The only caveat is that there are no tellers, so you have to do all your banking by ATM, phone, or internet. If you're okay with this, PCF is the way to go.

Do a search on your library's catalogue (usually available online.) You'd be surprised what blockbusters they'd have. I've saved alot of money this way. Some caveats to this though: 1. They won't have new releases (usually they won't have movies less than 2 years old) 2. The condition of the DVDs might not be the best. 3. If it's a popular movie, chances are it will be already checked out and you'd be put on a "hold" list. One more tip: Borrow movies from your public library!

Hehe... Thank to share more on the negotiation tips. Hmm… I will suggest you to write an article to share more about the tips of negotiation “negotiate to the max”. For me, I will use same trick as well (threatening to leave their service) but I will use it as a last option. I will first tell them that I’ve been a loyal customer, prompt payment (If you are) and therefore I request this and that. I will suggest you to talk to Manager or the decision maker as sometimes the customer services officer or sales executive they don’t have such authorities to make decision. Thank TS…
