TEN FOR TODAY 8. CUT YOUR CELL PHONE BILL Both T-Mobile and Verizon go out of their way to attract ABMP members. T-Mobile offers members a 10 percent discount on monthly recurring charges, as well as providing free or discounted prices on a rotating list of phone accessories. Right now, for example, ABMP members can get a free Sony Speaker Ball (valued at $69.99) with the purchase of a Sony Xperia Z phone. Verizon offers up to a 15 percent discount on phone or data plan charges, as well as discounts on phones and accessories. "Any way you look at it, it's a better deal than what you'd get in a store," says Phillip Madigan of Verizon. 9. SAVE BIG ON COMPUTERS AND ELECTRONIC PRODUCTS Dell wants massage therapists to run their businesses on Dell products, so the company offers a best price guarantee to ABMP members, which means more than 30 percent off select PCs and tablets, 10 percent off select electronics and accessories, and something off virtually everything. "Dell partners with ABMP because of our strong corporate relationship with you guys," says Monica Bloemen, a manager with Dell's Member Purchase Program. "Because of that relationship, members and their families are eligible for discounts on all Dell products." 10. TAKE THE INSIDE TRACK ON TAX PREPARATION ABMP members can download a coupon to get a $15 discount on tax preparation services at any of the 11,000 H&R Block offices nationwide, says Kevin Leek, director of business development for the company. Those doing their own returns using H&R Block At Home software can get as much as a 35 percent discount on the fi ling charges. Rebecca Jones is a tenured Massage & Bodywork freelance writer.
