Sirius XM pricing

I use a virtual CC with a limit of 10$ month set.
I also set calendar.. and I dont care if it lapses for a few months.

After on the last vacation where we had no cell service 30-40% of the journey, I let it expire. I cancelled the month before. Now I get a daily email for $5 a month + 63¢ a month in royalties and taxes. Probably didn't listen more than a couple hours a month.

So-you used it on vacation. What do you listen to now?
 
i enjoyed the REAL 50's channel BUT only using a home "boom box" + the little receiver that plugs into it continually fails + the "refurbished ones they send under warranty are short lived or dont work i got tired of sending for a replacement + being without service so i cancelled!! i would gladly pay $10 monthly considering the gouging of TV that i mostly listen to music on until FOOTALL season!!!

I cancelled my Sirius a month before the deadline. It was still active on my last vacation. YouTube without ads is worth more than they charge IMW. The YT Premium music is used a lot on walks and in the bedroom at night. Now in the car too.
 
Bought a SiriusXM $50 gift card from Amazon (w/Prime discount -2.50), applied it to a 12 month sub @ $4.51/mo with all royalties,taxes

Then removed the CC from account (inserted an already cancelled CC which can not be billed or used)
 
I am lucky enough to live in a place where there's like '13 channels of stuff on the tv to choose from'*, and that's before I get to 100.1

If I lived out past the pyramids, I'd pay 5$ a month. Maybe. I have a pretty extensive collection of audiobooks....so maybe not for a while.

But yeah, I get emails and paper letters from them for $5/month. Even for cars I haven't owned in years..... I get maybe 10 paper letters a year. I appreciate the business they give to the post office.

* I like Pink Floyd......
 
Sounds like they haven't learned anything. I bought my 2004 GMC Sierra in 2006 which had an active XM subscription but ended a month later and I subscribed to it.... sometime later the two companies merged and the XM radio stations that I was listening to were dropped for the Sirius ones. My credit card had expired and I never updated their website with the new information but they still charged it, I was going to do a chargeback but they told me it would be easier if they would reverse the charges. I had already learned how they were when cancelling, I called them and they kept transferring me around to other people trying to retain me as a customer by offering special rates for the next 6 months, etc... I finally got the last person but the background noise was way too loud and could barely understand them, I was able to get them to cancel the subscription and refund my card.

All you have to do is search online for how to cancel their subscription and there are a lot of websites where others have gone through hoops to get it done. At the time they didn't have a way to cancel online so you had to physically call them on the phone. I will never sign up with them again.

Evidently now to cancel you have to use their online chat, you still cannot just login into your acct online and do it which is totally ridiculous if you ask me.

They've literally been doing this for 20+ yrs....

After the recent three-month freebie, they're offering $5 a month for 12 months.

I haven't signed up for anything, not worth I can listen to regular radio or cd's.

I'm sure many or most of you that subscribe to Sirius XM already know this, but for those that don't....

I received an email from Sirius XM two months ago advising me that my subscription will automatically renew in August for one year at $23.05 per month. No further reminders of course as most people will forget and not act so far in advance, but I keep it on my calendar. So today I engaged their chat box on their website and said that I would re-subscribe only if I can get the same price I had this past year. I doubt a reason is needed, but I nonetheless said that I only use it in one car and often get drop outs here where I live in the mountains (true), and so their renewal price was not worth it.

Within minutes they came back with a price of $7.35/month including all taxes and fees for the same service for one year, a 68% discount and actually a little below this past year's price.

I do this every year and never have a problem, whether on the phone or through the chat box. The chat box saves me the struggle of dealing with a heavy foreign accent and eliminates much of the small talk. Be sure to keep the renewal date on your calendar. I'm sure they make a fortune on the people who forget until they notice two months of billing at list price on their credit card.

You’re paying too much! I’ve got it for $5.24 a month. Need to negotiate.

The trial lapsed on my Genesis last winter and I waited and got a letter from them offering 2 years for $5 a month, no cancellation fees or contract, so I signed up.

I always engage a rep on the chat and tell them I wish to cancel. After a couple of times repeating this, I get their best offer. That's just the game you've got to play with them.

I was able to use a 3 months for $6 promo twice. Then they were going to charge $30 for a premium plan. I told them I am not interested and to cancel, after going back and forth they got me to $6 a month. I thought I was getting a good deal at $6/mo but now I see you guys with $3, $4, and $5 / mo plans makes me want to renegotiate!
 
One car seems to be free (it’s been 4+ years), the other one was $99 for 3 years and $127 out the door, up front.

I regret not doing the 5 year option as it was a little less per year . We use the streaming all the time. I didn’t see it coming but my then 8 yo would learn a lot of songs as a result.

When it runs out I’ll try for $2.75/mo. Because $4/mo with taxes and fees is likely $5.25 or close.

Now that I got $99/3 yrs, I want below $3/mo if nothing comes to renew and I have to call.

Basically it’s like Billy Shatner and the name your price tool. They’ll put up a credit to work backwards to what you want. But the $99 offer was a mailer targeted to our GM car.
