VAT increase.

[nowster]

Will IDNet be offering (as last year) the ability to pre-pay for a year's service before the VAT increase comes in?

[pctech]

I'd assume so as you can prepay for your service anytime.

[Rik]

They are, I have.

[Lance]

And I've got an invoice in my inbox waiting to be paid

[Rik]

Snap.

[pctech]

You mean you don't pay it by DD?

[Rik]

Yup. I've got the invoice, they'll take the money.

[Lance]

You mean you don't pay it by DD?

I pay by credit card (not CCA) as I then get the cashback or points depending on which card I use.

I have phoned idnet and extended mine for next year. I have also done this on lovefilms site as well which gave me two months free 

[Rik]

It's well worth it if you can, especially with interest rates as low as they are, Rich.

[pctech]

I did think about doing it but would be a bit much to find just now.

[Rik]

Shame. I always take great pleasure in not giving money to the Govt.

[BrianM]

Hi Rik, I pay for my BB package to Idnet monthly by DD, now i think i will switch to annual billing for 2011 and save a bob or two.    Will i have to  phone Idnet to have them make the change?   

[Rik]

You will, Brian.

Hi Brian

I've just set this up for you: your next invoice will cover 12 months for the price of 11.

[Rik]

Now that's what I call service. 

[BrianM]

Wow, certainly is.   Thank you Simon 

[psp83]

I'm gunna phone to switch to annual billing tomorrow, hope its not to late 

[Steve]

Just to point out my mathematically ability

The 2.5% VAT increase from 17.5% to 20% means the actually cost of any goods should rise by 2.1%

[Glenn]

So the shops will take opportunity to hike the price by 3%?

[Steve]

I agree It would be a good time to hide a price hike.

[pctech]

Perhaps 4th January will be 'a good day to bury bad news' too.

[Rik]

They'll hide it in the sales, initially. We'll really see what's happening after that.

[BrianM]

Hi Brian

I've just set this up for you: your next invoice will cover 12 months for the price of 11.

Recieved two invoice emails this morning from IDnet.  One confirming  DD annual billing has been set up and the other a rebate on a monthly payment i've just paid in advance, i think,  anyway, well done, sorted to satisfaction.  Thanks again Simon and IDnet.   

[Rik]

That's good to hear, Brian. Welcome to Savers Corner.

[eddie]

How does the annual billing on upgrades work?  As in if you pre pay now and decide at a later date to upgrade to Super Max.  Are you charged monthly the difference or do you pay annually?

[Rik]

I don't know for sure, but I'd imagine you'd be given the option to pay the pro-rata lump sum upgrade, or to pay it monthly.

[Glenn]

  Eddie, I would think that you maybe able to pay any upgraded cost annually too, but on a pro rata basis.

[Simon]

  Eddie!

[Rik]

Where are my manners?

[BrianM]

A point i was wondering eddie having just gone on to annual billing, but i'll cross that bridge if i come to it.

Have a  welcome  eddie.
