With the new tv this weekend came the option of getting an HD cable box. I called my provider yesterday to find out about it. Ultimately, decided against switching to an HD box as I'm too attached to my DVR. While I was on the phone I asked him to go through my bill to see what I was paying.
I always do this with my bills. I'm cheap and if I can be saving money than I'm going to try and do it. So at the end of it I asked, "Are there any other bundles that are cheaper." He said he would have to transfer me to billing. So I was transferred.
The woman at billing verified all my information and I asked her the same question,"Are there any cheaper bundles?" Right off the bat she said."I'll take $5 off your monthly bill. You're paying $$$ and now you'll only pay $$"
A bit taken aback I asked again "Ok, but are there any bundles that would be better for me."She replied, "All right, $10 off. I'll take $10 off a month and you'll get HBO free for 3 months."
So I agreed. She put me on hold while she added HBO to my service and before I knew it I was paying less and getting more services. The whole point of this is to check your bills. And don't be afraid to ask.
