Correct. Fan Pass is completely separate from any Sky subscription you may have.

No. That's the purpose of it, plus if you dont have Sky Sport but you have Sky you must be able to get it. I have Sky Sport so not eligible for Fanpass (obviously), but they still send me these emails for some reason, hence my post

Just got an email from Sky advising that they are unlocking all channels to which we don't subscribe for the period from 6am 24 December until 7 January 2019.  So things like Movies, Entertainment, Sports, SoHo, Rialto etc.  On Sky Go too.

My first thought was I got a scam email mirroring Sky’s site to capture my CC details... Because I can’t complain about this deal! I love T20 so will be giving this a hoon.

sdavisnz: sky is sort of a neccessary evil if you love nz rugby.

but i hate there business. they run there business like a monopoly.

i wish i could subscribe to HD rugby via an online service through them but they dont want to know.



So glad I find rugby terminally boring.




Here is my Quic referral https://account.quic.nz/refer/39513 if you are keen to change ISP and to get free setup (save $29). I will get a $50 credit if you use this.  Thank you very much if you use my link but I'm sure there are quite a few others who could share the same on here, no hard feelings if you use a different link.

I also got the email from Sky and read the "Sky direct" fine print. If I don't get the free channels, I will be rather annoyed. A marketing fail as far as I am concerned...

Such would be the price of buying through a wholesale provider vs through the retailer. The email is pretty clear so it's hardly a marketing fail. Still got a few days to switch from the wholesaler to direct, or at least call Sky to clarify....

I call it a marketing fail because 90% of people don’t read the fine print. They just see the headline, and they will be annoyed if it doesn’t happen. Why send the email if it doesn’t apply to me? They must know that.

Inability for people to read the fine print cant be put on anyone but the reader.  

 

Maybe they sent it to you cos they want you to move to being a direct customer.  I'll admit that if this was their intention then it would be marketed as such - "switch across to us and get 2 weeks of all channel access".  But semantics.
