Call for a better rate

Coincidently we had a Boston Globe and a Boston Herald subscription needing renewal today.

It turns out that if you call on the phone, you can get a better rate.

Herald - $66 for 24 weeks.
The online rate is $47.88 for 12 weeks or extending that, $95.88 for 24 weeks. So we saved $29.76.

Globe - $100 for 6 months, that's 50% off.
The best rate for the Globe on the paper bill that I got in the mail was 20% off for 52 weeks. The 26 week rate on the paper bill was $175.50, so I saved $75.

That's a total savings of $104.76

Thanks Carol.
