That Ain't Right

Some would like to think that I am negative towards shifty corporations and critical of everything so I made a list of some of the corporately owned things that I like:

1. American Express

American Express is the card of champions. Their customer service is on point, they have exclusive member deals (mywishlist.com), and when you call them for help you hardly ever get sent off-shore (if at all). Today I called Amex and they reduced my APR and reversed two finance charges, after losing my wallet they overnighted me a replacement card last Saturday. To make things even better they cut me a check every year for cash back on purchases that I would have had to make anyway (i.e. gas, bills, etc.) its to the point now where if a store doesn’t take Amex i really should not even shop there.

2. Costco

Costco has everything you need want to buy except homes. Despite changes they still have one of the best return policies in retail & they’ve been selling Hot Dogs for $1.50 for the past 24 years!

3. The Better Business Bureau?

A place (albeit biased) where you can take a step towards getting some rights as a consumer. Through the BBB I have received a refund and a rebate that would have otherwise been lost to the hands of greedy unscrupulous companies, despite their process being slow and not the most effective.
