You know you might get it yet. If they can't fill it they could very well call you back. I'm the same though. I draw my line in the sand and I won't budge. I was asked to do some home improvement stores that were a long drive for me. I asked for a $90 incentive and was told that I was wasting my time and wasting their time. I felt quite bad about it until they called me back three days later and said could I please do it and they'd give me the $90 incentive.

Techman01, your words were, "Them calling you means they were in a bind. So time to extract more."
I inferred from this statement that you raised your price because they were in a bind, not because your circumstances had changed. If I inferred incorrectly, I apologize.

my price twice, the 3rd time when they emailed/called agreeing to my 75
I would of said sorry, that was the price then, now its 100.

Can use any number of reasons you want but most get the message
the first time you do it. I do have one msc that still hasn't learned after
years, and still ends up almost always having to pay me more then i
initially offered.

Arent bonuses based on zip code that you have registed on their web site? i dont think companies base bonus offers on where you might be on any given day. i havr had schedulers pull up my zip code on mapquest and map out distance to their shop offer. i hear cliking on keyboard.

I love this thread!
I've been so afraid to ask for what I really should ask, when figuring out bonus money.
And I've never, even though I've been told by a few scheduler's to draw a line in the sand.
A big thank you to all that have contributed to this particular thread.
