Scamming for Service
U/friendliest_giant: “Know how they have the 3 month free premium channel thing when you switch TV providers? You can get that without switching by calling up your provider and asking to speak to a supervisor and spinning a yarn about how you’re unsure since xxxx company will offer you the premium channels.
The supervisors job is to ensure customer satisfaction and they get in trouble if people leave the service under their watch, as such you will often get a price cut or free premium service.”
Eating for Free
U/sadsturbator: “My iPhone is jailbroken, so I can install apps that aren’t in the AppStore. McDonalds had this thing over the summer, where if you downloaded their McD’s App, it’d give you a coupon for a free large meal. But there was a catch. The coupon would count down and only last 30 seconds before expiring and going away forever.
So I decided to use a screen recording app to record the coupons, and just play them back for the cashier to see. I think it might have expired now but they don’t seem to make a fuss about it. I’ve gotten countless free meals with this.”
