Default New XM Sub question

My wife's new Honda Pilot includes a nice built In XM Radio. We're going to buy a 3 year XM Sub for it, (the length of her lease), and would like to add the Best of Sirius to the Sub. If we pre-pay 3 years for the XM Sub, how is The Best Of Sirius handled? Is that done month to month? Or, if can we also purchase that for 3 years upfront and hopefully get a discount.
Thanks!

aren't you brave with a 3 year commitment. Sometime we regret out past decisions.

Not sure, call 1800 XM Radio to be sure.

If you are considering a 3 year sub ($349), add $50 and make it a lifetime ($399). With BoS, its $499.

That is a awfully big commitment considering the situation this company is in right now. Buying a lifetime at this time. Would you expect a partial refund if they go under ? Just make a logical decision that's all I am saying. If you think the company has a bright future then go for it. Maybe you should give it a year only commitment to see how things pan out.

I was not advocating it one way or another. However, if they were going to go for a 3 year plan anyways, lifetime makes sense.

Yeah, I would in no way sub for longer than a year at this point. That still gives you a pretty nice discount.

good replies all, thanks. I'll probably end up going for the 1 year and see how things are then.

Yeah that is more reasonable given the way everything is playing right now. However, I am doing quarterly now and I usually always did yearly subs.

Your wife will enjoy the built in XM Radio, I know the one in my xB is really nice. I actually canceled it recently, but I am already wishing I had not. It has not been turned off yet, so I may just call them and recend that cancelation.
