Too lazy to figure out

Hello all,
Had a email from Sirius about another rate increase. Seems that they paying for artist copyrights (i could be wrong) for playing their songs. Pricing for one year,get a month free. 2 yrs= 5 months free & 3yrs= 9months free. Since I'm too lazy to figure out, what does this equal out to? Thanks for any help. GG

One yr subscription = 9% off
Two yr subscription = 19% off
Three yr subscription = 25% off

I don't know what the service costs, let's assume $100 per yr.

One yr = $100 (less 9%) = $91 per yr
Two yr = $200 (less 19%) = $81 per yr
Three yr = $300 (less 25%) = $75 per yr

Maybe it was intentional to teach a lesson for laziness.

The differences are minischool however, I chose two year based on a Risk/Reward scale.

Let's say you are to manage a 500 car fleet with a Sirius option on all 500 for a period of three years. You must sign the same option for all vehicles. You also realize you won't have all 500 for the full three years, some will break down, get stolen, get wrecked, you get sick of and get traded, you just don't know what the future holds in store for all 500.
You just know it's a given you are going to eat some contract costs over the three year for a portion of the vehicles.

The Best Reward is the cheapest rate ...3 yr, $75 per yr, 25% off.
The Best Risk is the shortest term...1 yr, $91 per 9% off.

On scale, you hedge your bet selecting Best Reward available for the Least Risk available, 2 yr.

Not to sound like a total butt, but can't you transfer the sirus tuner or radio modual around to a different vehicle? My dads old xm radio worked like that, i could hook the antena onto my old jeep and put his little thing in and hook it to my radio and i had xm in my jeep.

I guess if it's transferable and I knew I'd would want it for the foresable future and I knew I'd always have some vehicle then I'd go with a three year plan.

I really don't know anything about pay radio.
I didn't have cable tv until about ten years ago.
