Call every single time to cancel and you'll get is for $7 a month for the next year. I've done it for a decade.

I think it’s about 7 or 8 bucks a month.
That's how much Netflix is. Sirius shouldn't be charging more than half of that.

Douche, I haven’t listened since
I don't mind the 80s DJs, although Nina Blackwood is a chore to listen to sometimes as she struggles to get words out of her smoke-destroyed lungs. But for whatever reason, I absolutely loathe Meg Griffin on the Beatles channel. I don't really catch her on other channels, but I listed to the Beatles one (18) a lot, and she is on every afternoon. And her voice and the way she talks just bugs me to my core.

Last time I did the “call to cancel” routine, i locked into a cheap flat rate billed annually and renews at the same rate. IIRC it’s about $7/month and renews every December.

Chatted them down to around $6/month if I paid for a year.

I play this game with them every year. I call them and tell them Im not reupping for 20 and that I want my current rate. They come back with some bullshite offer and I tell them no. Within a week or 2 I get the $4/mth offer in the mail and reinstate.
As others have said, if you are paying $7 you are still paying too much.

Spotify and don’t look back.
$20/month for premium and it's worth every penny. My family gets 6 accounts with unlimited downloads(no need for cell service), zero commercials, and 15 hrs a month each account for the premium audio books.
I Don't know why anyone pays for any other music/news/podcast service

Wait until they offer the $4/month deal. They will eventually, if you don't respond to them. They offered it to me a couple of days ago.
I had Xm and listened to it for a few years. I let it go because they kept going up in cost, then recently got the free trial after I had my car serviced at the dealership.Surprisingly, I never even once turned Xm on in the car during the 90 day period, as I listen to Spotify pretty exclusively now.
So, even at recently offered $4 rate, I decided not to renew.
It's an interesting business model all these subscription services have. Get you in at a reasonable rate, start elevating that rate until you quit, then re negotiate at an incredibly low rate if you bother to challenge them.

i just called to “cancel” and said no to the first offer at $11/mo and then accepted the next offer at $7/mo. btw it’s all AI now and went smooth. call lasted 4 minutes total

If you actually let it cancel, you’ll receive an email in a week or so for $3 -$4 a month.
That’s what I did and I think the offer I took a few weeks later was about $4 or $5 for 12 months.

Yeah if you pay a penny over $8 you walk
Posted on 9/4/25 at 8:07 am to JackieSonnier
Congrats on the new car

Don’t pay over 8 dollars. I’ve been with them a long time. Every year they increase me to 24.00+ I call and cancel, they come back with a 5 to 7 dollar price.

I call every time my promo period ends. Had XM so long I don't think I could deal with only having FM options
Posted on 9/4/25 at 8:12 am to JackieSonnier
Switched to Spotify years ago and never looked back

Currently have the 3 free month promo from a dealership service call. Just got the offer for $4/month for 12 months. I'm tempted.
I pretty much have everything I need between Apple Music, MLB.tv app, iHeart app, and Tune-In app.
The only thing I listen to on XM-Sirius is the College Sports channel and a couple of others, but could live without it too.
