Your post is unclear. Are you after a package (for which product?). There is no specific package for over 60's.

If your current discounts have ended you can contact Sky to try to negotiate a new deal or potentially amend your package which will now require a 24 month minimum term contract. Sky are not obliged to offer you another discount, in fact recent posts on here indicate that significant discounts are no longer being offered. If you’re offered something acceptable be prepared to agree to it there and then because if you decide to think about it the offer may no longer be available when you call back.

You can either call Sky or use the following link

I have dipped in and out of stream several times (owned puck) and the first two times the return contract was at full price.

This time I managed to get a deal on what they say is a 24 month price but on a rolling 31 day contract.

With Sky since 1999 and well over 60 years old.

Result !

@Seaforth

Sky does not set pricing based on either age of the subscriber or 'years of service'.

Why are you advertising a package for over 60'd, when I enquired apparently there is no scheme available, yet you state in sky commuity that there is a tv package for over 60 years of age

Where? There is no package specifically for over 60's.

There's a thread in the community asking about packages for over 60's. It does not state there is such a package...

Never heard of Sky doing an over 60s package, or any other kind of age related package, apart from for students. But anyone not already in contract can try to negotiate a discount, regardless of age.

Good afternoon hello GOLDS here I've been which guy 26 years and my age is 72 years of age I have never had any packages for the over 60s there is help for those people who are on pension credit can get I believe a deal but for people or on normal state pension not at the moment you have to negotiate when you are out of contract, it would be a good thing because there's a lot of people on the new state pension or losing out totally because they aren't on pension credit sky has always been good to me. I've always had good deals. I don't know if that's because I talk to the right person maybe at the right time but I think it's a good idea. PS I had a glass TV when it came out first time. I had a few problems but basically it's brilliant and I'm looking forward to see what the others will be like.

never

heard of a 60-year-old. Never

@Ryan1012

If your discounts have ended call Sky and negotiate. There's nothing specific for older customers.

If you’re no longer in a discounted minimum term, or its ending soon the best new discounts are normally acquired by calling Sky and negotiating or potentially amending your package which will now require a 24 month minimum term contract. Sky are not obliged to offer you another discount, and recent posts on here indicate that significant discounts are now harder to come by. If you’re offered something acceptable be prepared to agree to it there and then because if you decide to think about it the offer may no longer be available when you call back.
