He just rang up to see if he could get a deal on sports so he could watch the rugby and asked for a deal on sport .

They recently raised the price of the Sport package by $5, from $42 to $47 which gave a lot of people a reason to think (42 just sounds a lot lower, 47 is so close to 50). 

 

Especially if you're already paying $26 for Sky Starter and $15 for My Sky recording feature, two things that really shouldn't be charged for separately. Seeing $47 for Sport on top of that would've made a lot of people want to call up, maybe to cancel Sport.

 

And it seems like they have a good deal ready for such callers, and seem to be offering it to people who didn't already have Sport as well.

He keeps it only as a recorder, tried Apple TV, other recorders. The Sky one is just so easy to use . Gets rugby on for ab season then cancels . He’s pretty happy he got the deal

Interesting, I've been a former Sky customer for a number of years and never got a call like that 😕

I've been an extension subscriber for about 6 months and last month got an email with the 50% offer. However I have signed up for SSN and don't need it, although the offer doesn't end until end of September.
