I waited a while to find the $5/month for platinum service, since I wanted to listen to sports. The price is good for a year and it starts after my free trial. Since the NFL is seasonal, i have no problem canceling and waiting a month or two for another good offer. Sirius really is a shell game and they count on you forgetting to cancel so they can start billing you $24 a month. For those that have a credit card that will let you generate new CC numbers and expiration dates, use those for your subscription and set the expiration date for the last month of your "introductory" price...
