Company Discounts
WEll recently I found out I get a 20% discount on Sprint with a $150 discount on equipment and 13% off with at&t, and 13% off on Nextel. But right now I am stuck in a contract with Verizon wireless, and pay over $130.00 a month but if I get sprint like I wanted to it would be less than a hundred a month with My Georgia Pacific discount. How can I get out of my contract with verizon? or am I pretty much stuck with them?
Also found out I get a pretty good discount on other things for working for GP Here are a few of them
10% off Quiznos
20% off admission to walt Disney world
Unknown amount of discount on Dell Computers
10% off entire purchase on Stainmaster
around a 1,000 off on Ford,GM vehicles
20% discount on Flowers from "From you Flowers"
50% off Anti Virus Trend Micro
10% Georgia Aquarium
15% off Company ran restaurant called "olympia Prime"
15% off Brooks Brothers
Who else gets discounts on things for working for the company they do?

Man that's a lot of discounts on alot of things. The only discount I get is cost plus 10% at the store that I work at (works out good on auto parts and tools). And 10% off at the quiznos here in town if I come in wearing my work uniform.
But I don't have a clue about how to get out of that contract with verizion those types of contracts are friggin' impossible to get out of unless you pay the entire balance. Which to me doesn't seem worth it.

I read somewhere about someone calling and complaining endlessly about something and the company eventually just cancelled the contract from their end. There is some info out there about things you can complain about that take up more time and energy than they are willing to spend on one customer and they eventually find it cheaper to quit doing business with you.

If I get flown for a medical mission in my helicopter I don't have to pay for it.
as for phone I won't use anything but verizon (untill they screw up and **** me off) everyone else I have used had bad service too many droped calls and too many no service areas (this is a big one in Arizona) plus my company has a contract with verizon. I have 4 phones and like a thousand minutes 50 states no long distance and no roaming. pluss all of my fanmily is on verizon.

17% discount Verizon Wireless service (on each line!) and 25% discount on accessories, plus 'heavy' discounts on phones. (Plus free overnight shipping of phones/accessories.)
With the cellphone service I had (4 phones) the savings was enough to buy a phone for my elderly parents and pay the monthly charges on it!
20% discount on HP products and services
20% discount on Dell products and services
Microsoft 'Home Use' discount on software (No stated percentage, but, it's CHEAP!)
Microsoft 'Purchase' discount on software (No stated percentage, but, it's CHEAP!)
Plus, my employer guarantees all the headaches I can tolerate.

I get a 50% discount on all my parts at Carquest Auto Parts thanks to the place I work. I recently just replaced all of the gaskets in my truck from oil pan to valley pan and all of them only cost me $40. With all of the extras I bought, I was only into the project for $107.

There are too many discounts to list, that I get from my company. The best one that panned out for some of the employees is that they were all able to get Wii's in time for Xmas for $233 a piece. We have an open account directly from the manufacturer Nintendo because one of our semiconductor parts is in their game remotes.
A while back ago I saw an advertisement in a magazine about some company that buys off existing cell phone contracts. I don't have any other details, but I'm sure if you do a google search you might find something.
