Hi ERErs,
I'm happy to share with you this little experiment I did yesterday.
I called my Internet provider telling them that I'm paying too much and I want to change contract.
I think the words "change+contract" triggers something in the call center people, and I got a 5eur discount for 6 months without even asking
I then tried the same with the insurance company, where I have all my insurances together (motorbike, van, house, liability... yes I'm *almost* frugal!).
I told them that I'm paying too much and the agent checked what he could do for me...
After some minutes waiting, he was able to give me a 10% (~100eur/year) discount without reduce my coverage.
So, with 2 calls and 15 minutes I cut a little my monthly expenses, WOW!!
Ciao

Get discounts with a phone call
I called to cancel our landline about 2 weeks ago and right before hanging up said:
"Oh by the way, I see you're offering new customers a faster DSL speed than I get AND they pay $5 less per month."
"I'll see what I can do, sir."
Without any further action on my part, I was upgraded by about 3x the speed I had before and had a cut of $5/month in price.
