Best and Worst Days to Buy Gas
Consumer World Original
Since the founding of Consumer Reports in 1936, they have not allowed companies to use their name, ratings, or test results in advertising. Guess what? The policy has changed for companies willing to pay the price and follow a strict set of rules.
That is our Mouse Print* story this week.
Most people don't read the fine print terms and conditions or product warnings because they are too long, boring, and often unintelligible. But the fine print examples in this story, often on product labels, will leave you howling with laughter. Okay, maybe just chuckling. Here is one example.
JD Power interviewed almost 30,000 commercial health insurance policyholders across the country. They inquired about ability to get service, coverage offerings, complaint handling, quality of online portal, etc. See how the major health insurers in your area rated. There are huge differences in ratings between the best and worst companies.
It added insult to injury when these pet parents not only lost their beloved 20-year-old cat but got scammed by the pet cremation service they hired. They spent a ton of money and got nothing in return. And not even their local TV station could get them the service they paid for.
