Sky TV subscribers have access to a range of complimentary benefits and trial offers across entertainment, streaming services, and food delivery platforms. These perks are typically managed through the My Sky app under the Sky VIP section or are automatically included with specific subscription packages. Current offers include free cinema tickets, extended trials for streaming services like Apple TV+ and Hayu, and automatic inclusion of Paramount+ for Sky Cinema customers.
Free Cinema Tickets and Discounts
Sky Cinema customers are eligible for two free Vue cinema tickets every month. These tickets are valid for any Sunday to Thursday screening at Vue locations across the United Kingdom. To redeem this offer, subscribers must access the My Sky app, navigate to the Sky VIP menu, and select the "Your Vue Tickets" tile to receive redemption codes. Codes can then be used online or at the cinema.
Additionally, Sky offers a weekly freebie via the Sky VIP section of the My Sky app. The specific item varies weekly; for example, a Sainsbury’s Taste The Difference pizza was offered during a specific weekend period mentioned in the source data. Subscribers are encouraged to check the app regularly for new weekly rewards.
Streaming Service Trials and Complimentary Subscriptions
Sky provides several options for accessing premium streaming content without additional cost.
Apple TV+ and Hayu Trials
All Sky TV viewers (including Sky Q, Sky Stream, and Sky Glass customers) can claim a 3-month subscription to Apple TV+ and a 3-month subscription to Hayu. This offer includes access to 10,000 hours of new shows on Hayu. To claim, viewers must act before the specified expiration date (originally April 14, 2024, in the source data). After the trial period, subscriptions renew at the standard monthly rate unless canceled.
Paramount+ Inclusion
Sky Cinema subscribers automatically receive Paramount+ as part of their existing package. This provides access to a library of movies and series, including new releases such as Stags, Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Dating Naked UK, and Quantum Leap (Series 2 Part 2). It also includes access to the film Bob Marley: One Love and the comedy thriller Self Reliance.
Sky ReWatch Campaign
During specific promotional periods (referenced as May and June in the source data), Sky made 100 boxsets and 2,000 hours of content available for free to Sky+, Sky Q, and Sky Go subscribers. This content was accessible via the on-demand section of the Sky box without requiring a subscription change. Note that Sky Essentials customers were excluded from this offer.
Sky Store Movie Offers
New Sky customers can claim a free movie (up to a value of £20) via the Sky Store. This is accessed through the Sky VIP section of the My Sky app. Once claimed, the movie can be watched repeatedly. Furthermore, Sky Cinema subscribers can download and keep the movie Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again for free.
