The older I get the more companies seem to want to punch loyal customers in the groin.
It doesn't matter what it is - My cable company raising fees, my alarm company raising fees, cell phone company, the list goes on and on.
I mean, the thing is - I'll play the game. I detest having to do it, but I'll do it because I simply won't stand for paying more for the same service in highly competitive markets.
Lately I've been trying out those meal delivery service companies (BlueApron, Plated, etc.). And my problem is that each one of them will give you enticing start-up offers like $40 off the first 2 weeks. So I simply just keep bouncing between all of them. By the time the sign-up of one is done, I can either do a sign-up offer for another one, or one of the previous ones will give me a discount to start again with them.
Am I wrong in thinking that the lowest prices should be with those that stick with a company the longest? Instead that is the amount that is the highest.... To the point where they will literally poke you with a knife and continuously push it until it bothers you enough to do something.
I also understand most Americans are probably too lazy to do something - or maybe they don't even watch their finances enough to notice? Either way I find it ridiculous, what is ATOTs thoughts? Do you fight the good fight like I do? Do you keep up with your bills month to month?
I guess most people don't watch their bills enough to the point of putting it in Quicken (accounting software) - but I would at least view each and every single bill notification that shows up in my inbox to make sure the total amount is about what I expect.
It isn't hard to see if there is a difference in the amount:
