My probationary period is over & thus like an acceptance to some exclusive membership, some of my benefit certificates started arriving. Goody.

Then I opened the healthcare policy. Three (3) things were wrong with.

First. It was addressed to hubby when I’m supposed to be the main policy holder.
Second. I was not even mentioned in the policy, just my husband & pogiBoy.
Third. It was missing the dental & optical plans.

Total screw up. Our company hired a benefits service company to handle all our benefit packages. I can only surmise that when I emailed our administrative staff to “do not include my hubby & son on my healthcare plan”, it was interpreted either by the service company or the health care provider that my hubby, being a man, is the member of the technology team not Mrs.

The service’ account manager called me to clarify what happened & then tried to get away by saying the original instruction was to include all family members. I asked her how that explains my missing name & my husband being the policy holder?

I could, of course, be jumping to conclusions here but it’s happened several times to me before. I work in IT so I must be a man. Letters addressed to Mr D S…, my hubby’s name is hubby! And he doesn’t work in Central London, he’s a nurse, people!

Funny though sometimes I get addressed as Dr, too. Why? Who knows.

This is a sponsored post

I love freebies. I love discounts, too. I join all every reward club offered in the stores I go to: groceries, bookstores, clothes shop and even hardware stores! When I was in the US back, a colleague told me about online coupons. I was really intrigued.

I mean, hey, who doesn’t want to save a few pennies now and then, eh? So this sponsored post is very timely for those readers looking to grab a bargain. And don’t think they’re limited to your next door shop. Coupon Chief is linked with hundreds of merchants both online and offline. Take for example Amazon.Com.

I think you should give this a try.
