The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Big fan of the SiriusXM product-I’ve been a continuous subscriber for 20+ years and use the app often. Not a fan of the need to call annually just prior to renewal to get the best “promotional rate” but it’s well worth the 10 minute call to save the $100-150!

Ditto. Last couple of years you could go online and click the CANCEL button and it would offer you $60 (plus tax & fees) for another year. In earlier years you could get 1 year for $120-$150 (plus tax & fees) if you called and threatened to cancel--but sometimes you had to call 2 or 3 or 4 times until you got to the right agent.

Last September that button disappeared, so I called and got rather testy, said I was tired of having to call every dam year. He said he could make me an offer that they only offered to 6% of their favorite customers. Yeah, right!
The deal was $6.99/mo (plus tax & fees) forever, and I would never have to call ever again. That's $84/yr, cheaper than it used to be, and I never have to call again. Some people said they got offered $5.99/mo, but that was only good for one year.
