So, an approach I usually take is "the economy is really bad and the monthly fee is just too high right now. I'm wondering if there are any promotions, special offers or ways to lower my bill." to start things off. Some people try to threaten to cancel but I don't feel comfortable with that approach because if they say okay, then I wouldn't know how to respond to that if that's not my intended goal.

Could you offer some tips on how to negotiate on the phone with these companies? How should you ask for a discount? This is a good article.

I've been doing this for a long time. The people over the phone are usually very helpful as well (unlike tech support). You can really save tons of money off your bills with this method.

You also can't find a card with a big enough credit limit to give you $40 a month! As for me, I call every 6 months to all my companies to see if I can save. Sometimes, it's to keep my bills low (renew my promotional offers). Other times, I enroll in new ones. It's my secret to have low monthly bills!!

I actually called my cable provider a few weeks ago and saved $40/month just by asking. I never carry a balance so I've never called my credit card company before, but it seems to me as though it would just be easier to find a 0% balance transfer card. What do you think?
