The Daily Dinar

Interactive Voice Response (IVR) systems can be annoying at times with their maze of options (”Press 1 for accounts, press 2 for customer service, press 3 for support, press 4 for sales..”) and time spent waiting for someone to answer. Ivrhacks is a useful user-maintained database of shortcuts for many Australian, American, Canadian and British companies that lets you exit the maze as quickly as possible in order to reach a real human. For example, here are shortcuts for American Express in Australia, USA, and the United Kingdom.
