With 2023 F1 season just days away……..

[Saskia]

Come on NOW TV time to put some realistic offers out there…pretty please 🙏🏻

[UncleZen]

Update. I got a 6m offer for £20 today. And a reference # to return after 6m for the 2nd 6m for £20 

So thats me sorted as I seem to be the 'invisible man' when it comes to their email marketing.

Bring on the new season.

[Saskia]

@UncleZen Hey that is good news! Enjoy the F1 season and yeah bring it on!

[F1FanDan]

By email or in My Offers?

Now are having a laugh, aren’t they?

[RoyB]

Asking only for a discount,

I come looking for F1,

But I get no offers

Just a come-on at full price 

from down in Isleworth….

[UncleZen]

@RoyB do what I did, have a chat with CS rep via chat, be polite, mention that loads of ppl have been offered the £20/12m offer, and that it's all over the community,  specifically mention F1 and see how far you get. See my post above about my offer.

[Saskia]

Hi @RoyB if you don't get lucky with the first CS agent then try again. I find the majority do try to help, Good luck!

I've got the same problem - I did "the deal" last year, but haven't received an email this year, nor do I have a similar offer that covers the whole F1 season in the offers section when logged in to my account.  I have the marketing preferences etc. switched on (if that really does make a difference).

I've talked to two CS reps, who were both very polite and helpful, but none would budge on offering anything other than a 6 month deal.  Both said I'd have to wait and see if I got an email.

So - I'm just crossing my fingers now that I will get an email soon, but I'm not overly hopeful...

[Saskia]

@c128 hi, I was told by a helpful guy on Live Chat that the 12 mth offers are going out until 2/3/23 so keep checking your email.🤞

[Coopd]

Still no deal in my inbox!

For those like me who apparently aren't getting an offer this year, you could always try this:

• Wait until the 3rd of March to take out a subscription.  If you don't activate it until the 3rd, it will neatly cover the first 3 race weekends.
• Make sure you cancel it before it renews at the end of the month.
• If you don't get a decent retention offer on cancellation, don't re-subscribe until the 28th of April, the beginning of the 4th race weekend.

If I've calculated that right, 7 months will then cover the rest of the season.  So 8 months in total instead of 9, saving you £35 (or £41 if you're paying for boost too).

It's still a stupid amount of money though and I don't think I'll be doing it.  I really hate having to play this random offer game every year in order to be able to watch the sport I love at anything resembling a non-rip-off price.  I'd rather not have to rely on Channel 4 highlights but it looks like I might have to this year.

[Saskia]

Hi @Ant42 totally agree, it is a rip off esp as like you I just want F1. Each year I get Christmas over and look fwd to the F1 season ahead but then dread starting the NOW pricing/email game. I hope the emails continue to fellow F1 followers in the next 48 hours…good luck 🤞

[SOrion]

Yes same, I’ve not got an offer yet either and have done the last 2 seasons. The offers should be available to everyone, not relying on hopefully getting an email which appears to be dished out randomly.

I looked at Sky stream which has a £20 a month offer for 18 months which I would consider if it wasn’t £26 on top for the base package and then another £12 to watch it on more than one tv so unfortunately now’s price of £35 per month is still cheaper. 

[gejandcj]

Looked into that also, but as you say that extra £26 is a killer, when there is very little on that you would want to watch.

[UncleZen]

Although I mentioned earlier, that I now have a 6m offer. I am still not in receipt of the offer that others are getting either by email, or in my offers; £20/m for 1yr. And FP1 starts on Friday. 

So there is something odd about how and who they decide to market this to. 

Ive been a member since 2017 when F1 went behind a pay wall and have  used now TV since then. And if they look at what I watch (they will have this info) they will see I only watch sky sports f1. So, the whole offer thing beggars belief.

[Mattd]

It's an absolute joke, I won't be paying £35 plus boost...it will be IPTV option for me or ch4 and instead of getting £26 Inc boost a month sky will get sweet FA from me. How does that make good business sense for sky who knows after 5 years of f1 subscription. Poor customer service sky. 

[gejandcj]

After the post earlier really started looking at Sky Stream a little closer, to see what is truly on offer, trying to find enough content on the rest of the package to warrant the extra £14 - ( we already have a netflix subscription)

Finding it hard though.

[SOrion]

Yeah I pay £4.99 a month currently for the entertainment package via now and that’s all I think it’s worth tbh. Btw I have tried Stream before but found the hardware to be lacking, pretty slow UI etc. it may have improved now tbf as it was about 4 months ago. The issue for me was needing to watch at different addresses and having to rely on the 720p stream on sky go app which isn’t acceptable for £12 a month extra. 

[Hawden]

£21 a month for 12 months + 1 month free boost at https://www.nowtv.com/watch-f1-online. This did not appear in my offers, nor email.

[F1FanDan]

Omg thank you! Nothing in my offers or via email for me either and was about to give up hope.

[c128]

Looks like I'll have to go for this too, as I've not received any other offer.
I need boost too, which is free for a month (as in last year's deal) but has gone up by £1 as well.
So for the 9 months of the season this year's deal works out as ( £21 x 9 ) + ( £6 x 8 ) = £237 or £26.33 per month.
The deal last year worked out as ( £19.99 x 9 ) + ( £5 x 8 ) = £219.91 or £24.43 per month.
This year's is £17 more in total and effectively £1.90 more per month.
