Since I now have XM weather on the 496, Foreflight weather on the iPad and ADS-B weather on the AFS 4500 displays in my -8A I called XM to discuss pricing reductions from my current $34.99 per month. Best they said they could do was a one-time 6-month 33% reduction with price going back up to $34.99 after that.
Neither the guy I talked to nor his supervisor were pilots. Tried to get them to engage in a "Why do I now need XM weather?" discussion, but they could only repeat the corporate spiel 6 month offer with no thought to the fact that the best they were going to get from me was 6 discounted payments then zero from then on, vice continued service at some agreeable discounted rate (I like XM weather).
Anyone else have discussions with XM - and if so, who did you talk to?
