3 months of Sky Cinema FREE. NOT!

I logged in today to cancel my entertainment pass as I am not watching it. After going through the cancellation process, on the last screen after turning down the offer of entertainment for £3.60 for 3 months I was offered Sky Cinema for FREE for 3 months.  Obviously an offer I could not refuse. So I took up the offer. 

 

I then checked passes and vouchers which showed I would be charged £4.80/month !!?!?!

 

I took this up with now TV chat but got no joy. Can someone from now TV team assist?

 

Now (03/10/2019, 13:16:23): Thanks for contacting NOW TV, you are talking to now. How can I help?
null (03/10/2019, 13:17:16): Hi I cancelled my entertainment pass today. At the end of the cancellation I was offered sky cinema for 3 months for FREE
null (03/10/2019, 13:18:11): I accepted the offer, but when I checked in passes and vouchers it said I would pay £4.80/month from 19 October
null (03/10/2019, 13:18:45): Can I get sky cinema free for 3 months?
Now (03/10/2019, 13:19:25): Hello, Good afternoon.
null (03/10/2019, 13:19:52): Hello Now (03/10/2019, 13:20:43): Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Let me get this checked for you and help you accordingly.
null (03/10/2019, 13:21:34): No problem
null (03/10/2019, 13:24:22): I have cancelled the cinema pass.
Now (03/10/2019, 13:25:16): I cannot help you with a free voucher, you can avail the offer you have received or I can help you with another discounted deal.
null (03/10/2019, 13:27:10): No thanks. I was offered 3 months of sky cinema for free. Unfortunately I did not take a screenshot, but would it be possible to let whoever set that up know it does not work.
null (03/10/2019, 13:27:23): Thanks

Funnily enough I got this today, so in the end I got the three months free...

 

Hi Brian,


Ref: 05794711

 

Thank you for your patience in allowing us to get back to you, and please accept my apologies for the delay in response. 

I can see from previous correspondence that you had contacted in regarding an offer that you were unable to claim. Whilst we have not been able to verify the offer, due to the time it has taken to resolve this I would like to offer to provide you with a 3 month voucher code to avail of The Sky Cinema Pass for free as a gesture of goodwill. 

Please let me know if you are happy to accept this as resolution to your complaint and I will supply the voucher on return. 

Kind Regards

Three months I have waited for a response. 28 replies to the thread.  A case escalated and no reply. Chat in denial and stating there are no free offers. Are we all liars? Why would we lie? 

 

Will someone from NOW TV team respond?

Hi

 

I had exactly the same issue when declining an offer for 3 months cinema. It offered a free 3 month pass. I contacted live chat. They also advised that they do not offer this. Then I got the same email saying we have not heard from you. Then a few days later had an email saying they do not offer this

 

I've told them as they have called me a liar or maybe even that I can't read j will not use there services again

 

I'm going to email this thread link to them to show it's not just me

I am having the same issue.

The Customer Service agent was not aware of any offers. I am about to be charged £4.80 in January and I only accepted the 3 month offer because it was FREE !

 

First 20 seconds it said

Next payment date:19 Jan 2020

What you'll pay then:£0.00

 

But then I checked again LUCKILY and it said

Next payment date:19 Jan 2020

What you'll pay then:£4.80

 

So the offer only worked for less than a minute!

 

I already have a voucher for 1 month free so why would I choose to pay?!? This is ridicilous , can someone from NOW TV please check? Thank you

Yes, the Customer Service agents say there is no offer like this and yet the system is still offering it to customers. I just read on another forum that another customer has been tricked into signing up for the "FREE" 3 months and then the charges changed to £4.80. This is outrageous !!!

 

STOP THIS OFFER AT ONCE as it looks like a SCAM.

I have had the same issue and have been charged £4.80. I'm afraid I don't agree with the NOW TV's representative in only cancelling the offer. I have taken a screenshot!! and I would like someone to refund the £4.80 and reinstate the 3 month offer. I suggest that null may decide they should have the same?

 

Can someone please assist and action the above?

FWIW I never got an answer

 

@Anonymous User Can you paste the screenshot onto the thread.  It will prove the offer was for real.

 

Can someone from NOW TV Team answer?  @Nadine-K   @Karl-F
