Chris saved us $850 total on our airline tickets to Springfield in June. He was looking to see what the price was for September (for Jason’s wedding) and noticed the June tickets were $95 less (per ticket) than we originally paid. He called United to see if they would give us the better price. The agent said the fee to change was $150 (per ticket.) Chris said, okay, I’d like a full refund to my credit card. How much will that be? As it turns out, there was no fee because there was a schedule change (of one minute.) The agent put Chris on hold to do the refund but had problems with his system. Chris had to wait on hold for maybe 5 minutes. The guy came back on and said for the inconvenience (of being on hold) he would be sending 5 $75 vouchers to us (one per ticket.) Chris then turned right around and rebooked our tickets. We’re leaving later but coming home on the same flight. Total savings - $850 for a 5 minute phone call. How crazy is that?!
Watched Celebrity Apprentice (Dennis Rodman intervention.)
April Fool’s Day- Poor Robin's Almanac (1790)
The first of April, some do say
Is set apart for All Fool's Day;
But why the people call it so
Nor I, nor they themselves, do know,
But on this day are people sent
On purpose for pure merriment.
