Not that I am aware. It's always $180 for us.

A couple of years ago, I got them to admit that the US and Canadian versions were the same disc, and they said because I had figured it out, I could get the $99 deal, but that I'd have to ship to a US address. Since then, I believe they have differentiated the US and Canadian discs.

The US disks are white and the Canada disks are grey. The 07 US disk I had omitted coverage of some spots in Canada deemed unimportant. The Canadian version did not. Also, the US disk seemed to relate everything to the states despite my home location. It locked in on Cali or Seattle for searches, where now it's BC.
I used a backed up version of Canada 2012 maps, worked perfectly. $150 for updates that don't really update that much isn't worth it. This should be a $50 fee at most.

I just called to try to get the $99 US update deal for my Canadian '12 TL and they said I could get it if I had it shipped to a US address but that it only covered USA and 50 miles up into Canada. I decided to research this some more. Personally I think it's just a line they're feeding us to make more money and I highly doubt they would bother making two versions of the map data - one with more data for Canada - but I'm not willing to take a $99 gamble and possibly find out I can't reload or update to the supposed full Canada maps.

Thanks for the info guys. Is the mapping any different or is it just updated roads and POI's?
