called his bluff and cancelled. Used this link today and BOOM! 60% off plus £50 credit. Don't blink 1st!

No you don't. As long as you don't watch TV as it is being shown. I.e Live broadcasts. You can own what you like and not pay a TV license if you don't watch live TV.

http://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/check-if-you-need-one

This is great, thanks for posting. I cancelled my Sky yesterday to go and get the Carphone Warehouse deal, tried this and hey presto, 60% plus £50 credit. Making the cost of the full bundle, HD, sports, movies etc just £26pm. Thanks so much for posting, this saved me a trip to CPW. :smile:

Did you go through the link or did you go on live chat mine ends in July is it worth me trying to get this deal or should I wait till closer to july

not the case. just off the phone, got this deal, and I have 3 months remaining. was initially told can't do anything till my contact is up, so I said forget it when my contact is up I'm off, then all of a sudden I could get this offer. all depends who you speak to really.

Close. I eat rice and peas and drive a Nissan Leaf. I applaud you still.

Wow, Sky must have some unusual phone lines installed if you can reach over it to snap someone's hand off. Sounds like you need a firewall for the phone line or a bouncer.

What happens if I take this and move house in 2-3 months to an a house without a sky dish?

It worked, thank you!

ABSOLUTE TOSH! Show us your source.

Im about 40 days away from end of my contract and phoned today to see when they can accept cancellation.
She couldnt work out the exact day to call and cancel contract end date - 31 days so accepted the cancellation today.
No questions why or any attempt to try and keep me!

Ok thank you does everyone get these offers after cancelling as I really don't want a break in viewing just want to reduce my cost

Anybody know when best time to contact sky about a better deal my contract due to expire July

I was paying about £55 for a fairly basic package - ended up ringing to cancel. They tried to get me back a couple of times (before my 30 days was up) but I told them to stick it. In the end, they rang to do a "survey", after half an hour they had given me broadband, phone, line rental, entertainment pack plus box sets plus HD box, all for the cost of the line rental, so about £17 per month. That was on an eleven month contract which is due to expire in April. Then the whole rigmarole starts again, except this time I've got a couple of NowTV boxes sitting ready to go if they don't play ball.

​Not true

It was a morning when I was off work, about ten-ish. It's definitely a call worth making. That £240 almost paid for my car insurance, I was so pleased. I did choose the 'cancel' option on the telephone voice prompts, but the operator just asked how they could help and cancelling was never mentioned. I was expecting to at least have to threaten cancelling, but she just offered the reduction straight away.

Just been on sky chat still in contract by a few days the best I've been offered is full package sports and movies included full HD with 2 multi rooms for £48.30 a month plus £100 credit, declined the offer, want a bit more off before I take the bait.

does this include sports and movies?

That's the case in Ireland. However, as this is Hot UK Deals and not Hot Irish Deals, you're talking total tripe.

​You need a TV licence if you own equipment with the capability to broadcast live television, regardless of whether or not you watch it. That includes a television set, a laptop or technically even a smartphone.

Last year I took out a deal as a new subscriber. Family pack with HD and multiroom for £27.00 a month (everything apart from movies/sport).

Me deal ended and went up to £47.00. I paid this for one month, as a friend recommended me to do, and then called them. After about 25mins on hold ! I spoke to a nice scottish lady and simply said I need to reduce the cost, she asked if there was anything I wanted to cancel (multiroom etc), I said no I just can't justify paying £47.00 as I have netflix, NowTV and a tv with freeview.

She immediately knocked the price back down to £27.00 without me threatening to cancel etc.
So for a half hour phone call (25mins on hold, 5mins talking) I've saved £240 a year.

So not a 'deal' as such, but I'd recommend anyone to ring them after they've been a customer for over 12months. Just do it on a speaker phone so you can put it down and carry on with what you're doing for the huuge hold times.

From other comments whilst talking to people if you get through to an offshore call centre then you seem less likely to get deals, listen for a nice scottish voice ! If at first it doesn't work call them back.

Martln Lewis lists sky as the most likely company to offer you a deal
http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/phones/negotiate-with-service-providers

I got this in the post today - would have taken it were it not for Virgin Media offering me a good deal on the big kahuna bundle for 39 a month all inclusive (inc line rental)

Ok thanks and was your contract already up or was it due to expire soon, and what did you say to them please on chat today

I only have sky broadband and phone. A chap from Sky rang me to offer Sky HD incl entertainment and sports and movies for just 17.98 per month for 12 months. Not sure if I want to take up the offer or not, as I have netflix

​only gave my 30 day notice yesterday

I only cancelled a few days ago after having no luck on the phone to get a discount. I used the Chat and spoke to Simmi and got the family HD for £12 a month.

Chuffed with this deal :smiley:

Thanks OP. Was going to go car phone warehouse in the next couple of days to take up the £30pm offer but this one is even better.

I guess it's horses for courses but I don't know of many people who would want to move over to solely on-demand viewing. Choice is much more limited, you have to put up with streaming issues and you'd be out of luck if, like me, you watch the news every night or some of the more obscure channels. Still, well done on the money saving.

thanks for this....went thru the process and got the live chat fella. ended up with full HD package, sports and movies, one multiroom, phoneline and broadband, for 49 quid, as well as 100 bill credit. 6 quid less than I was paying yesterday when I cancelled (with the added bonus of no bills for two months with the 100 credit) and about 55 a month less than the "normal" bill for what I get.

​Legally you only need a TV licence to watch live broadcast TV. You do not currently need a TV licence to watch any of the catch up services like I player. I have a TV licence but very rarely watch live TV. I just can't be bothered with the arguments when the licencing people come knocking. If you can be bothered to tell them where to go and you genuinely never watch live TV go for it.

No TV licence needed for the above. No watching TV as it's shown, correct (watch when you want instead).

I got the same today too. Wonder if it matters that we have broadband and line rental in the wife's name.

hopefully Netflix et al is mullering Sky's customer base

diaregard my comment...just seen photo
