    You can’t cancel your reservation within 24 hours. You can rebook it. Okay, rebook it for one week out. Call back a day later, cancel.

    If you get married the tradition is for one partner to change their last name to match so both have the same last name.

    We didn’t do that, so we have different last names.

    So when you sign up for services that offer (x) months free or discounted cost per unique household, you use one name, cancel, and sign up under the other name. They don’t know you’re married, don’t know if it’s a rental, or don’t know if it’s a roommate thing. So when we were poor AF we could save a lot of $ on services at least for a few months or so. Usually cable tv that offered a 6-month discount.

      Even with the same last name they don’t know you’re married. We share a last name and have done this a few times before.

        Very late to this. But! If anyone tries to call you on having the same last name and address, depending on the service, you might get away with saying you got a divorce, and whoever was on the old account has moved out 😅
