The One Phone Call That Saves Most People $300-600 Per Year

Pick up your phone. Call your internet provider. Say these exact words:

"I have been a customer for X years. I noticed my bill has gone up. I am looking at competitor offers and seeing lower prices. Can you help me reduce my bill?"

That is it. Average savings: $20-50/month.

Why this works

Companies budget for customer retention. The first person you talk to can usually offer 10-20% off. If they say no, ask for the retention department — their job is to save customers who are about to leave.

The full list of bills to negotiate

  1. Internet: save $20-40/month
  2. Cell phone: save $15-30/month
  3. Car insurance: save $30-80/month
  4. Cable/streaming: save $20-50/month
  5. Credit card APR: just ask

Total potential: $300-600/year from 5 phone calls.
