Sky TV Gives Away Raft of UK Customer Freebies During Lockdown
Customers of Sky’s (Sky Broadband) UK services are being offered a “collection of freebies” to help keep them “entertained, fit and to help with home-schooling during lockdown,” such as free Sky Original films and free access to Apps that are designed to keep your mind and body active.
The operator claims that “all Sky customers will be able to benefit from these perks, so long as they’re enrolled in the free VIP scheme” (via the My Sky App), although so far as we can tell most of the “perks” require you to have access to their Pay TV (e.g. Sky Q) platform and thus the word “all” should be taken with a pinch of salt.
Lyssa McGowan, Sky UK’s Chief Consumer Officer, said: “Whether it’s working from home, trying to home-school or looking for ways to stay entertained, we know life is challenging right now. That’s why Sky is giving our customers a little lift with a range of perks designed to help make things a little better, like free movies and access to educational and fitness apps.”
