Half Price Offer Continues

AlabasterLyn · 02-01-2008, 09:20

I see from the VM website that as soon as the 31st December half price offer ran out they changed the date to February! I guess not as many people are taking up the offer as they had hoped.

More likely they always intended to extend the date but wanted to get as many in before 08 as possible

Or they are getting a good response and it makes sense to continue the flow

Well I'm glad they have continued the offer as I just couldn't make my mind up by New Year's Eve as to whether to go for it or not and in the end decided to wait awhile. I think I will see what kind of picture I get when my new TV eventually comes

Your joking. From what i heard from someone at Kelly's they have been run off there feet with all the installs and at one point ran out of boxes.

I dont have an HD ready TV but took the offer in December and would recommend it just for the recording abilities.

I'm seriously tempted. Trouble is I gather you have to pay up front which means I'd have to get hold of partners card to pay for it or it would end up coming out of my money

No you don't. you have to pay via Card. only in extreme circumstances (and with a manager authorisation) can you have it billed

Sorry...not so..

..I was offered the option to pay when ordering, or on the next DD...chose the DD and have just paid it...3 weeks after install..No managers discretion involved.

Like the above poster seem here. I have also heard this across various websites.

BenMcr · 02-01-2008, 18:13

I'm not saying it isn't done, I'm saying its not supposed to be done. You can't just ask for it. You are more likely to be told no you can't more often than yes

Anyone who does do it without asking for a managers authorisation are breaking the rules of the offer

We are on the VIP package and not only have we got the V+ for Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£75 (with asking the same person twice to make sure we would not get charged extra because we are on the VIP package) but also with it automatically (as far as Im aware as I never rang up) going straight to the bill. Ive also heard this many times over different forums which seems to suggest that, they are just doing it on the bill.

Infact from the Virgin website in the terms and conditions, it states -

"Payment may be required in advance."
