Free Sky+ Box or 1/2 Price Sky HD Box

[Parkdude]

Hey,

If this kind of post is not allowed feel free to delete it. I don't even know how good a deal it is as I got my Sky ages ago now, but I know I paid £150 for my Sky+ box.

Anyway, received a letter from Sky today saying:

"Make a friend smile with a free Sky+ box, and we'll give you £50 M&S vouchers."

You can also get £75 off a Sky HD box.

If anyone's interested send me a PM.

I take it your "friend" has to be a new customer?

Yeah, I have had a couple of these through the post, has to be a new customer, not a returning one.

I have seen stories of people geting free sky+ via threatening to quit to Virgin Media (though they have been Sky customers for a few years)

Always look out for the stands in shoping centres as they always seam to have better deals going than the current ones on the sky website to.

My dad's friend got a free HD box (though 10+ years of all sky sports and movies a month)

I tried to leave virgin as moving to a non virgin area and they were jumping thorugh hoops trying to get me to get their phone only service

i got offered sky hd from sky itself the other day for £99 and free installation
basicly i asked how much to swap to it , they said £150 pluse £60 installation, so i basicly argued bartered etc n finally went to retentions to cancel it (which i didnt want to do) they asked why so i explained that im cancelling it and restarting in my misses name, they went on with the spill about same address n name etc which here bank cards are in here maiden name still as soon as i told them this they said still cant do it , so i said if i was moving someone cant come in to this house n get sky for a year to which they replied yes of coarse they can. after a while they went away and came up with the deal, since this 2 of my mates have down it etc, ne way i didnt want sky hd as setanta isnt on it n i wanna watch the blue square prem in hd n nothing else.

i know u wont understand this but i knew what i meant hehe

Threatened to leave virgin for sky for their bb and we got a good discount + upgraded to higher BB + TV and unlimited phone + £50 credit for a new router which wasnt needed. All good, worth a call if they refuse the first time...try again! I think the idea is to sound serious by stating why your moving, not just generally say its a better deal on the alternative. State the charges and the additional features etc - makes you sound serious!
