So, the best way save is to subscribe, try to unsubscribe, take the second, cheaper offer, and after the discount is done, try to unsubscribe again.

- NoZebra120vClip 4y agoIt is well-understood that attempting to stop service from someone like my very large ISP is a nightmare of retention hoops to jump through. It's like in Islam, the man has to repeat three times "I divorce you" to prove that he really, really, really means it. Imagine what the Islamic Marriage Retention Office is like. But it's also true that the self-same ISP often has many discounts and offers available, and it turns out that they are there for the picking, if you only ask for them. So (before I got on a dirt-cheap paid-for ACP plan) the routine would be to call in, grope around for discounts or offers that could be applied, and then set a reminder for the expiration of that discount so that you could call back in and do the same dance with them. With many products and services, it really is folly to pay full price. I don't know how many times I've regretted bypassing the little box that says "enter discount code here" because I didn't have one in hand. Often times, if you are shopping in a web store, they'll flash a banner with a code, and you want to write that code down because, chances are, they won't remind you when time comes to check out.
