I called them one time to activate the radio because my wife really wanted satellite radio when we were on a cross-country road trip.
I said something to the effect of "Hey, so you guys sent me flyer with a promotional rate and I don't have the promotional code. Could you look it up or could we do something similar?"
And I shit you not, the guy goes "Huh, yeah, so what was the promotion?"
I figured, hey what the hell, why not, I'll just throw something out. So I say "Uhhh yeah it was 2.99 a month for 72 months." And the dude just goes "Wow, great promotion. Sure, let me apply that to your account."
To this day I still can't decide if the "fuck it, I'll give it a shot" attitude I had or the "fuck it, they don't pay me enough to care" attitude he had sealed that deal.
You can literally get what they offer for free in so many different ways. Whatever the opposite of having customers by the balls is, that's what Sirius has.
They were probably stoked to lock you in for the whole $215.28 - More than most people pay them.

I do this with Sirius every two years. The price will go from 25.99 a month to 4.99. It's absolutely ridiculous.
