Sirius/XM Pricing...

Not BMW, but analogous: my CEO's 2010 Hyundai Tuck has sat radio/Sirius.
When I re-newed it last Sept., I found anecdotes on the web, called Sirius, did the normal cable/sat "it costs too much" blah blah blah negotiation, and got it renewed for ~$90 + royalty fee.

Fast forward to now, a year later, and my 3 calls to Sirius have resulted in zero fookin movement on their part, for a better than list price renewal of ~$150.

V's sub has now expired, (a couple days ago), and another call to them, in as dulcet tones as I can get, resulted in another refusal to move off that BuckFifty ish price, even from the 'retention mgr'.

It ain't the ~$150, it's the fookin principle: theCEO listens to the soft jazz elevator channel and occasionally the pseudo NPR channel. I listen to the 3 classical channels about 10 hrs a year, max. Just seems like a rip for a few hours of a few channels. But, theBoss is applying subtle pressure to renew...

Any good luck, recent anecdotal stories on getting Sirius renewed for less than a Buck Fifty?
Thanks, Ol'UncleMotor
