Muse called an internet provider and got a $20 credit
Lucus's internet was out for several days because of a downed line, and technicians missed several appointments. Once it was fixed, he had his Meta Muse agent (he named it Linda) call his internet provider and ask for a billing credit for the outage. He says it came back with a $20 credit, with almost no effort on his part. Most providers will credit you for days without service, but only if you ask, and many people never do because it means another long call. This is a good job for a calling agent: the facts are simple, the ask is polite, and the agent can sit on hold for you.
Poster's claim, not verified: Lucus says he got a $20 billing credit; we haven't verified it.
Copy this prompt
Call [INTERNET PROVIDER] at [PHONE] about account [ACCOUNT NUMBER, NAME ON ACCOUNT]. My service was out from [START DATE] to [END DATE] because of [CAUSE, e.g. a downed line], and technicians missed appointments on [DATES]. Ask for a credit for every day without service and for the missed appointments. Be polite but don't accept a credit under [AMOUNT] without checking with me. Get the credit amount, which bill it will show on, and a reference number. Don't change my plan or add anything.

Watch out for
- Write down outage dates and missed appointments as they happen. That's what gets you the credit.
- Check the next bill to make sure the credit is really there.
- Say no to plan changes or "upgrades" offered during the call unless you asked for them.
