Practical Tips
Adequate home
insurance coverage
HAVE YOU EVER wondered if the amount of
insurance on your home is adequate? People
often assume that a dwelling’s coverage limit
should equal the assessed or market value of
the property. Unfortunately, that may be insufficient to fully cover a loss in the event the home
is totally destroyed in a fire or natural disaster.
Covering the reconstruction value or the full
amount needed to rebuild the home is essential.
Ameriprise Auto & Home Insurance online
can help you calculate what it may cost to
reconstruct your home and provide a home-owners insurance quote, with the option to purchase the policy, all done from the convenience
of your home computer. It’s quick and easy.
In most states you will receive an extra discount for being a Costco member. A home
quote tool is available from Ameriprise to
Costco members living in Arizona, California,
Connecticut, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio,
Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and
Washington. The service will add Colorado and
Illinois in late April.
Start by visiting Costco.com and entering
“home insurance” in the search box.

ACCESSLINE OFFERS Costco members the
combination of a digital phone system and digital
phone service with built-in savings for their
business. Here’s what one member experienced.
We’re constantly making calls the world over. Those
calls need to be clear, and they need to be low cost.
AccessLine delivered on both counts. The system
provides so much more functionality than our
previous setup. The features are really applicable
to the day-to-day operations that happen in a busy
office. Plus, I love that I can call [AccessLine] with
any question and get a live person on the phone.
AccessLine’s sales and support teams are just
phenomenal. They’ve created a great system that
keeps the install and service processes simple and
easy to understand. We could see the cost savings
right away.
