Request for insurance discount shot down by GEICO

March 30th, 2014 at 07:14 pm

GEICO Insurance put a 8.5"x11" glossy double-sided insert in my Berkshire Hathaway annual report on how I could "score big savings" on my car insurance. Only after a "No" response do I see the tiny print on how some discounts are not available in all states. There is a maximum of discounts applicable to policies. How vexatious.

What a waste of advertising.

Worse, the "speshulist" I spoke with couldn't give me an average annual premium for my vehicle's age, make and model for someone in my city. Later found all that on the internet. I'm paying $388 less than average, but that feels like a lot.

Anyone want to be a co-conspirator for an April Fool's Day prank on the Saving Advice forums "is ---- a scam" board? If you think the MLM thread that won't die is ridiculous, maybe consider dreaming up a MLM scheme and pretending we're all millionaire founding partners. After all, most of them are lying, and it's for one day...

    Just my opinion, but if you have been with GEICO for a number of years, you should probably see about other insurance carriers. I switched over a year ago from them to Prgressive (almost 50% less!), and every month I get an letter asking me to come back. The latest letter says they have determined a new way to give me a much better rate than they did previously. Uh huh, suuuuuure. Only now they figured this out. Yeah right. I may check with them the next time I am up for renewal and see what they have "figured out".
