On another note...

I got this in the mail:

Don't renew your current auto insurance policy before getting a free rate quote. Call now and see if you could save up to $327.96 or more a year.

My guess is that $327.96 is the most they've saved anyone yet, but they don't rule out the possibility of exceeding that. Still, is it really good marketing to specify "up to" a non-round amount "or more"?

That really is odd.

My company often advertises hotel nightly rates "from $79". Then I get calls from people who wish to stay in a 5-Star hotel for "the $79 rate". *sigh* That rate would be at one of our low-end properties at an airport during a non-busy time.
