[QUOTE="witzend, post: 595945, member: 99"] The best advice I can give for "special offers" that only last for a limited time is to have your calendar open on your computer when you order the service. Ask what date the offer will end, and put a reminder on your calendar that has an alarm one week in advance on it. It will pop up when you open your calendar and you call them and tell them to change it. Easy-peasy. I will absolutely NEVER allow direct payment on ANYTHING, but especially not cable or internet. [I]That[/I] is where they get you on the "special packages" that end. You're generally paying in advance for service, so when you don't have auto-pay and the bill comes in the mail for more than you thought you just call them and tell them to change it. But the best way to avoid that is to just put the alarm on your calendar and call them in advance. [/QUOTE]
