Earlier in the year I purchased a 2 Month Cinema pass from Currys PC World. Just before I redeemed this, NOWTV applied a 6 months offer on Sky Cinema Pass which meant the monthly cost was less than what I had paid for the voucher. I therefore decided to let the offer go ahead and saved my shop voucher to redeem at the end of the current offer.
However, NOWTV have now applied another further 6 months offer to my account, meaning I am now unable to redeem my voucher again without cancelling the Sky Cinema Pass and leaving it expire before applying the voucher I have. I have therefore re-applied the offer in my account so the deal continues. But I am now in a position where I have a £15 voucher I can no longer use. It will expire before the end of my current Sky Cinema Pass deal because shop bought vouchers are void after 12 months.
So because of the deal that's been extended on my account, I am essentially going to be worse off following this deal because of the unused £15 voucher I bought. Why can I not apply my 2 Month Pass now, and then have the "new" deal kick in AFTER the 2 month pass has expired?
Very annoying as the money saved from the "new" offer will be wiped out and more if I do not apply the 2 Month Pass before it expires in March and I will have essentially wasted £15.
Anyone else experienced anything like this?
My only option as I see it is to cancel the Cinema pass, and let it expire (it expires in just over a week), this will in turn cancel the new offer. I can then apply the voucher I have bought.
We wouldn't have this issue if NOWTV's Direct Debit prices were in line with the shop vouchers you can buy instead of being much more expensive. I have never known a pay as you go system that is MORE expensive if you pay by Direct Debit.
