Thanks for escalating this. We’ve sent an invite to chat.

Hi @Apex 

A private chat was started but there was no response within 48 hours so it has automatically closed.

If you still need help with this please let us know by posting on the forum again and we will get it escalated through to us.

To Tom, at sky.

What about the others who have the same problem? When are sky going to send some Comms to explain what went wrong with your system in early December that's locked people out from their account when trying to use the MySky app?  This impacts people of significant length of service and as a result we cannot utilise it or partake as sky VIP,s.   So ironically your are now penalising VIPs for being such!  So, how do you think that will pan it for future customer retention?

@jerry+wiseman 

I have escalated your post as well.

@jerry+wiseman  Your other multiple posts across different threads have been removed including your most recent one you raised after getting a reply here to advise your issue has been escalated to Sky.

Creating multiple posts in this way can be seen as spamming and is against the forum rules

[jerry+wiseman]

• I could say the same to you about spamming me each week with nonsense replies.  Just sorting it out and we can all move on.

[GD1]

@jerry+wiseman  I'm not sure what replies your referring to but you do realise we are all customers here, I don't beleive I've ever spammed your or the community with nonsense replies.  Feel free to point these rep,ies out?

BTW as this IS a customer helps customer community plenty of people will reply to posts.  That is not spamming.

I still have the same issue. Currently on hold to Sky again but feel more hopeful this time. I have talked with three operators today but the last one is looking into I hope. I would like to enter the competitions and see my rewards or book a VIP lounge. The operators manager is now liaising with the MySky app team. I have flagged its not just me but many of us as they say they haven't heard of this before. Mine worked fine for 7 years. 

It's annoying that the other threads are being deleted as this fuels the fire that no one else has this issue. 

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, cleared the cache, 

logged in via sky.com, I was even asked to download the app onmy daughters iPad and log in there and no difference. 

[jerry+wiseman]

My apologies. I see a number of supposed escalations from people purporting to be from sky, my assumption was that you were one.

You are though removing my posts.   So off to X then instead. 🙂

Regards

[jerry+wiseman]

Yes, there is an edict to delete threads to create the impression it's not a big deal.   It happens a lot. ( A great number of threads dating back to 2022 when I first started looking  early December seem to have gone, unless I'm just not looking properly)

I'm afraid you are unlikely to get a proper response. I've had an official complaint lodged for weeks and they admit that they simply cannot get the app/it team to respond.  Very strange

@jerry+wiseman  Creating duplicate posts is unhelpful more so when you've had a post about the issue your experiencing escalated to a member of the Community Messaging Team who are Sky staff.    Any Sky staff are labelled as such.
