Has anyone ever managed to get a discount or something for nothing when talking on the phone to them? They have told me everything is a 'set' price and wont seem to budge on it

I asked them if they could even price match with another company and was told the prices are set in stone

No...SCGB discount can apply on certain Crystal charter flights (if a member, of course)
Crystal have there own incentives, which can apply...like discounts on L/Pass; Ski Hire and Spending money in certain hotels.
It used to be cheaper to make the booking online (online discount), but don't know if that's still the case.

In about 10 years with them... Nope. Not even an offer, future discount or anything when had cause to complain 
But catch it right and, as above, you might get reasonable deals on carriage, hire, tuition, lift passes etc.
Book online or phone, no difference ( except if you want to make special request, or want a combined double carriage and pass, neither of which you could do online last year).

@NewSki, if Crystal won't price match the same package, can't you just book with their competitor?
Best deals with larger TOs tend be very early booking or later booking. Typically, by previous July, or within a couple of weeks of departure.

Nothing beyond their normal deals, but some of them are pretty good. Even booking with less than a week and poor conditions I was told price was fixed.
Just keep an eye out for what they've got on, last week think they were offering £100 per person.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Also consider using Quidco to make your booking via if using the likes of Crystal or Neilson. They normally offer a few % back in cashback which on a family holiday may pay for an evening out.
If I refer you then I of course get a little kick back for those not using the site. Mods I hope mentioning this is OK? If you're not signed up then message me and I'll send a referral.

They have had a few £100 off offers over the last few weeks. Sign up as a customer and get the marketing emails.
Last year we booked with them and got 1/3 off a lift pass/ski hire or carriage deal, which resulted in some pretty big savings. The sales teams seem to keep their deals pretty close to their chest - i tried to ask them on the phone 'if a better deal was coming next week' and they refused to say (which makes a lot of sense tbh, but thought it was worth the try)

Yes, I got that as well.....Advanced ski hire + L.Pass, was less than the cost of the L.Pass on its own (Espace Killy). So I left my skis at home, saving me the cost of Ski Carriage (60GBP) and ski service as well. I was able to choose Head Magnums, much to my pleasant surprise.

Yes, I've seen a few emails about the £100 off per person, which might still be available. We got 2 for 1 lift passes, but that offer has now finished (for future reference, it usually seems to be available if you book before the end of July), but I'm pretty sure there are still buy 1 pass get 1 half price offers for a lot of Europe. And as others have said, there are various carriage/hire deals. The marketing emails do give you a lot of the offer details - other than that, it's mainly a case of trawling through the site to see what's being flagged for specific holidays.
Crystal also offer hotel bar credit sometimes, for certain half board hotels - a couple of years ago, we were given 150 euros per person, which was pretty good (especially as we also had a lift pass deal), so it's worth looking out for that. I'm not sure of the timings, though - it may only be available if you book earlier in the year.
Agree about the cashback sites - we use topcashback and I think got 3.5% this year - can't complain!

Yes I also use Topcashback. At least it normally covers the credit card booking surcharge which Crystal (and others to be fair) levy.
