I’m just wondering – is Sirius Satellite Radio in trouble? You see, I just purchased a serious mommy vehicle – a Honda Odyssey minivan (my second one – the transmission blew on the first one after only 68,000 miles – but that is a different story), in July. One of the “perks” was free XM radio for 3 months.
Of course, towards the end on my trial period, I got several – errr, daily – calls trying to get me to sign up for the service for some nice low monthly rate. Summoning some inner strength, I turned them down flat. (After all, how much is the 80′s channel and Radio Disney truly worth?)
Eventually, the calls stopped and XM went silent in my car.
Until today.
I received a letter in the mail informing me that Sirius satellite radio is now once again activated in my car for a free two week period. During this time I can sign up for 5 months of service for only $20. Did you hear that – a mere $20. My daughter is in Hanna Montana heaven! Naturally, if I do not cancel within the trial period, service will continue at the regular monthly rate. I am sure that the XM folks are banking on this. And in my case – the odds are against me.
So – what should I do? Pass up this excellent five month offer and deprive myself of the best of Adam Ant, Mister Mister, and Duran Duran – or bite the bullet and set an ical reminder to cancel at some future date?
Advice, please?
