I got a notice that my Good Housekeeping subscription would soon be up and that I owed $25.97 if I wanted to get another 2 year subscription because I signed up for the no interuption plan. HUH? Inside the magazine was a card insert charging $20.00 for 2 years so why would a faithful subscriber like me have to pay more than someone else? I have been getting this magazine for years. Loyalty means you pay more? Well, I just want to let everyone know it SAVES to call. After talking to the gentlemen and telling him I loved the magazine but didn't want to pay $25.97 when there is a insert in the magazine for $20.00 he let me know that they were have a different special...2 years for $15.00 or 3 years for $20.00. So I will be sending them $20.00 and enjoying my magazine for another 3 years.
Now, how may of you got XMradio with the purchase of a new vehicle? Ours came with 6 months free and our dealer told us when it expired and we were sent an invoice to renew for $12.99 a month to call and say it was too much and they would wheel and deal with us. Sure enough we were able to renew for a lot less...I think $6.95 or $7.95 a month.
Now my question to you is...Will TIVO wheel and deal? We were given TIVO as a Christmas present a couple years ago and we are automatically charged $12.95 a month on our Visa for it. Could we be paying more than we should? When you never see a bill you forget what you are paying and don't question the amount. My question to all of you is...Do you have TIVO and are you paying less than I am? Could I get a better price if I wheel and deal?

As you know, Country Home is being discontinued. I had 3+ years left on my subscription. They offered MORE magazine as a substitute. I never heard of MORE magazine -have you? I called and asked for other choices and was offered to extend my BH & Gardens by four years for the inconvenience. That was worth the phone call to me. ~ Robyn
Great way to save money! Good advise!
By the by...THANKS so much for the Welcome! Haven't figured out where it's going yet...but I will let you know when I do!
You're smart to make the phone calls....I get so lazy I don't want to have to fight the battle of waiting on hold and then trying to get through all the transfers etc. I need to be more thrifty!
