Ah ultimately we got the 1 year for $10.xx a month but paid for it upfront so $127 after taxes and whatnot... and still got to keep the echo dot. But I don't recommend that route
It was kinda a mess and at this point I am just happy we were charged correctly in the end and didn't buy the whole company with the amount of charges I have on various cards.
(all because hubby forgot to call for an offer and change the card on file
before it renewed. I'm hoping that's a lesson learned but, ah, probably not since that's Future Mr. miztressuz problem...)
But looking around online I think I saw the $30 for 6 months offer code still kicking. Might have been a slick deals code.
