Renew or Cancel?

The complimentary Sirius Satellite Radio that came with my new vehicle expires on 8/28.

From the get go, I thought, "Oh this is nice but not really necessary, I've got my NPR & my iphone what more could I need?"

Well, those sneaky Mad (wo)Men sure know how to play me, because now I don't know if I can give it up!!! I like to choose a genre of entertainment/music- "80's on 8", "Fox News", "CNBC", "Coffee House", "Martha" (love the program "Whatever with Alexis & Jennifer)

It's $142.25 for 13 months, which is reasonable....but.....need your input bloggy friends.....Will I be holding a funeral for my satellite radio?

  1. I was faced with the same issue last month when our sirius radio expired. What did I do? Delay it a few more months by only paying $38 and then I'll decide in October ;)

    Not that the decision will be any easier then.

  3. Hubby has a 6 month subscription free with our new car, and we'll face the same decision in November. I'm not sure what we'll do, but he is LOVING it right now, so I have a feeling we'll re-up. I don't necessarily think it's worth it, but I'm sure he would disagree!

  5. Without a doubt renew! When we bought our SUV it came with the package ~ never thought I'd fall so in love with it. When my husband just recently bought his new car, it was one of the first things we asked about.

  6. I think my fiance will be in the same boat come December. He has the same attitude as you, but i think he's starting to get used to it. I guess it just depends how much time you spend in the car.

  7. WOW! I don't have sirius and honestly I can not believe that everyone is so in love with it! I do run an office of men and one came in here all panicked the other day when he told me what was wrong I almost died! His sirius radio had gone dead because it expired. He waas not sure how he was going to make it through the day and he begged I kid you not begged me to renew it. I laughed him out of the office and told him if wanted it renewed he could pay for it. He did renew it! But none of the other guys including my husband renewed theirs. It's not a mjor investment and if it brings you enjoyment I say do it! but on the other hand you already have a radio and an ipod which all play music! LOL

  8. I had a three month subscription when I got my car and I have not been able to give it up! I absolutely love it! My brother told me that some good deals are to be found if you search online and if you call and say you are going to cancel they can offer other deals. :) worth a try?

  9. I'll confess. My car came with 6 free months and I never even bothered to set it up!
