Another good offer to come back to Sky

Cancelled Sky subs about 3 months ago after being a loyal subscriber for 4
years - the calls from Sky to come back started within a week, but held out
for a better offer - think what I got today was good -

Free Sky+ box and installation within 4 days
£25 credit to use against PPV events/movies
First three months subscription at 10% off
No new contract to sign (ie. no new 12 month tie-in)

Apparently if I cancel, at any time with a months notice, the Sky+ box is
also mine to keep.

Not bad!

Sounds good - although I would check the contract to make sure that last bit
it not BS.

It will be yours to keep from the minute it arrives in your house. Sky
don't rent hardware.

Not bad!

Indeed, but I'd've preferred £25 hard cash, not "credit to use against
PPV events/movies".

I am not sure they have the ability to ring-fence account credits. Likely
they just put it on your account and want you to think it is for
movies/events.

Indeed and good advice. Make sure when the installer arrives you do
not sign anything that relates to a contract period. Cross out if
necessary!

I would be surprised is the info provided was anything other than bad
salesmans tactics - with the onus being on you to prove what was
spoken.

Put it another way. If this is correct, you can cancel after day one
and sell the box. Does that sound like something $ky would leave
themselves open to?

Hopefully for your sake, they have!

Ive just cancelled my sub, after being offered a free sky+ box and
install. If the box was new or a refurbed new model, I would have
taken it. As it stood, they could have supplied one of the old boxes
with limited recording on it. Not what I wanted!

Been with Sky for 7 years on the 21 quid a month package[we can't get
Freeview or a decent analoque signal here in the Borders] so we have
to go to Sky.
Are you saying if I cancel they will come back with an offer to
replace it with Sky+?
I suppose if I cancelled and they didn't come back I could always go
back to them.
Also their receiver has long since died so if they do install Sky+
will they demand my receiver as I've just bought another new one.
Appreciate any help.Thanks

Forget all I have said! yesterday I phoned up to cancel Sky,whilst on
the phone I was offered a new[12 months guarantee] Sky+ box no
installation fee,all set up and running for the price of 49Quid.
I also reduced my payments from 21Quid to 15 per month.
It's poss others may have a better deal but I'm pretty happy with
that.
It's true I know nothing about Sky+ but 40 hours recordingon a HDisk
will do the job for me.Regards.

Fair enough.

Good man! That's the main benefit - you're giving them £72 a year less,
and I bet you won't notice the difference.

I will! it will buy a new putter!Regards

Was it the loss of the USPGA Tour golf events which prompted you to
cancel? Those events were my main reason for subscribing in the first
place so I may strategically cancel.
