just cancel. You may have to go a few days without it but they will send you a great deal in the mail. I got 6 months free and 6 more months for 24 bucks. Basically 4 dollars a month. Cant beat it

Just let it expire. They will contact you in many different ways to offer you a 6 month deal. Once that is up, cancel, and repeat.

This. But I don't know if you need to even cancel. Had my wife call when both our subscriptions were about to expire and we got basically the deal you mentioned.

This is what I did. I called once and got shot down on the offer. Called right back- spoke to someone else and got 6 months for ~$24

I never had a subscription or trial. The previous owner had the trial.

I would just call them then. Without being registered in their system for your car, they probably won't mail you anything. Just tell them you saw something online for a 6 month special for $24.

Call and tell them that you just purchased a used car, and never had Sirius XM before and would like a free trial.

5 months for 20. They should send you deals after the trial and this should be the lowest

as everyone said, they have always been easy to negotiate with when i call. i basically just ask for the deal to extend and have never had a problem.

This is good to know as I just bought a new car this weekend. For some reason I thought XM was very very expensive.

I believe their regular price is about $15 a month. You have to be careful with these 6 month deals. After the intro rate period is over, the price jumps up to the full amount. You need to call them before the 6 months. Like others have said, if you call right before the 6 months is up and tell them you want to cancel, they will extend it another 6 months, then you have to call again.

I have a dumb question. Are the stations that are on the phone apps the same as the stations that are in cars?

They're all the exact same, correct?

Don't ever give them your credit card # or bank acct. #. They will send you a bill in the mail for a small fee or buy a SiriusXM gift card from Best Buy every 6 months. I have done both but usually go with the gift card.

Last time I cancelled I had a credit balance of less than a $1. I told her to cancel any way and send me the balance. It really confused the lady and she didn't know what to do. She offered 5 months for $20 to not have to figure that shite out.

They always offer me the $25 for 6 months and I accept. I've done that for the past 2 years

Back in 2008 when I first got it I just let it expire and it stayed on for an extra 6 months

Then they sent me a sweet deal

If you want ALL channels, that is about right. But there are music only and talk only packages that cost less.
