early termination fees

Escape Verizon Without Early Termination Fee Based On Administrative Charge Increase

Verizon is increasing the monthly administrative charge from $.70 to $.85, giving customers a chance to escape their cellphone contract without paying an early termination fee. However, it won't come easy. You need to have all the facts and support documents on hand and be prepared to work really hard to convince some reluctant customer service reps. Your best shot is to insist on speaking to the retentions department. Also, you need to say that the only reason you want to cancel is because of the administrative charge increase. If they ask why, just keep saying that it has a material adverse effect on you (here's what material adverse means). Lastly, resist any freebies or bonuses they toss your way. Text of Verizon's fee change and the contract clause giving you the right to break contract without early termination fee, inside... More »

Cellular South Pays Your Early Termination Fee If You Switch To Them

Cellular South is so eager to get you as a customer that they will pay your early termination fee if you switch to them. They will pay up to $200, which comes in the form of a service credit. Cellular South covers Mississippi, coastal Alabama, the Florida panhandle, and parts of Memphis. Perhaps some national carriers will pick up on this awesome idea?

3-Part Amazon Coupon Code Book

CouponCodesMall has rounded up some previously published Amazon deal hacks into one Amazon coupon code e-book in three parts:

1) Working coupon codes for specific products and categories
2) an easy-to-use widget to search by category for discounted products depending how much of a percentage they're on sale for
3) An Amazon deal search engine

Number 3 is probably the most useful one. Rebate checks start arriving Monday... just because you're stimulating the economy doesn't mean you need to overpay.
