Default FDX Discount Q -- Cingular

Hey!

Cingular just told me that we no longer have a 20% discount with their company. The customer service representative told me that the "discount number" is still in the system but it does no longer provides a discount.

Anyone else experience this? If this is incorrect, can someone point me in the right direction? (I know there is some type of super secret green screen discount system, but alas, not sure of the inner workings).

Thanks

Best I can do for you is to tell you to ask your ACP's assistant. They are usually able to navigate the maze of the Green screen. My 15min brief from indoc is long forgotten

Default Sprint discount

We get a decent discount with Sprint (22% I think?).

That said, I've had bad luck with their "free" phones (2 have died and they charge me $55 for a replacement). And I thought that the reception on my previous T-Mobile cell phones was much better. It's not likely that I'll stay with Sprint after my contract is up.

Doesn't sprint extend your contract everytime you call them? I think I still have at least a quarter century left from getting the discount applied

We get a Verizon discount too........I think Cingular just merged with ATT and that might be your problem.

From the Flight Ops main menu, select Mainframe. Then launch the BlueZone 3270 software. When you get a Mainframe display, type "mail". Enter your user id and password, the same ones you use for any of the FedEx systems. You will be presented with an TAO main screen... Select "B" for Bulletin Board, then type "fun". You will be taken to a part of the system which holds the fun stuff, both for Memphis as well as National. Place an "L" in the column next to either Funstuff-mem or funstuff-nat. Then PFKey 8 to go forward and PFKey 7 to go backwards (from screen to screen), while the space bar will move you down from one line to the next. When you find something that interests you, put a "R" next to it and hit the enter key.

Hope this helps. Oh by the way, PFKey 2 will get you out of there.

I think typing "discount", instead of "fun", in the bulletin board will get you more possibilities.

Go to "discount-corner-natl" if you're outside of MEM.

You actually don't even have to use the "green screen." Behind a FedEx Firewall, (ie in the crew lounge) open the following link...

Thank you, Green Screen Jedi Master

FYI: We have a 22% Discount at Cingular

Since the merger it is my guess that the discount was not transferred.

Also try

www.cingular.com/benefits/fedex

It takes you to an ATT site, and it looks like the discount is still there. Hope that helps.
