Marcel you are just like me! I try to negoatiate on literally everything I have to spend money on. The insurance one you mentioned will probably help people the most, since it applies to everyone AND will save them probably a few hundred a year if they ask for the right discounts. I wrote a blog post too about how to negotiate credit card interest rate Good job on bringing interest rates down from 15% to 10%. Now most people I’ve heard are only able to knock off a percent or two due to tightened credit.

Those are some good tips on negotiating. I know you can get house insurance cheaper if you get it with the same people that do your car insurance. I have had good results with the credit card companies. I know people just start making late payments instead of giving the credit card company a call. They don’t realize that the credit card companies are willing to work with you.

TOTALLY agree - I can’t say the number of times I’ve done this. Good call.

One thing I found out though; most store-branded cards (Home Depot in my case) will flatly NOT negotiate the rate. I found this out from the rep, who was happy and understanding of my request to close the account after I found this out.

Don’t expect the non-standard CC’s to be too sympathetic. But it never hurts to ask anyway.

I haggle everywhere I go as well. Even at hotels when I clearly don’t have a AAA membership I still always convince them to give me the discount. They want your business and sometimes you just have to do some extra coaxing! Just be smooth and don’t grovel

Great tips. I have had success with credit card companies and actually today, I negotiated a better price when buying tires for my car. I am learning that just about everything is negotiable.
