My annual XM radio subscription dance.

[Bud]

Current sub ends today. Called "customer care". My offer, same as last years plan at $4.99 per month plus taxes and fees or cancel. Response of best rate $214. No, last year or cancel. Response $144 per year plus taxes and fees. No, last year or I cancel. Response, since you are a loyal customer $5.99. No, last year or cancel. OK.

 

They are well trained and don't ever want to cancel but they want the highest price they can get. They don't know how frugal Beemer owners are.

Maybe they want a piece of the pie.

Every renewal.

I dug out my old Roady II. This is a portable XM unit from the mid 2000's. I bought one subscription and have the Beemer, Jeep, and motorhome all set up to quickly transfer the Roady to them for trips. I won't pay for multiple subscriptions for one owner.
