OPTION 1: If you want 75% off your sky tv, follow these simple steps.
1.Put in a request to cancel your sky ( they may initially offer you 25% off or even 50%, don't listen just proceed with cancelling)
2. You may get calls offering you 50% or less, again stick with cancelling.
3. After 3 weeks call the offer phone number 08442 411 914 OR 08442 410 973(NEW NUMBER- OLD NUMBER NO LONGER ACTIVE) if you do not receive the leaflet offering 75% off. I tried it, and it works.
Please note, some mobile providers charge a premium for 0844XX numbers, if this is the case, download the WEQ4U app, you'll then be charged the local rate.
The app is available on Android & iOS
You can also get multi-room half price. Do not mention this when you take up the 75% offer, call them back after a day or two. But when you do call, say you received it in the post, I tried this and I got it immediately.
NOTE:
Sky advisors chat total crap! They just want to convince you that the price they offer is the best. When you get the initial call of 25% off they wont budge! It's as though they have convinced themselves that is the best you are going to get, don't listen and proceed with cancelling! The 50% off department will be next. why pay so much extra, just wait 3 weeks and get 75% off!! Best of luck! In a way, you wont be left without any sky if you do this on the third week of cancelling. It's about time existing customers got better deals than new!!!
It doesn't cost sky anything to enable the signal to your box, that's why they can do this so cheap as they have been for years.
nexus76 is in his 5th year of doing this!

IF YOU CAN'T WAIT AND WANT 50% OFF:
Thanks to dazren :
Cancelled and one month later just got a card through today offering 50% off for 12 months (any package) plus 6 months free Sky Go Extra (need to cancel this part as they will charge £5pm after the 6 months are up otherwise). Call 08442 411 192 and give code CL32A. Hope this helps someone
UPDATE 18/07/2015. Many people are having great success when attempting this. Some are also being offered 60% off the full tv package including HD, £100 bill credit and 10 pounds off line rental plus free broadband! It obviously depends who you speak to but it just goes to show that there is plenty of flexibility to get some cracking offers! Best of luck

sorted by15 years with Sky (Diamond VIP), end of each contract I cancel and wait for the offers during cancellation. Sometimes I go through with the cancellation for a period of 4 weeks or so.
(Sky Q 1TB) Sky Signature, HD, UHD, Netflix add on (premium), Sky Sports full package
£38/ month for 18 months. No admin fees
(Previous contract period was £37/month for the same package)
timeline of offers: £89/£64 [cancellation notice]/£54/£47/£43 (call from win back), £38 upon calling them in week 3 of cancellation. I could probably have shaved a few £ by holding off and taking the cancellation but I've got a load of stacked recordings so took it!
I put in my cancellation on 25th March. During this time I made multiple attempts at getting a deal via chat and telephone but all offers were rubbish and still very expensive, best I could get in all was £40 signature, multiscreen, netflix premium and HD/ultraHD which I declined. After a few weeks I received one letter and email offering sky signature and cinema for £26. That was the cheapest deal I got but not what I needed so I let my service cut off on 25th April.
Today Sky phoned me and were more flexible on price and willing to negotiate a deal. This was the first time they called me. I was given HD, signature, Netflix standard (free with sky HD) and multiroom for £27.50 / 18 months + £50 credit to my account and £10 admin fee removed.
This is by far the best deal I have been able to get in the last two months so I decided to accept.
As others have said the best deals come when your service has been fully cut off but only if sky phone you themselves.
There is also potential for an extra £50 if you set your direct debit from Halifax and use the Halifax reward account scheme, must activate the Halifax cash back extras sky offer for £50 cash back.
Just play the waiting game and you should see a good deal come your way! (edited)

Cancelled less than a week ago bill was going from £59 upto £119 got offered £82.
Had an email for £71 yesterday.
Had a call today was offered everything for £57 took kids off anyway as we don’t need it so was £54.
Future bills have come up at £49 Winner.
Don’t know if being a diamond customer helps, but that’s the best deal I’ve seen for a while.
After negotiation I have agreed to another 18 month contract for £50 per month TV. This is for everything except Kids.
See the image beneath for an example of offers applied to my account:
Hopefully this will help give you some guidance?
Good luck all!
Sky Signature - £11.65 pcm
Full Sports Package - £12.00 pcm
Credit to my account - £20
Admin fee - waived
Hope this info is useful to people currently negotiating.
Replying to
Sky signature £19
Ultimate add on/netflix £5
Sky sports in HD £6
Cinema £7
HD £4
£10 admin fee. £41 all in was a little more than I wanted to pay but you have to gauge how much your time is worth I suppose. Guy at sky also confirmed that the best he could do with bt sport was to take £3 off so £25 a month, he recommended trying EE or plus net as alternatives to gain access so I think he was genuine.
after receiving the text to get in touch with them about a new offer to retain me as a customer, i left it a week and have just been on the chat with them.
This is what i was offered
Signature - £17 (reduced from £34)
Sky Sports HD - £14 (£38 - does anyone really pay this amount?)
Sky HD - £5 (£9)
Ultra HD - £1 (£4)
Ultimate TV add on - £7 (£7)
Multiscreen (i have 3 boxes) - £10 (£15)
BB Ultrafast - £38 (£43) - I'm currently paying £32 for this and the contract ends in Dec
Admin fee - £20
TV Total = £54
BB Total = £38
Total =£92
Told them it was still too expensive and remarkable that the new offer puts my BB up and not down and there's no discount on the Ultimate TV. I said i wanted to be around the £45 mark for TV and sub what i'm paying now for the BB.
The response was that was the only offer that they could do.
So, thanked her for her help, wished her a nice day i left the chat.
I'll see what if anything happens from here on in but i'm getting iot in the neck from Mrs Imavillan who's starting to go into panic mode
The TV price would be good for me, the only addition would be the kids bits
I've basically got Signature, Sports full, HD/UHD, Kids and Multiroom for £52 which based on my maths and your info would be £52 plus whatever they say for kids which would be £2/3? I would take that.
I will give them a shout on chat this week and report back here...
You'll always have to pay a termination if in contract.
My approach to Sky Neg has always been (I think) pragmatic and based on the following:
1) No Admin Fees - they're meant to make you 'happy' that you secured a cheaper deal, when in fact you're already agreeing to secure THEIR revenue for 18 months. Admin Fee - Just say no.
2) There are many options when it comes to viewing now - they no longer have a monopoly over the TV, this is to your strength and their weekness.
3) Remember, they can now hike costs in contract, so what you agree to 'today' will almost certainly be more expensive in future months. Build that into what you consider a fair price.
4) When the deal isn't right, walk away. Forget the fear, forget 'missing out' and all the other emotive language used to encourage you to sign on the line - when a good deal lands (and sometimes that only happens after you post back the box!) you'll know it, they'll be happy you came back, you'll be happy at the price.
5) And to repeat no.4 again, if the deal is not good enough - just say no. (edited)
- On cancellation, I was offered the above for £53 on chat. I declined and entered the cancellation period.
- They called me 9 days later, this time offering it for £52.
- 4 days after that, I received a text with a link to chat. £51 was the offer this time. After pushing the agent came back with £46... for two months, a saving of £10 across the contract. I politely declined.
- Between these dates, I received two emails totalling up to £45 but not including the Kids package (which I think would have taken me back up to the £51 mark).
- A week later, I got the Black Friday email with a total of £46, this time not including Netflix (which when added is back to £51).
- 3 days before cut off, I received an email offering signature for £21.
- 2 days before cut off, I got a text with the cut off warning and from the number given was offered £50. I went on to chat to ask about the packaging to send back the Sky boxes and was offered £51. The agent wasn't budging in the slightest "no problem, you can take your decision" etc.
Apart from the very first offer, all the offers had an admin fee of £10-20.
I've never got to the cut off stage before, as I've always managed to get a deal by that point (chat has usually been pretty successful for me, but they were worse with deals than the phone team this time), but I let it end and waited for them to get back to me. After 6 days, they emailed me another Black Friday deal, this time for £43 without Netflix. I followed the Come Back to Sky link and the chat agent was hilarious. He came back with £59(!) for my package, insisting it was an amazing deal. I sent him a screenshot of the email and he said I could have it for £43 if I removed cinema. Eventually, we got to the point where he said it'd be £49 with Netflix. I pointed out Netflix was currently cheaper on their website for Black Friday but he insisted £6 was already a discount (it wasn't) and they'd given me the biggest discount they could (they hadn't). While I was still on chat, I called the number on the email to see what they could do.
I got through to a really nice agent, and after 40 odd minutes on the phone, got the package down to £47 a month, with the first 4 months of Netflix free (so £42 for those months), £20 credit for the week I didn't have Sky, no admin fee and an extra mini box included for free. I know I could probably have got them down further but it wasn't too far off the £44 I was paying before, and I've spent enough time going back and forth with Sky so I accepted.
Sorry for the long winded comment, but that's me done for 18 months until this whole haggling circus starts up again - good luck everyone!
If you miss some Sky shows you get get a Now TV pass, but you probably won't need it with Netflix and Disney+ and all the other catch-up apps.
I’ve renewed Sky Q for another 18 months at £47 pcm, or as I also asked for and got a £25 credit put on the account, it’s equivalent to £45.36, or £1.50 a day. I've the 2TB Sky Q box plus three minis which I'd previously negotiated for free from Sky.
I’d received an email saying my contract was ending and my current £46.75 deal would increase to £81, and when I called them to negotiate they offered £70 as their best offer. So last Monday I gave 6 weeks’ notice, and on Wednesday a guy from ‘Loyalty Stay’ team called and offered £56, then £49, then came down to £47 to get close to the £46.75. I also asked how much UHD would be as I didn’t have it and he said as I had Multiroom he could add it for free. Interestingly he didn’t present the deal as listed above, but as Signature £17, Netflix £5, Sport & Cinema £14, HD £4, Multiscreen with UHD £7. Ultimate includes Netflix of course, and in UHD.

I used to comment on here and over on the mse forums quite a bit but have been quite busy recently.
Put my notice in 5 weeks ago and due to disconnect on Sunday.
I am currently paying £24 for sig, hd, kids and Netflix. Quite an OK deal.
I was offered £30 when I gave notice but its just too much of a jump. I've observed best prices on this forum for ages and I would only stay with sky if it was the same £24 or less - and that is not going to happen.
So, I'm off to bt TV as I have my broadband with them.
I currently pay £34 for 150meg fttp, and renewed at £36. You might think this steep but I cannot tell you how many times I have had bad mobile phone signal but have been able to connect to a bt WiFi hot spot. Plus my broadband has only gone down once in 2 years - when we had a power cut.
So for the TV. £6 for the bt TV pro box includes now TV entertainment and Netflix, £4 extra to make Netflix in HD, £6 extra for the now TV in HD.
Total £16 - £8 less than sky.
Running absolute total is £6 less than sky. Sure I will be stung with 2 price increases, but I would have been stung with 2 with sky anyway.
Doubt the bt box will be as flash as sky Q, but eventually I'm sure we will get used to it.
Guys, use bt TV as leverage during the negotiation.
Gave them a call yesterday evening after getting a 'review your options' text message and got through to a really friendly chap. Instantly matched my old price to include the rise in April and added in UHD for good measure + £20 credit and no admin fees.
Was tempted to wait until I got cut off but F1 is back on that weekend and honestly thought it was a good price considering it's already factoring in the yearly price hike.
We were paying approx £60ish but at the end of the 18 month contract bill increased to £90ish
After cancelling and during 31 day period we had an offer via letter of :- £41 for Signature/Sports/Cinema + £10 Multiroom + £4 HD
After being without Sky for a week we have received an email offer of :- £35 for Signature/Sports/Cinema + £10 Multiroom + £4 HD
Not sure if that helps anyone...
"Sky Signature £15
Ultra HD £2
Multiscreen £7.50
Sky Sports - Complete Pack £10
Sky Cinema £12
Sky Kids £2
Sky HD £5
That would be a new monthly total of: £53.50 in a new 18 months contract after 18 months it will go back to the standard price
Your offers will start today and are for [18] months"
I hope this helps the rest of you with your haggling - see you all in 18 months!
Been with Now Broadband for a couple of years now. Sky supply their bb so you shouldn't see any difference really. Router isn't that good but that's the same for most providers. I use a mesh network from BT so not too bothered.
It's cheap and reliable, I've not had any issues or reasons to call them.
Tried on Chat just now and was offered:
Signature at £12 (that's a £20 discount with an 18 month contract)
HD at £4 (that's a £4 discount)
Bringing your TV total to £16 with a one off £10 admin fee added to your next bill.
Needless to say, I agreed. Never had such a good deal - seems letting it disconnected was the key to that.
It did yes. Gold VIP member for 7 years on my app and main account page once again.

Once you get to speak to the people at Sky who can access the genuine offers my experience is they juggle the current offers to come up with the best overall package price; this has meant for my new 18 month deal some items such as Signature, Cinema and Sky HD have gone up, but the others are cheaper or free. My aim was to get them to match or lower what I was paying for my old deal otherwise I would leave Sky - and I had given them 6 weeks' notice of leaving when they initially couldn't.

I have decided to go to BT for my tv as my broadband was already with them. They’ve offered me:
150mb broadband £29.99
Big sports (TNT & Sky Sports) £25
HD £6
Extra Box £10
= £70.99
Pretty happy with this deal. Just hope I get on with BT’s boxes. (edited)
I did it in July and all that happened was the Netflix cancelled and you’d log in and it will ask for card details to restart you’re membership.
If you have read their terms and conditions, I am sure you will be able to give them as much notice as they require. If the T&Cs say that they require 30 days minimum, then you could effectively give that notice as soon as you take out the contract. Whereas if they say in the T&Cs that you have to give 30 days' notice and you tried to give them notice at the start of the contract, they could argue that, that isn't giving 30 days' notice and so you would need to give them a full 30 days before the end of the contract.
Either way, this is not legal advice and you might want to read the terms and conditions of the contract before purchasing. Although, who actually reads the T&Cs? I know I wouldn't normally unless I am inclined to do something that I could end up with an early termination fee for the services provided.
with all these silly offers and lack of any kind of willingness to negotiate i cant help feel that theyre trying to wind down the satellite side of things.. theyll wait until the customer base hits a certain point then theyll say to their share holders... "its not worth doing anymore lets just concentrate on sky glass " theyll stop taking on new sky q customers and try to push everyone over to streaming when their contracts end. its cheaper for them in the long run... no dishes, cheaper boxes... no engineers needed to do dish or sky q installs... theyll make an app for smart tvs like netflix/disney etc and cut their workforce down..
Signature
Sky cinema
Ultimate TV/Netflix
Sky HD
Ultra HD
Multiscreen

Netflix (£6) free for 4 months

With the way energy prices are increasing they should be desperate for your custom, I am into final 30 days and all set to leave and cancel TV license because from April on with bills rising, I need to cut back to the minimum just to be comfortable. But I will be toying with Sky this time when they do phone with no intention of rejoining for revenge with the amount of my time and stress wasted negotiating in the past
