Sky has expanded its Sky VIP loyalty programme, offering a range of free benefits, discounts, and experiences to its TV subscribers. The programme, which is free to join for all Sky TV customers, provides access to weekly treats, cinema tickets, sports subscriptions, and shopping discounts. These rewards are managed through the My Sky app, where eligible customers can claim available offers.
The latest updates to the Sky VIP programme include partnerships with major brands and retailers, providing free food items, streaming content, and access to sporting events. The initiative aims to reward both new and long-standing customers with tangible benefits that enhance their subscription experience.
Free Weekly Treats and Food Offers
Sky VIP members can now claim free food items each week through a partnership with Sainsbury's. The retailer supplies "Taste the Difference" pizzas and ice lollies, which are available to claim via the My Sky app. Sky has confirmed that nearly two million of these freebies are available for distribution.
In addition to the Sainsbury's partnership, Sky is providing free pizzas, ice lollies, and snacks to subscribers. These treats are rotated regularly, with new offers dropping every week. The introduction of these food-based rewards is part of a broader strategy to provide daily value to customers.
Free Cinema Tickets and Movie Rentals
Sky VIP continues to offer two free Vue Cinema tickets every month. This existing benefit remains active alongside the new food and retail offers. Furthermore, Sky is providing a free film rental every week via the Sky Store. The initial offering in this weekly rental scheme is the movie "The Bad Guys," which became available from 14 July.
Sports Subscriptions and Event Tickets
For customers who subscribe to Sky Sports, a significant benefit is included: a free 12-month subscription to The Athletic. This sports journalism platform is provided as an exclusive reward for sports package subscribers.
Sky VIP also offers access to over 100,000 sports tickets. These tickets cover a variety of sporting events across the UK. In addition to sports tickets, the programme provides access to "experiences" such as tickets to top UK attractions, exclusive cinema screenings, VIP lounge access, and "once-in-a-lifetime trips."
Retail and Shopping Discounts
Sky has secured partnerships with several popular UK brands to provide shopping discounts to VIP members. The brands participating in this scheme include: * Puma * Hearst * JBL * Purdy & Fig
These discounts are accessible within the My Sky app, allowing customers to save money on products from these retailers.
How to Access Sky VIP Rewards
Accessing the Sky VIP rewards is a straightforward process. The programme is free for all Sky TV customers. Customers who possess Sky TV are automatically enrolled in the VIP programme. To begin claiming rewards, customers simply need to download the My Sky app. Once logged in, the app displays the available weekly treats, discounts, and tickets.
Helen Kloepfer, Director of Sky VIP, commented on the programme: "The new Sky VIP reward programme is our way of saying thank you to our customers by giving them more of what they love. Whether you’re new to Sky or a long-standing customer, there’s always something exciting waiting in the My Sky app that makes every day a little better."
Additional Entertainment Benefits

For new customers, Sky Essential TV provides a package of top-tier shows from Sky, Netflix, and Discovery+ for £15 per month. There is also a promotional offer allowing customers to upgrade to Sky Ultimate TV for an additional £3 per month.
