wow, that is kind of impressive!

Wow, that’s a nice surprise. I was thinking about switching the policy to storage insurance on one of our vehicles since they’re both just sitting in the garage.

Rereading the email, it says “15% based on monthly insurance costs”. The check just grew smaller. I was figuring 15% of what I pay annually.

Interesting! I hadn't even thought about changing coverage, but my MX-5 is not going anywhere until this is over. Now I'm wondering how a "storage only" temporary revision would work. I may email our agent.

Good news on your discount! Every little bit back in our pockets is a welcome thing!

I heard something about that on the news this morning. Ida, we have storage coverage on two of our cars that we only drive in the summer. We just call the agent in the fall to reduce the coverage and then again in the spring to reinstate full coverage.

I used to drive around 14K miles per year. With both of being retired, I drove less that 500 miles during the first 3 months of this year. Hadn't gotten around to contacting the insurance company, but I really should.

How do they KNOW this? There are a lot of people just handing money out--assuming we are all w/o work, unable to pay our bills...some of us aren't and wish before people just ASSUME things they find out who really needs help and direct all this generosity where it's most NEEDED!!!

My insurance company gave me a tracker of sorts to put on my car. They ask me monthly to give them my odometer reading. I have State Farm. I guess that is one way they know.

We declined the tracker, so don’t have one.

“How do they KNOW this?”

My guess is that the insurance company (All State) sent the same email to everyone who they cover. We are not THAT special.

It’s not a huge amount that will hurt their bottom line, but it’s a nice consideration on their part. Good business move IMHO.

Arcy, many companies DO help those in need. Why do you think they don’t? In your posts you seem to have a lot of negativity in your life. I hope that you can find some happiness soon.

Exactly, satine100. I am retired and my monthly income is not affected so I made a money donation to my town's food bank. I plan on making another donation.

I kind of wondered about the stimulus payment to people whose income is SS not payroll. However to a large extent its purpose is economic stimulus not just payroll replacement. And the idea was to get the $ to the people quickly which wouldn't happen if you analyzed everyone's financial status and then sent only to people who "need" it based on who knows what criteria of "need".
