A Five Minute Call Can Save U $$$

This month I made a couple of phone calls approx 5 minutes each and saved us $550.00 a year. First I called our satelite company (dish) and asked why our bill had went up $10.00 a month when I made no changes. So they looked and said well we do have a special going right now and we can reduce your monthly charge $10.00. So there was a $120.00 a year savings in less than 5 minutes.

I also called our auto insurance.  In our recent bill there was a letter "Notice To Policy Holders" We have introduced a new plan for pricing auto insurance.and you may qualify under this plan. They stated the new plan was was more complex and more accurate formula  to determine premiums. They said if you were interested to call. So I did and 10 minutes later I had saved us $430.00 a year!

So there is a savings of $550.00 a year in less than 15 minutes! Usually I don't read all the paper work when our insurance policy comes due.  I usually just check the premium due. It pays to read all the paper work enclosed!

If you have been a long time customer with a company and you think your interest rate or monthly bill is too much call them,.  Companies now days want to keep good paying long term customers. happy.  In the past and even today you will see ads and specials to lure in new customers, but I think companies are learning that they really need those loyal customers who pay on time.

So give it a try you have nothing to lose and lots to gain!!
