BT TV: NOW, Netflix and Freeview box for £6p/m (expired)

*It looks like BT has pulled this offer 24 hours early*

This offer from BT for new and existing customers with BT Broadband is pretty good. For £6 a month for two years you get:

Basic Netflix (rrp £6.99 p/m)
NOW Entertainment (rrp £10 p/m)
A BT TV Box Pro box to record free-to-air programmes (similar boxes sell for £180 or more)

Over the two years you’ll pay at least £144 (prices will go up in March each year by inflation plus 3.9%). You can upgrade to NOW Boost (£5 p/m) to get HD viewing and no adverts, and you can also add Sports or Cinema passes on a month-by-month basis.

And you do need to factor in the cost of the broadband on top – BT might not be the cheapest deal which could undo some of the savings.

Ends 14 April 2022.

NORDVPN deal stack

A VPN is a service which lets you access the internet privately or browse as if you were in another country (it’s how people watch iPlayer overseas). For a day or two every month or so, Quidco offers 100% cashback rather than the usual 70% or 80% on a two-year NordVPN membership. This is worth around £68.

A quick extra hack – VAT is added on top and cashback doesn’t cover this. So you’re looking at paying around £14, though I know some people have said they’re based in the US or Guernsey to avoid this.

Remember if you do pay in a foreign currency it’s best to use a card that won’t charge a fee. Plus, don’t forget if you’ve not signed up to Quidco yet you can get up to £17 extra back on your first purchase! More on the latest new member deals here.
