What dirty little secrets does your company or line of work have that the public could benefit from knowing?
here's mines...I worked for a big credit card company whose name i won't mention, but they were always asking about what was in somebody's wallet...Anyway, when you call and tell them about other card companies offering you better deals, they almost always can adjust whatever it is you are looking for. For example, if you call and say that Chase or Amex offered you a 7.9%, and your current apr with our mystery card company is a 9.9%, they may offer you a 6.9 to pacify you. We had a point system, and even if i could offer you a 2.9% in that situation, my bonus and paycheck depended on how many points i saved by NOT giving you as low an APR as i actually could (granted your credit was good, no late payments, etc.) Also, if you make ONE payment by ONE DAY LATE, they can automatically update that apr to 27.9 with no warning...shifty business people!!
anybody else??
