One Sky customer reveals an easy way to make very big savings. If your Sky TV bill is making you wince then you might want to try a clever tactic spotted by one savvy customer of the sattelitte telly firm. Journalist Sam Cooper, who writes for Nottinghamshire Live, was about to be hit by a massive price hike due to his current contract coming to an end.

Having taken a trip to his local shopping centre and seeing some of the price cuts Sky had in its store, Sam said he felt the need to try and negotiate a better deal.

Thanks to an instant connection made via Facebook Messenger (you can also use the live chat on Sky's website), Sam was able to send a note that said he wanted to cancel and it wasn't long before Sky's chatbot had patched him through to a 'loyalty expert'. After around 10 minutes online and with screenshots of the deals Sam had spotted sent to Sky, the firm came back with a new offer of £93.50 per month - that's a saving of over £65 on the price he was about to be faced with.
