Save money, money, save money, money, left....

Today I got my Comcast bill (cable tv and Internet).  I noticed it a lil bit higher than normal, so checking it out I discovered I had a $9.95 charge for delivery, which was probably for the new remote they sent me back in September.  I was told everything would be free, so I had called Comcast to get that charge taken off.

I spoke with Meg at Comcast.  She said she's get rid of that charge, no problem.  Then she asked if I wanted her to take a look to see if there's any promotions I could get to lower my bill.  I told her she could, just so long as I'd get to keep everything I now get, not taking anything away or adding anything.

So after taking several minutes to look over everything, she said she could get my bill down $30 less than it is now, for 1 yr, and $10 less a month for the second year, before returning to what I pay now in the third year.  And nothing that I have would change.  She tried to talk me into Starz for an additional $10 a month, and I considered it, but then said no, cause I probably wouldn't watch it anyway.

Part of the deal, though, is that I have a landline phone number now.  I told her I didn't want one and wouldn't use it, but to get all the bargains, I had to take it.  So now I have a number, but no phone attached to it.  Eh, whatever, it's saving me $360 this next year and $120 next year, for a total of almost $500 savings.  Yeah, I'll take a worthless phone number for that.

And now, I love Meg.  She and I were quite overjoyed, they I get to save the money and that she helped me do it. I still love Meg...almost as much as I love saving almost $500!
