So today i called US Fidelis, you know, the extended car warranty people, after seeing their commercial on TV. Immediately they asked for my name and read back my phone number from caller ID and told me I was in their system.
Then, after I told them that I drove a volvo 850, they told me their offer was a one time thing, and I would be put on a black list if I did not get it. Once on this blacklist, I would never again be able to get coverage for any car.
I got tranfered to a "warranty specialist" to learn about the warranty, but really it was just a salesman who seemed very anxious to get a deposit. He kept asking me "so is that gonna be on Visa or Mastercard, " even though we were talking about other aspects of the deal. I told him I wanted a written copy of the contract before I paid anything, but he refused saying the deposit was necessary to get the paperwork sent out!
I found out that the coverage doesnt begin until one month from when you buy it, or 1000 miles, whichever comes last.
Also, after I said I didn't the coverage, he miraculously lowered the price by $400 and eliminated the $50 deductible due on each visit to the repair shop.
He kept asking for the deposit and kept saying I would be put on this blacklist, so I just hug up.
