Sky introduces 'Sky VIP' rewards program for loyal customers

In a blog post, Sky has announced a new VIP loyalty program, aptly named Sky VIP. The longer you've been a Sky customer, the better the rewards become. As such it's the first time-based loyalty program we've seen - in the TV and broadband sector, at least.

So what are the goodies? "Hundreds of thousands of free tickets to all customers", for a start. These include events like British Masters golf and Premier League football.

The longer you've been with Sky, the more benefits you get - like preview channel Sky Atlantic VIP, which will show some new shows 24 hours before they're on Sky Atlantic, free set-up for Sky Fibre, free Sky Go Extra and free Sky Q set-up, as well as priority customer service.

If you've got Sky, it's worth booting up - all customers get a free welcome gift of a Sky Store movie, so even if you've just joined its service you can get a little extra.
