Is the 8% off deal a pretty standard thing with most power companies in Vic?
yep
you ask they give.
like all of those money stealing big corps all u have to do is to call them up and say your leaving as your next door is getting a cheaper deal and they will offer you a discount like that.
Same goes with Private Health and your home loans. Speak to the disconnection or customer solutions team and tell them you want out
Doesn't always work. I do tech support for a small ISP and people say "TPG are offerring these amazing plans, can you give me a discount to keep me on board?". Sadly, if we did that, we'd be losing money.
If they want wait 20 minutes to talk to somebody in the Phillipines every time they're having internet troubles, they can do so.
true not always but i can tell you the amount of coin i have saved for my olds have been substantial.
i wouldnt say can you price match id say im leaving and want to cancel my service.
If you are not locked into a contract they will fight to keep you that i can guarantee you that 100%. They are greedy pricks
My old man has been getting a $30 monthly credit on his home phone for the last 3 years all because he said he was leaving years ago.
