No, talking about how unfair it is that if you don't pay homeowners insurance you can't bundle it with your auto insurance and get a discount. It's totes unfair.

But yes, of course the entire world is out to get you, having singled you out to be the target of unjust policies.

Where do you come up with this nonsense? It has NOTHING to do with me, it's about MILLIONS of people and millions of dollars. I don't even have a car, so it cannot have anything to do with me.

This is no different than the cable company giving me a better rate when I bundle my internet and land line with cable.


I'm sure you're also upset that people get a multi car discount. After all, it's unfair some people have more than one car while others don't. /sarcasm

No problem with multi car discount; the insured can drive only one car at a time.

They're not paying anything - what's to discount?

No, because the renters insurance had a $250 deductible and I did not have $250 of stuff to insure.

their home insurance should be discounted the same as a bundle if your theory is true even though they have no car .

sorry but your off base . to qualify for discounts in anything you need to meet the qualifications .

in fact i got an extra discount from geico because i am retired and even though i drive the same miles a year you get a discount and i got another discount for owning berkshire stock . perhaps you want that too whether you deserve it or not .

Why not just concede (it's OK there's no harm in it) -- that this time you assumed something that's not really the case.

Just say, "My bad. I jumped to the wrong conclusion....." It happens and people continue to live perfectly happy lives. Other people understand that it can happen sometimes. And everyone moves on.

I think I saved $7 when I combined. I think I got a bigger discount by paying in full up front each year.

Okay, my bad. I thought you might be able to relate. Let me put it another way.

Renters can bundle their renter's insurance with their car insurance to get discounts, so your initial premise that renters are unable to bundle and get discounts is false.
