Don't Throw Away Receipts

Our microwave died last week. We only bought this in Feb 07. This was a bit surprising since it was a $150 microwave. Luckily we kept the receipt. So it was easy to get it serviced. There was even a local Panasonic authorized service center nearby. They'll call me when it's fixed.

So this reinforces the need to keep receipts for all major purchases. If I threw the receipt away, I will probably have a doorstop.

Another good thing is I bought it using my AMEX card, so AMEX will double the warranty to 2 years. And I feel I may be needing it.

Losing something makes you appreciate it more. A microwave is indeed a very convenient appliance. I was just thinking about the speed and convenience this box provides. It saves time, and you can leave it unattended to heat your food. When our microwave died, I immediately had to go and get a replacement. It goes to show how useful I think it is.
