Sky TV: 50% Off Voucher Towards 12-Month Package With Optional Sports and Movies Add

Cape Clear

Let the games begin.

Just off the phone with Sky they have billed me €51.75 for the 1st month and are demanding €41.75 is paid being package less €10 deposit and .75c cc fees. I'm not having it. Also have an issue with the installer who drilled 3 holes in my wall one to anchor his ladder, one for the cable which I authorised and 1 over a window board which I only discovered when he had left. I'll be standing my ground against these guys!

Edit:
SKY have been back and have agreed to only charge the €5 for this month. I have also pushed them not to charge the 0.75c cc fee we will see what happens in 2 weeks time.

I've been on the "Friends and Family" discount offer from Sky for the last 12 months. This month by bill jumped from 47 euro to 94 euro withou notification from Sky.

I know i know, it was a 12 month offer yada yada yada, but they send you an email every day for new shows, least they could notify you that your bill is going to double! Anyway, I called upto cancel today and 3rd November is my cancellation date.

Can my wife sign up for 12 month discount now as a new customer? Has anyone tried this?

I have UPC broadband so i'm fully intending on moving to UPC unless I can get a discount from Sky.

Was this through the Groupon or Car Phone Warehouse offer?

Cape Clear

Through the CPW deal. Still have a spare groupon if anybody needs it!

My installation was done yesterday. Today I took out the new box because these new boxes are a disaster no rf out for magic eyes that I have to all my bedrooms. I called sky to complain waste time but they paired my card to the old box instead of the new one. I asked was there any reduced price offer for my spare new box to be added as a multiroom he checked and said no. The extra box would be €15 plus a new sewerage contract would have to be done. I was wondering if I'm contemplating a multiroom sub I might be better off to instigate it now as if I did it in six months time they will nab me for a longer contract and also nab me for the highest non reduced prices

Did they even acknowledge that you're on the 15 euro PM contract with them?

Did anyone who cancelled their order get the 10 euro refunded.

For me they offered the same price per box i.e 15 euro but still had to pay the multi room extra per room.

Give them a ring and they will sort it out. Happened to me and they were very good about sorting it.

Just called CPW and the Sky offer has been extended until 12th Oct!

Is this just the half price Sky Sports offer or is the Variety bundle for €15 pm offer also extended until the 12th of Oct? Cheers.;)

Lucky guess here but he called Carphone Warehouse so probably that offer...

Any who cancelled the order you need to ring to get a refund

ct5amr2ig1nfhp

A few people who I recommended take the carphone warehouse offer all appear to be being charged 51 EUR on their first bill. Is anyone else seeing the same? I better give SKY a call.

My letter quoting the bill was right.; €30 for variety pack and multiroom ., didn't mention the €10 deposit refunded though so will see when it comes!

I've just had the same issue, charging me €15 for the HD pack + standard charge of €36 for the variety, so total bill comes to €41.
Having read back through this thread before I signed up, I was aware that this had occurred with a few of the new customers so I mentioned it to the guys in CPW after signing up. They said to get in touch with and they would sort it, think I'll pop into them first before I start dealing directly with sky.
Unwelcome but minor inconvenience all things considered, it really is great value when you factor in the on-demand stuff that you have access to. There's a lot more boxsets that I'd give a watch than I previously thought they had.

bren2001

Anyone confirm that the CPW deal has been extended to the 12th? Only been mentioned once in the thread that is has. Don't want to make the drive in to discover it is finished.

silverwood

I've a 50% off groupon voucher that I don't need if anybody wants it. It expires tomorrow. it's €9 but you get that back in your first bill.

Sneachta

Don't see why not. I signed up for a Wicklow install in a Dublin store.

Yeah, same here. Rang them yesterday and they credited my account.

Stiro05

Happened to me too. I called sky on sunday and they said the cpw offer was pending on my account and they would contact me when it was sorted. They called me yesterday to confirm that the bill is amended and will be €15 per month from now on. Cannot fault their customer service.

Ps I have found a way of calling sky for free. If you go to golden pages and search "sky" you will see a button to call for free. All you do is put in your number and your phone will ring. Answer as normal you will be connected to skys automated service.

Wicklow is a bit closer to Dublin though... I don't know many people commuting from Limerick to Dublin on a daily basis! Still I'll pop into liffey valley today and check it out, if they can they can, if they can't they can't!

Anybody know what documents they need? Proof of address might be tricky as we only moved in last weekend!

anyone still have a group on voucher. I am interested.

Doesn’t matter - the shop don't do the install or have anything to do with the install. All the shop do is call Sky for you, hand you the phone and you arrange all of the installation details directly with Sky.

Don't know what commuting anywhere has to do with anything, you brought that up.

Berberis

You don't need to call into a CPW store.
Just ring sky direct and say you seen the offer while out shopping yesterday and do you have to go back to the shop to sign up or will sky do it for you there and then.
Thats what I did and they signed me up pronto

Grawns

Heads up! When phoning their rotten 0818 number, tell them you're short of credit or something and they will ring you back. Not mentioned on their website but a rep told me it was unofficial policy as I ranted about their so called lo call number when activating the groupon today.

Signing up for sky in a Dublin store for a Wicklow house would be a bit more common than a Limerick one as people tend to commute from Wicklow to Dublin, that was the point I was making!

As the shop has nothing to do with the install is a moot point.

Got it earlier today so it must be running for a while longer at least

bren2001

Got it this morning in Clerys CPW. Girl in the shop didn't know much about it, sky were not great help on the phone. Only got it when I showed her the sheet attached earlier in the thread. She had no idea when it was over.
