I had some good luck fixing some stupid mistakes today. In my new budgeting zeal, I paid my Citicard late. Bye bye 3.9%. I prepared to move this to another card. I also signed up for the MyPoints insider club. Lo and behold I did'nt cancel the membership on time, something I did'nt realize until I looked at the credit card bill.
I called Citi and asked for my payoff amount. She asked me why I was late, I told her and she reverted my interest rate back - yeah!
I called the Insiders Club. I guess they are used to this. They credited back my credit card.
I was feelin pretty lucky, so I called the pediatric orthopedic office to see if there had been some mistake about the 299.00 charge I was told I had to pay for DD3's broken arm. Wasn't so lucky there, yep we have to pay. It's part of the deductible for this insurance. So we will have almost covered her deductible and now they are changing insurance on us. Boo.....
Pulled my butt out of the fire....

Good for you for making a couple of phone calls and saving money!!
Just think, if you were working outside the home, you may not have had the time to make those calls....Id say your hourly rate for being a stay at home mom just went up!
