VR6 0 Posted September 25, 2012 Might be a long shot but I'm about to join Sky as a new customer ... In a typical case of bad timing, they've literally just stopped an offer for half price subscriptions for a year. Doh. So I was just wondering if anyone works for Sky, or knows someone who does that might have a spare friends and family code?? Or any other nice little incentives that I could snaffle for that matter. Figure if I'm getting locked in for a year, I might as well make the most of it! Cheers in advance :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VR6 0 Posted September 25, 2012 Smart ass :lol: Why the hell not though? I'd rather have £350 in my pocket than theirs. I'm only asking as a bloke on the MLR forum is an engineer and has loads of friends and family vouchers (half price for a year) that he's just giving away. He just bloody ran out though!

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 25, 2012 £350!! Is that how much it costs?!? Jesus. Thought it was a tenner a month or something!! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted September 25, 2012 Lol ... close Kev! A full HD package is about £62 a month! If I can get that half price for a year, or a free 1tb box, I don't mind giving a few handjobs here and there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 25, 2012 £744 a year for a load of cr&p TV? :lol: Wowzers!! I'd rather spend £62 a month cheap Blurays from Amazon :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WigsVR6 0 Posted September 25, 2012 That s why I gave up my subscription. The cost is madness. If you can get it for half price then its just about worth it. I look at it as paying for my insurance for my car and my partners. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted September 25, 2012 Aye - hence the request really. I've been a customer for years (in my ex's name) so finally cancelled that and looking to get a good deal for a 12 months hopefully. Problem is on the Isle of Man you only have 2 options: Sky or Freeview. Have to admit, if it wasn't for the Sport/high def channels, I probably wouldn't bother at all.

VR6 0 Posted September 25, 2012 Balls. One day too late! Wonder if it's something they'll run again soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR-OOM 0 Posted September 25, 2012 There'll probably be offers going up to Christmas. If you're going to wait then PM every so often and remind me your looking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted September 25, 2012 Cheers, appreciate the offer. Do you work for Sky then? Wonder if it's worth trying to blag it on the phone? :grin: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BILLCOR 1 Posted September 25, 2012 Cheers, appreciate the offer. Do you work for Sky then? Wonder if it's worth trying to blag it on the phone? :grin: Yes, blag it, finished or not, they want your cash and usually give you some sort of deal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Human Joist 10 Posted September 25, 2012 If you get a referral you and the referee both get £75 voucher for M&S or similar. Just done this with my sister. I don't mind referring you lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted September 25, 2012 Cheers HJ ... I know they do that but I think at the moment, for new customers they offer £100 M&S vouchers just as an incentive anyway, without needing the referral. Obviously the referral helps though, £150 vs £100. As long as it's a 100-50 split ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Human Joist 10 Posted September 25, 2012 Go for the 100 and that pays for your Christmas dinner from M&S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted September 26, 2012 Good plan, although that wouldn't pay for my Xmas morning drinks :lol: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Human Joist 10 Posted September 26, 2012 I know the feeling. A bloke at work got me on to Christmas port the other year. Without sounding like a 32 going on 50 year old it was good advice now. Have an expensive bottle of 83 vintage readying for the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
