debuted in Poland on Tuesday, February 14. The new American platform immediately started with the promotion and offers subscription for PLN 12.49 per month (standard fee is PLN 24.99 per month). Unfortunately, the first technical problems and uncertainties related to the promotion appeared at the very beginning.
SkyShowtime and the “forever” promotion. How to get it? We read the regulations
The website informs that you can take advantage of the “forever” promotion if you have successfully completed the registration process by April 11, 2023 on the SkyShowtime website (or March 28 – SkyShowtime gives different dates in different places).
Some Internet users pointed out that it is not possible to take advantage of the promotion by registering through the application. It turns out that the promotion is available, but only when registering via the website. This we only learn, where it is emphasized: “Please note that you must register on the SkyShowtime website in order to take advantage of this promotional offer. This promotional offer is not available if you register through third party platforms (including the app store) )”.
However, in the “” tab we read that you can take advantage of the promotion even if you have registered through the SkyShowtime application. To do this, you must first make a purchase and pay the full price (PLN 24.99 per month), then contact the customer service team. SkyShowtime explains that in this situation the platform will return 50 percent. amount paid and apply the promotion to your account.
The platform also notes that the standard fee may change “with at least one month’s notice, with free cancellation before the change comes into effect”. What does this mean for users who take advantage of the “forever” promotion? “If the standard fee changes, the promotional price under the ‘Half Price Forever’ promotional offer will be 50% of the new standard monthly recurring fee that applies to your SkyShowtime subscription” – we read in the regulations.
We’ve reached out to SkyShowtime for comment on the matter. We are waiting for answer.
“SkyShowtime did not make a perfect start on the Polish market”
Unfortunately, this is not the end of the problems. Some users claim that the system does not qualify them for the promotion, while others had problems with setting up an account and connecting a payment card via a smartphone, according to the website.
Some users do not hide their disappointment. The new streaming service hasn’t made all the episodes aired in the US available, and some classics and 4K content are also missing.
– SkyShowtime did not make a perfect start on the Polish market, but when we look back at the debut of other platforms in our country, it turns out that each of them faced similar problems – said Mateusz Zaczyk, head of the Filmozercy.com portal in an interview with Wirtualna Polska .
– Once it settles down in Poland and strengthens marketing activities focused around the promotion of its biggest series premieres from the “Yellowstone” universe, or other high-profile cinema novelties like “Top Gun: Maverick”, it will turn out to be a serious competitor for several streaming platforms – judges Zaczyk.
