Today I made a phone call to my hosting company explaining that I will not renew my hosting account unless I get the same introductory offer I obtained when I first signed up and guess what? I did not receive the exact offer but they still gave me a 30% discount based on the current runnin which was a whopping savings of over $50.00. Not bad for a 5 minute effort over the phone.

I did this before on my credit card annual fees and it always work like a charm.
