Huh, now that's real savings....

I shopped for car insurance again last night. Not that State Farm is bad, per se, but I really don't like seeing my rates jump by about 50% simply because I get the 'bonus' of living in WA state.

Ameriprise, underwritten by Amex, offers something that's staggeringly affordable to Costco members. I knew this from years ago, but tried it again now, anyway, and DAMN..... I got back the entire increase by going with them. Granted, it still jacked up my monthly rate slightly, but that's because they go with 5 payments for 6 months, rather than 6. But still, it's terribly amusing getting reliable, decent insurance for less than what I was paying before the transition, and having my payments increase only slightly.

I hate to sound like an ad for them again, but Costco membership really does have its perks. If you take advantage of what they offer, you really do make back the membership fee within a year, or less.

I'd love to. Except they only insure in OR and CA apparently. And since I'm up in WA, just across the river, that makes me SOL. But thanks for the thought kitten.
