​for me there are 2 reasons, the first being how many PVRs people I know get through, paying £200 every few years as they get slow or break, this balances out the sky cost to me when on a good discount. Also regarding Kodi I don't mind paying for content. I class it the same as downloading films or music for free, the people creating the content should get paid for it otherwise eventually they just won't bother, then what will you watch for free.

I got everything free for 12 months by saying the only thing that would bring me back to sky is if you gave it to me free. He said okay then!

Have you pressed the service button on your remote? Ring that number and see what they offer.

Just a quick update- via online chat, asked for a deal to come back to Sky, TV only. Got as far as 60% off, but on a 12 mth new contract, using my old box. Asked if any further % discount or account credit available, but was told no. Even asked for a £40 credit after that reply, but again was told I was at the maximum, and nobody else (at Sky) could better that offer.
I'll wait a few days and try again..

I've just been on with Sky retentions live chat and the best they could offer is 50% off our current package bringing it down to £43/month on a month by month rolling contract. They said they're not offering anything above that as of 1/1/17. I've tried to get a better deal three times in the past week with our cancellation coming into effect 17/1/17 with no joy.

However, after just reading through this thread, I checked the Sky Services via my Sky remote and there was a 60% offer and the sky number on screen. I rang through and was immediately offered the 60% off our current package bringing it down to £33.20/month on a month by month rolling contract.
That's cheaper than we've ever paid so we snapped it up. For reference we have the maximum package with HD, 3D, Sports, Movies etc.

are there any January deals like this? Sky are being firm with the 50% offer only

Tried Live Chat and calling them up. They insist this deal has expired and are now only offering 50% off Variety Pack with no credit, but also no minimum term. Told them I can't accept that offer when people received 75% off! Think I'll just leave... Haha. D;

Not sure they're offering 75% off anymore as my dad tried and couldn't get more than 60%

The service app was offering me 50% off with 14 of 31 days notice remaining.
Clicked on Services of my sky remote. and
Would you Adam n eve it, in My Account there was an offer of 60% off my TV.
Took it as there is no guarantee of the 75% off and credit.
BTW binned my Sky broadband n phone and taken Virgin fibre unlimited for £18 a month, 12 month contract , no phone.

Hi are people getting up to 75%off their whole package it just TV

Iv done it on live chat as phone up and was very rude keep my Internet but my cancellation notice is on for the 2nd of June how long should i wait before going back on live chat and what should I say thanks for the help

Hi Mate,

I used this.. https://secure.sky.com/mysky-comeback/

Thanks, and report back how you got on

I have always done well with renewal deals (last year paid equivalent of £15.16 pm (£23.50 pm, plus £100 credit)). Just tried with a few advisors and whereas previously I get different offers from different advisors, they're all sticking to 50% discount and no credit. This is £444 per year instead of £182. That's half price, can't believe some people must be paying £888 per year. This is for Movies, Sports in HD, and whatever the full TV package is called these days (minus add-ons like MUTV, etc).

I'm wanting to know what deals people have been getting since the start of this year. Don't think I've ever paid 50% unless I've received credit as well.

We are leaving on the 6th, just did live chat and didn't get anywhere

Are people still having luck with this?

If I join and then cancel will I get the offer

I got 60% off after I cancelled. But now my sky box keeps playing up and sky won't budge from the 12 a month for the sky q box, anybody had any discounts on sky q?

I used the online chat this morning, I pay nearly £60 a month for variety/hd pack, phone and broadband, best they offered me was 40% discount and to tie in for 12 months. I said no and so my cancellation date is end of Jan. Can I haggle again now? Or is it best to wait and go through the "left sky within 12 months" process?

Cleverguy12...thank you, tried the online "left sky" and my inclusive bill of tv, phone and broadband has now been reduced to £34 a month with a £50 account credit! Maybe not a big a saving as some people get but I am very pleased with that! Thanks for the tip:-)

I understand the first 4 *'s but the second 4 doesn't make sense as surely it would need to be plural? I suppose it could be nobs.

**** off. why are you even on this? we're all here to help each other but **** like you always have to ruin things for other people

​I called them up to cancel then I went on the 'come back to sky' live chat and they offered it to me. How this helps :smiley:

Some people don't deserve discounts to be fair.

OK. I called them up and put in an early cancellation notice so it shows as a pending cancellation until the 12 month contract is up. I've just been on Sky chat and re negotiated 60% off and £50 credit but the clever thing is, I'm not tied in to any contract so I can cancel at any time! this is great as I can just give another cancellation notice after I take this out and I'll have £50 for free! :smiley:

I cancelled my sky TV,phone and broadband yesterday with cut off date 8 Feb for all. Not heard anything from them yet. When I go to chat it always asks me to log in first and when I do and then select accounts and billing it says, i am already cancelling and to ring up if I have any questions. I dont get the chat option how are you getting it?
I have Variety, HD pack, normal broadband with the £7.5) for unlimited and cinema. Best they would do is £71. I would love 50% off and would take it.

sky won't let me cancel early for some reason. I'm only getting 50% off and won't even let me join sky Q without paying £12 extra a month

I cancelled sky two days after cut off they offered me 8mths free then 11.40 a month for next four months...I had been paying over £70 a month...offered me 75% any thing else I might upgrade...told me to ring back in month 11 and they will give me same deal next year

Not sure why people pay for Sky these days when there are so many cheap or free alternatives. FreeSat from Sky with a Humax PVR with HDD then either a Openbox with "free gift" or Cline or Kodi with Exodus sideload.

Not sure why PVRs are even necessary, just change the way you watch TV.
I now watch everything on demand via BBC iPlayer or NowTV so no need to record, same channels I as what sky offer at a fraction of the cost. Can always get really cheap offers on the NowTV passes and you can cancel them and buy them as you want the content so only buy sports when good games are on and I get BT sport free with my broadband. All legal and reliable. Sky has had its day.

Would people say that £15 for a Sky Q 1TB box & installation and then £10/month for the original package is an okay deal?!

I got everything free for 12 months by saying the only thing that would bring me back to sky is if you gave it to me free. He said okay then!

I recently signed back up to sky.

75% discount
£50 credit
1 month rolling contract.

In total I pay £20.90 for the complete HD package

So do I just phone up and threaten to leave and ask for 75% discount and £100 cash back? I'm sick of paying £50 a month for the basic package

Cancelled Sky this month after going up from £22 to £44 and the best they offered me was £36 pfffff, balls to them, bought a Nexbox for £40 with Kodi on it, Sky box has not been switched on since, bye bye Sky.

If it's any use, a mate of mine has written a guide on getting Sky as cheap as possible

http://www.detoxcomic.com/articles/how-to-get-sky-cheap.html

Also, binned Sky in Dec, but have already sunk £40 into 12 months of NowTV, so unless Sky offer me theirs for free, they're not beating that.

Me three

Any advice on best way to get sky Q, or Sky 2TB box if you're already on full (except sport & phone/broadband) package?

I just did the online chat option and got offered 60% straight away. Got this bumped to 75% just by asking. After a bit of inane chat was offered £50 credit. Got this bumped to £100 by asking again. Was pretty easy really.

Does anyone know what the security questions/details they ask are when you use online chat? I'm going to try this on behalf of the Bill payer. Thanks

no new box but 75% off and £100 credit with no contract woohoo

Online chat wouldn't budge on 75% off and £100 credit, best is 60% off and £50 credit supposedly.

I have had my sky boxes for almost 9 years and am sure the are about to give up the ghost. They have been trying to get me to come back but I said the only way I will return is if they give me new boxes and they have flat out refused - is it worth hanging on or will they never give me new boxes I wonder....

''On the third day of Christmas
Rupert Murdoch gave to me,
100 sheets and discounted sky tv''

I went back online to chat and asked for £100 account credit (not expecting them to) after 5mins £100 was credited to my account!! (Also I am still out of contract which is a big bonus)

Got rid of my Sky + and Sports for which they charged me £71 pm, now have BT with their sports for £3 pm.

Thanks for the reminder of this, had so many arguments with people on here who point blank refuse to believe that 60-75% or better Sky deals are available.

The key, folks, is to Actually Cancel and then see what happens, we waited until the 30 days were almost up and got (from memory) 60% off our package and £100 credit which was the best they were giving at that specific time (changes week to week).

These deals are simply not available unless you cancel. Yes btw I hear the Kodi etc comments, we do have an android box, but for about £15pm the faculty to record Sky Sports and know for sure sport can be watched instantly is worth it for us anyway.

My last deal (60% discount for 12mths) l was cut off for a few hours. Went to "come back to sky" and told them what I wanted

I got 75% off for 12mths with no new contract and £100 credit

I think if you buy a good quality PVR with a decent HDD then they can last... maybe ive just been lucky but we have had the same Humax for 6yrs+ now and it hasn't skipped a beat.

I also dont mind paying for some, high quality content, pay per view... but Skys model is 95% rubbish content for a ridiculous monthly payment.

Think this is going to be my last year with sky, BT sport is taking almost everything, might just make kodi my go to app

Just tried,was told it expired on the 19th. Funny as I tried before for 75% off and was told it expires on the 31st and you must have been disconnected.

There is a massive ongoing thread in misc on this, best to keep an eye on what's the current offers. And normally you don't sign up to a new contract, make sure you don't.

​Ok thanks I'll give this ago.

so our router died, and sky want me to pay for another. WTF. They take take and take, but never give. I wish it was my contract, i cancel them., and do this. My parents are either lazy or neive

When you cancel do you keep all of the equipment including sky box and any recordings? And then when you take out sky again do they just connect you back on their end and all of your equipment works as it did before?
Thanks

will never trust sky again took me ages to get out of contract on freesat now with movies direct stream from internet it only costs me 26quid a month on bt which i got 230 cashback lol

Have you a link to the sky
forum ?

it's been posted a few times before but still good to remind folks. I left them for 48hrs then came back with this deal. £9.50 a month for a year and £100 credit on my account
