Sky Half Price?
 
Well, you'd not be suggesting that you can, simply that you have enough channels for free. Seriously, it's worth a try, but you have to call their bluff.

Do you know anyone for whom this tactic has been successful?

No, but it would be worth a try... what's the worst that can happen?
They get angry spouting expletives and before slamming the phone down
tell you you're banned from ever having Sky again?

Sounds like a win to me!

My latest three month half price deal ends in a month, so I need to
cancel. However, usually when I ring they say 'have another two months
half price', but starting from the day I call. Is this going on at the
moment does anyone know?

And yes, i know I'll find out if I ring, but I want to know if it has
been offered to others just in case they say no

cheers

Would you like some free heroin from a friend of mine?

His best offer was 2 months @40% off. It's better than nowt and means i
can watch the cricket from India in march and April.

Clearly their billing system is not amended, but they have taken so
much **** over it they now have a diary system where a manager goes in
every day and applies the discount to the account on the last day of
the previous offer so that I do indeed get a full extra 2 months.
