Mastercard ... 2 $10 certificates

[maximom]

Don't know much about this but thought I would pass it on. I have a WM Mastercard and I just called to check my balance to make sure my payment made it and to see if my CP reservation had been charged yet (it had). Anyway, the automated voice asked me to press 1 if I wanted to hear how I could earn 2 - $10 certificates good toward the outstanding balance, I thought sure why not.

It's this offer for a service called Privacy Guard. 1st month is $1.25/mo and subsequent month's are $9.95 but you can cancel at anytime and receive that month's payment refunded. Just for trying it for a month you get the 2 - $10 certificates. I just set my daily reminder on my computer to call and cancel after the first month.

I'll put that $20 against my hotel charges and make the trip to Cypress Pointe even cheaper!

Thought I would pass the info along for those of you with Wal-mart MC's (or maybe any MC) you might want to call to see if you're given this offer.

It is a good deal if you are diligent about calling and cancelling the service before you are charged for the second month at the regular rate ($20?) I have done this in the past and when I called to cancel they gave me such a hard time. In fact when I called they told me that the computers were down and that they could not process my request!!! I simply called back a few hours later and they passed me around to two different agents before finally cancelling the service. Just stay strong and tell them you are not interested and that you want to cancel.... period! They may try to tempt you by giving you a lower monthly rate (i.e. from $20 to $15 per month). Good luck!
