Sky Friends and Family deal thread! Now with, er NOW deals!

[MissChief]

@MissChief Just wondering if you could give me some guidance. I've had +HD for 5 years and play the cancellation dance in November every 12 months - usually getting 50%. I'm interested in sport in UHD (sport is all I have Sky for) and noticed the Q upgrade offer you mentioned.

Is there a way for me to continue with a discount and easily upgrade? Am I right in saying I'm likely to be offered another 12 month discount but, if I upgrade, I'd be tied in for 18 months - leaving 6 months at full price? Cheers for any advice.

Pretty much as you've said. You'll be tied in to Sky Q for 18 months, yes.

 

[MissChief]

Is it possible to get Sky Q with a 2TB Box, Original package plus complete Sky Sports bundle

Yes. But you can't get Sports in HD without the box Sets bundle

 

[MissChief]

The £40 deal has EXPIRED, the only one I have atm is 50% off Original, Variety or Box Sets. (£11, £16 or £19pm respectively)

Hi Misschief, could you please give me some advice, my girlfriend has just moved into her own place and taken Sky Q 1TB and a mini with her, she'd like to get BBand with Sky as well. She'd also like a extra mini box and I think only the 2TB can have 2? Any ideas what kind of a deal she can expect with adding BBand and getting a 2TB box to enable a three boxes? She has movies...I guess she'll not get a deal but thought I'd ask...

Thanks,

You're correct in that a 1TB box can only use a single Q mini box at the same time. However, if she's going to only be using one mini at a time then you can have two Mini boxes. Broadband offers are usually decent but no codes I can really provide. If fibres available she can get unlimited for £25 inc line rental.

 

[MissChief]

@MissChief Sorry for another question, are the discounts for 12 months on an 18 month contract?

Discounts are for the length of the contract.

 

[MissChief]

@MissChief is the Sky Q upgrade from the original post still available? If so, is that the 2TB UHD box? So the install cost would just be from the Mini?

Correct. But you cannot have multiscreen at the moment.

 

[MissChief]

Thanks mate

I’ve gone through the “Personalise your bundle steps” from the email I received (thanks BTW ). I can’t see where it confirms if the SS channels are HD or not even when specifically selecting the box sets bundle.

You will need to specifically add the Sports HD Pack. Not sure if it's later on or not though.

Hi Misschief, my sister is moving from Virgin to SkyQ so couple of things if I may (And if you have a spare code, that is...) would the refer a friend still count if it's my sister? And
do we have to place the order via the website or on the phone

Many thanks mate

The person I send it to doesn't matter and it can be entered online or over the phone.

 

[MissChief]

Awesome, of you have a spare code I'd be grateful for it, or I'm happy to wait for it

Many thanks

Trust message you must send me, hmm?

 

[MissChief]

Hi @MissChief , you kindly gave me a code for sky Q a little over a year ago, worked a treat but now we are paying the full price. Are the any offers currently running you could help with? I can sign up in my partner's name to be a "new customer"

Thanks in advance

You'll likely need to pay from a different bank account and obviously I can't condone or support such actions.

 

[MissChief]

just in case you missed this @MissChief

I didn't. Sent a code yesterday. Check your spam/trash folders.

 

[MissChief]

Hi MissChief

Just wondering if you can help with Sky Broadband and TV deals?

Thanks

Bailey

Nothing specifically for friends and family on the broadband side but there's usually a deal of some sort on. To side, at the moment, is just the offers in the first post.

 

[MissChief]

Hiya you sorted me out a code a while back but sadly since then I've split with the missus and have my own place.

What are the codes like this time round?

Only what's in the first post at the moment.

 

[MissChief]

That's ok.

Can you trust email me

No but you can trust email me!

 

[MissChief]

Are the codes in post 81 gone?

Yes, only offers are what's in the first post.

 

[MissChief]

all done buddy

Received, will sort a code out tonight when I get home.

 

[MissChief]

Hi, been on a deal with everything except Sports bundle on Sky for 12mths for £47. Just seen today (my error contract up), ive been charged £103 for this month.
Anyone have a good offer for current Sky deals for existing owners or is it a case I need to pop back over to Virgin who are offering similar for £55pm with BT and Sky Atlantic thrown in?

There's no available deal you can just sign up for, you'll need to call and play the cancellation dance with Sky.

 

[MissChief]

Any deals if I've got multi room and want Sky Q? Or do I need to call up and haggle?

Call and haggle I'm afraid.

 

[MissChief]

Hey there. Wondering if anyone could give some advice. I was offered to be introduced to sky by a family friend deal from a different broker called Abca Systems which I have declined. I was enquiring mostly about the SkyQ UHD box. They said they would only offer it if I take out a multi room subscription. I only have a single TV in my house so is it possible to take out without having a multi room sub?

In order to watch Ultra HD content you do need the Sky Q Multiscreen subscription at £12pm however there's no real requirement to take the Mini box.

 

[MissChief]

I have a code available that can give a free 2tb box and half price mini (£49) but only if you don't have multiscreen already. It ties you in for 18m on the MS as well so be careful your offers don't stop while you're in contract as your bargaining power is significantly reduced.
