How do I get a good deal as a new subscriber to Foxtel?

Hi Guys. I need to sign my mum up to Foxtel and currently Telstra have a the cheapest plan. She just needs all the entertainment and movie channels and no sport. I prefer not to deal with Telstra as have had issues in the past however, Foxtel have advised that they wont price match. I know in the past I have managed to negotiate some great discounts by threatening to cancel my account but as a new subscriber (my mum) do you have any Ozbargaining tips on how I can negotiate the best price and offer? Thanks in advance.

    Foxtel won’t price match as they aren’t allowed to being half owned by Telstra.

    I like foxtel now, not sure if thats something you can use. I've had to call up Foxtel only once though and felt they were horrendous to deal with, personally I wouldn't feel comfortable going with them on any sort of plan but thats me.

    Use the JB offer. $20 month. Still Telstra though

    Thanks everyone for your great responses. Unfortunately, mum is not very technical and used to her Foxtel so wouldn't have a chance getting her to use Netflix or anything else.

    Get them to price it up for your address, then say its too expensive at the last minute. Wait a few days and they'll call back with a better offer.

      This should work I usedto work for them in that dept saving sales from cancelling. I don’t know about now but we could do almost anything to save the sale.
