I hope you don’t pay full price. I never pay full price. You always call and threaten to cancel and mean it. They will always come back with an offer. My personal best was eight months at four bucks a a month. Now I think I pay a little less than two dollars a week.

I don’t drive as much as I used to but I hate AM/FM and the same old music and endless ads. A handful of channels (Chill, 40s, Elvis, Patriot, Spa) are worth two bucks a week to make a drive more tolerable.

i used to do that but for the last couple of years in DJT’s great economy, I let it slide.

LOL. I do the same thing! Read a couple of internet articles about how to do it when my first free introductory offer was about to expire. No way was I going to spend $20+ bucks a month. I usually end up paying around $6 a month for 6 months, but once they gave me a better deal for a year. I set the calendar on my phone for a day or 2 before the subscription expires.

I've found the key(s) are: (1) say you want to cancel because you can't afford it and then shut up. let them say the next words. And, (2) turn down their first counter-offer .. and then shut up. It gets escalated to someone above the person who answered the phone, and they come back with an even better offer. I'm due to call in a few days, and with the built-in coronavirus economic excuse, I may get creative with my reasoning. It's a game!
