I wanted to share my cable tv/internet savings tip with all of you. I have Comcast cable and internet service. You know how every once in a while, even though you already subscribe to a cable/internet service, you'll get mailings that are intended to attract new customers with "teaser" rates for 3-6 months at a time? Well, call the cable company and ask for the discount. This can save $15-$20 per month for the length of the offer.
What people don't realize is that the cable company (at least Comcast does)
expects current customers to ask for the discounts and has a policy for giving them -- the last time I called for a discount the Cust. Svc. Rep mentioned that customers could only ask for a "new customer" discount every X months!!
So just ask! It helps to have the offer letter/postcard with you when you ask becasue there is usually a special code/number that identifies which discount is being applied. Do this even though the offer letter/postcard says it is only for new customers! I call at least twice per year!
Since I telecommute to work some days to save on gas, I have to have internet service. I don't get reimbursed by my company for this cost because it is my choice to telecommute. So any cable/internet discounts (they come on the same bill) really help!
