You gotta love Verizon!!!

I say this in jest. But in this particular case. YOU GOTTA LOVE VERIZON!!! Why?

Well for some time, my phone bill IS NEVER WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE. Never. Every month I have to call and speak to a person (try getting a live one), and I always get it changed to what it's supposed to be.

So last month, same channel, same story. So I got this lovely lady who says "because you are a valued Verizon Customer, I'm sending you a 100 point Verizon prepaid Gift card. I said Oh, Thank you. (not knowing what the heck a 100 point prepaid gift card was).

So it came a few weeks ago, and I look at it and I read the instructions and 100 points equals $100.00. Of course we got all excited thinking this is a $100 prepaid card. HOWEVER...it can only be used in participating companies.

So they give me this insert which lists all the companies. Mostly furniture companies (I have no need of this), children's clothing companies (I have no need of this), and other such stuff.

So we put away the card and said "oh someday, we'll use it".

Welll I've been looking to buy the Shark Steam Mop. In the commerical on tv it's $79.99. plus delivery, etc.

So I'm thinking today, let me see if I can get what I need at one of these participating companies.

BINGO. Linen N Things is a participating company and they have a AS SEEN ON TV department.

I just ordered the Shark Steam Mop. ISN'T THIS A HOOT!!!

OH, yesterday my item from ebay came in the mail. I bought a BONZAI food chopper dicing, mincing thing with 3 plastic containers, brand new, sealed.

Guess how much I paid on ebay?? I won the auction .....$.99 cents and $7.00 shipping and handing. That's right. Total cost was $7.99 for an item that sells online for $19.99 plus shipping and handling.

It arrived yesterday. I am absolutely delighted.

And today, I got the SHARK STEAM MOP (thank you Verizon gift card people).

I mean, miracles do happen to me, SOMETIMES!!!!

Take care,
Melody

Congratulations Melody! Verizon screwed up my bill last month and gave me 500 free minutes this month...do you think I could use them all...I tried. I wish they would have left them for me to use over a period of time rather than just in one month!

Let us know how that steam cleaner works! I need one of those! If it works like they say it does, I want to bag my house and steam it whole! (it's a very little house!)

Oddly enough, I also want to know if I can steam food in a pinch with it too...:p

Actually I had GTE; and Verizon bought out GTE
therefore ~ we didn't have an option. So Verizon
was on the horizon for us.

Since Al Gore invented the internet ... :eek:

*laughs*

I did some research on Verzion ... and I was like
"(ahem) ... so far - it looks like Verizon has lost
its horizon ... from all the reports and findings
that I was reviewing ..."

So trust me, we were N-E-R-V-O-U-S ... as what
to 'expect' ~ 1st month came, 6 months came,
3 years came, more years came - "Hey! Verizon's
pretty awesome!!" I said to myself ~ I was wondering
where and why these people were making such
drastic and hideous reports? Then it dawned on me
that majority of the employees at Verizon were GTE
employees!

Oh D'oh! I suddenly felt like Homer Simpson!

:Bang-Head:

I never was so embarrassed!

JUST IN TIME FOR SPRING CLEANING!!!

:D

Will we ever see you again since you've gotten
your brand new toy???

:(

PS: When you're done, want to do practice on
my house to make sure it really works really good?

( ::: crosses fingers and hopes Melody falls for it ::: )

I'm thinking about buying that Steam Mop - I have a coupon for 20% off at Linens 'N Things. It's $79.99 there, too.

Let us know how you like it. Is it really everything they say it is? Seems like you'd have to fill up the water reserve frequently but as long as it heats up quickly that's OK.

I hope it's a good product because it looks like a great way to clean hard wood floors without using chemicals. I'm always afraid to use chemical products because of my pets.

Glad you got a good deal from Verizon!! I have the same problem with AT&T each month but never get the offer of a gift card. Maybe I'll tell them this month when I call to get my bill straightened out that I'm going to switch to Verizon because even though they can't get the bill right either at least they give me a prize!! :rolleyes:

This is for everybody who has had a problem with their phone bills, dsl service, or ANYTHING HAVING TO DO WITH VERIZON.

Get a rep on the phone. Complain a bit, and then say sweetly. "don't you have a promo going on where you give out 100 point American Express Gift Cards".

Explain your financial situation and your disability. Chances are you will get a compassionate person who will say "We are running a promotion and we are sending you a 100 point gift card".

Give it a try. Let me know what happens.

Oh, I just ordered the mop yesterday. When it arrives, I'll do a demonstration via webcam. I'll upload it to youtube, and you can see for yourself how it works.

I love youtube. I have various videos up there on stuff I bought. If any of you haven't seen any of my videos, (me and my hubby), and me explaining how I love the PEDEGG.(and believe me, the PEDEGG), is the best thing since sliced bread, I'll post a link to my infomercials on youtube.

I ADORE INFORMERCIALS. I must have every gadget. But I use them. I have the one touch can opener, the grabber, the lightbulbs, Now I just got the Bonzai Chopper, I have the Tater Mitts.

WHAT DON'T I HAVE!!!! lol

MY DH called them a zillion times but they never could do a thing. So....when he's near a store he opens the door and says "Can you hear me now?".

IT's all what works for you or in your area. We went with SunCom which will soon be T-Mobile. So far we love the service, but the phone sucks. Oh well....it's a toss up.

Melody: let me know how that shark steam thingy works....I wanted one and I have wondered.

I got the Pedegg a couple of weeks ago and I LOVE IT!!! :circlelove:

I doubt I'll ever go back to the salon for a pedicure again! This little gadget works wonders. :)
