How much financial support does OOF get from Sky, in exchange for this promotional stuff?

 

You'd expect Uncle R could buy us a new server or 2

I'd've thought so. This "I'm doing you a favour"  free advertising rather taints the site IMHO.

I think it falls the right side of the rules, because tunnie (presumably) makes nothing from it, but is able to pass on valuable discounts to those that can make use of the offers.

As much as I dislike Sky, many members here have found it very useful to have access to these discounts.

So I don't see it as "advertising" for Uncle R, I see it as discounts for our members who wish to take up the offers


Does that make sense?

But...

For the record, I get entered in to competitions if I refer people.

I've given discounts for a number of people, so far I've saved OOF members in excess of £1.5k

Some have contacted me with very, very poor installs, due to contractors. I have raised it internally, got people out within days & had the installs done right.

Recently I do get some vouchers but I need to refer a number of people, I've also been PMd a number of times asking when I get more discounts.

So I like to think I'm doing a good thing, as I save people a considerable amount of money.

You don't have to read my threads, if you are not interested in Sky then why read?

Looks like personal and corporate gain to me.

Here's a question...
My daughter currently payss for the Sky in our household because at the time she was the only one who wanted it. However she is moving out in a couple of weeks and will want to cut off her contract in order to take out a new one at her new addy.

Meanwhile SWMBO has got used to having Sky so she wants to take over the package herself.  We have been told by one of the sales chaps in the local shopping centre that a contract cannot be transferred from one person to another, so we will need a whole new contract.

So... do we qualify as a new customer?

[tunnie]

I've always said I get entered into competitions, not won anything. Vouchers wise, yet to make any money from OOF referrals.

What's the difference between what i do and people posting discount codes or cashback links?

You just can't please some people

Sadly no, it's based on surname at the address, is it possible to resubscribe using a new surname at the address?

What happened to me... I never advise people to ignore things as it makes winding people up much harder

Not really, its not like he gets gains from it, so (again, from my personal opinion, not as a member of Admin Team) its not like he's selling. He gets a chance to win something, but I doubt he does it for that slim chance of winning a prize.

Going on tunnie's maths, probably 5 or 6 people have taken it up. Hardly any corporate gain.  Yet the benefits on offer/available to our members is worthwhile.

Speaking as a member, I'm glad this is available to us, even though it doesn't interest me.

I should also clarify this is to established members only, I'm not giving codes to people who joined the forum just 5 mins ago & not even posted on the forum 

This is due to rules for me as its "friends & family" only, I'm not in it to signup random people.

See, I don't get the negativity. If your not interested, why post?

I am interested. Or was. I took up Tunnies offer last time round, and am very thankful to him for it.

Nice on Tunnie, and if he gets a benefit too, we're both happy.

Win win.

Because some people like having a moan and a dig
