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.

If Sirius XM stopped playing stupid games with their subscribers and price, they'd not lose so many accounts.

The first year is around $100. The "retail" price is like $35/month ($420/yr). You have to call and threaten to quit and they'll give you another year "one time only" for anywhere between $60 and $120. You have to do this every damn year.

I have gotten the "one time only" deal for the last 10 years.

Finally this year the guy offered me $6.99/mo (plus tax) for ever, no need to call ever again. He said that only a very few customers got this offer --- which I kind of believe, but not really.

The only reason I take Sirius is because we live in the mountains and the local FM stations fade in and out as we drive around. Plus my wife hated, Hated, HATED me changing stations every time a commercial came on.
