    Thumbs up Drip Pricing aka Partitioned Pricing ! Caveat Emptor !

    Can't say that I've heard these expressions before, but the practice is all too prevalent.
    Certainly used by IT and service providers.
    I welcome the ACCC and FTC, long overdue.

    i was ripped off last weekend , flew to gold coast , booked a hire car online , found the cheapest mob , went through the websites ( excess insurance ) policy , and when i get there i could have got it cheaper direct through the car company itself.
    to make it worse , the hire company said they dont accept the website's insurance and wanted to upsell me to their own ( excess insurance ) policy. thieving lying bastards.

    live and learn i guess

    Did the online insurance name the hire car company you used as a business recognising the Insurance Policy or use that cop out phase 'Participating Companies only'?
    I stand unequivicably behind everything I say , I just dont ever remember saying it !!
