Refund and Adjustment

June 13th, 2020 at 02:14 pm

My refund from Amazon came almost immediately -- $8.04 -- woo hoo! It will be interesting to see if the toilet paper ends up being delivered anyway. Supposedly it was being shipped, but that had been the status for quite a while.

No spending yesterday. Today I will do some laundry, but will stay in otherwise. The weather is nice and cool, so I'll be sure to take a walk this morning.

I slept late this morning -- till 7:30! That's late for me; I'm usually up as soon as the sun rises, which is around 5:30. I've learned to sleep through Iggy's meowing.

I got online yesterday to renew my senior benefits card, which permits me free riding on local buses and trains, as well as a reduced fee for license plates. My current card will expire at the end of July. When I started filling out the app, I realized that if I waited to renew on July 16, I could use my 2019 tax data rather than my 2018 data. 2019 was a lower income year for me, since I didn't earn any consultant wages at all, so I decided it would make sense to wait.

I'm not sure when I will ride trains and buses again, after all. I'm certainly not ready to do that now, with the virus still very strong and active -- I will be doing all moving around in the safety of my car. I just renewed my license plates, so there is no hurry there, either.

Just got notice that my semi-annual auto insurance payment will be withdrawn on July 1. It seemed very high -- $655 -- but I always have that reaction. It's actually in line with what I paid last year. And I've gotten some refunds, but they have totaled only $43.

Supposedly I'm getting $904 in discounts, which includes safe driver, anti-theft alarm, being over 55 and retired, having antilock brakes, using the easy pay plan, having seatbelts, multi-policy, being a good payer and using Drivewise, an app that monitors my driving habits. Also something called "early signing," but I don't know what that is. It's worth $176, though!

I realized, while looking over my insurance, that my variables formula needed an adjustment, since I wasn't keeping out quite enough for taxes and insurance. It is such a slight adjustment, though, that my variables are still at 42% this month.

    Did you get any type of lowering of your insurance premium due to Covid and not driving as much? We have not seen any on our insurance premiums yet.

    Yes, the $43 mentioned above was a COVID-related refund. I got another $17 today.
