I love my Sirius XM radio!  LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!  Especially since XM merged with Sirius because I get to listen to Elvis Radio!  And Little Steven’s Underground Garage.  I also love 80’s on 8, 70’s on 7, 60’s on 6, 50’s on 5, New Wave, Siriusly Sinatra and Willie’s Place.

At any rate, my subscription just came up for renewal and I was able to negotiate a really good deal that I thought I would share with you.  I called the cancellation department and told them that I was hoping they might help me because I didn’t want to have to cancel the service but the renewal amount, $149.00 was beyond my budget.  The cancellation rep said she could offer me a special price of 88.78 for the year.  I declined saying I had heard about a special rate of 77.00.  “The 88.78 is the 77.00 rate except there is a 12.00 fee for music royalty fees.”

I asked her to wipe the royalty fee.  She refused.  I asked her to credit me a month.  Still nothing.  We sat in silence for a bit.  I then said, “If you take away the royalty fee I will give you my credit card right now.”

She put me on hold and when she came back on she told me she would charge my credit card 79.80.  Hooray!  Just under 7.00 a month for commercial free radio!  I signed up for another year!
