Or you could just ask what deals they have. They know you aren’t canceling.

To get the really cheap rate, go ahead and actually cancel. In a couple of weeks, they’ll send you something in the mail for 6 months for like 5 bucks.

One too many years for me.

A couple of years ago I battled them based on advice from here, got bounced around a bunch, and never really got the down to the deals everyone else said they were getting. I think some of this is luck of the draw on the reps you get.

My last subscription expired in December 2020. I had the 3 year $99 plan for 1 vehicle. I had let it expire in 2017 for nearly a year before they offered me the 3 years for $99.

They keep offering a cheap renewal rate for $5 a month for first 6 - 12 months, then it jumps to a $17 a month. I keep telling them no, that I'll do the 3 year plan again if they offer it, but nothing else.

I honestly am unsure how they are still turning a profit, no way they last long

I canceled and told them never to call again, although I do get mail from them every day. Too much run around to get the low rate and too much talking/SJWing from the DJs.

With All the music streaming available I don’t get why anyone would get sirius/XM unless you are getting it for specific talk shows that can’t be streamed anywhere else.

My subscription ended 2 months ago. I got an offer in the mail a few days ago for $4.99 a month. I renewed for a year.

Just check your account online, they will offer the $5-$6 price without any song and dance.

I recently played chicken with them. Threatened to cancel unless i got $60/1 year. They wouldn’t budge from $60/6 mos. i said to cancel and they called my bluff. So I cancelled. Signed up for a new account with a different email address and got the $60/1 year price.

I have 3 cars that have had SXM at some point in the past. All 3 have been offered $5/month for 12 months.

I have it on one of the 3 and tell them to give me that deal to renew. Happens each time.

I feel bad for anybody who is paying full price for an XM subscription.

I'm at $75/yr for one vehicle and the internet radio. Just give them comparative price points and they'll bend. Spotify, Pandora, Amazon music etc.
