That's MY $1.69

February 22nd, 2008 at 02:48 pm

I went grocery shopping the other evening, and upon getting into the car noticed that I didn't get the discount. At this particular store the items ring up regular price with the discount immediately after it. On my forth item of the same thing my discount wasn't applied. The next time I was in that store, I showed "customer service". She gave me every excuse, but finally gave up and refunded my $1.69. Smile

Yesterday we recieved the emergency room physician's bill (daughter fractured her arm on 4-wheeler) for $423.00 after insurance payment! What? Long story short, I made a few phone calls and found out this particular doctor is not in network. Insurance rep. said no problem, all emergency room visits are paid 100% reguardless if in network or not. Yea!!!
So I figure I saved $423.00 in about 15 minutes time! Smile Go me!

Adding $2.00 to the challenge for refund, and $1.00 foe no heat/air bringing my total to $916.00 (Maybe we'll make it to Disney this year after all.)

    Good for you! Going back for your $1.69. I've done it for less! In reference to the medical bill, its not uncommon for doctors and labs to bill the patient before ever receiving payment or denial for the insurance. Its good that you called & great that your insurance is going to cover it, no problem!

    Good Job! I hate to get cheated out of even a penny. I'm glad you got that $1.69 back! It all adds up and your right... it is YOURS! Once I noticed that my coupons didn't double right and I had the cashier fix it... it took a couple seconds for her to figure out how to do it. The man behind me said that I was wasting his time for $3.50 (or close too it, I can't remember) so I asked him to give me $3.50, he said no it's my money, I said exactly! Keep up the good work!
