Ask for a Discount on a New Product If Something Goes Out of Warranty
Let’s say you break your watch or some other object or device. You check the warranty and it’s a bummer: it’s expired. If you are planning to buy a replacement, try asking the company for a discount.
At Rather Be Shopping, Kyle James explains how he discovered this tip when his Fitbit broke:
… unfortunately the warranty has expired for over a year. But on a whim, I went ahead and contacted Fitbit via chat and explained the situation … The live chat operator offered me a nice one-time 25% discount on the purchase of a new tracker. 25% off which is much better than any coupon I could find on over a dozen popular coupon websites.
James explains that he passed the advice on to a friend who had success with a Logitech product. Of course, these are just two examples, and your own experience may be different. This is purely a whim of the company and the customer service representative, but it is definitely worth asking, especially since many companies happily offer coupons for your business.
