- I had been hearing about the Premier plan for a while. I called them and
- asked them if I could have the lower rate. She put me on hold for about
- 30 seconds while she "reviewed my account" then gave me the lower rate.
-
- So if you don't get the rate automatically, it couldn't hurt to call them
- and ask for it. It appears, from people I've talked to, that they don't
- give it out automatically. But maybe they just started the big rollout.
