Just got my renewal notice. $240-something bucks this next year which I think is highway robbery. I only listen to 5-6 stations which compounds the issue. I remember grumbling when it was $120 a year.
Anybody have any success stories about talking them down? Every time.... It's costing me about $90/year for the truck and two bikes... Just call to cancel your service.....trust me, they'll send you over to 'customer retention' and suddenly you'll get a mucho better deal.. What everyone else is saying. Set a reminder for a couple days before renewal date. Call them to "cancel" your service. They'll make you a much better offer. I pay around $35 every 6 months. It's a pain, but its the game you have to play with them.

I used to have XMSirius.
Now mostly (97%) where i travel i have cell service.
Morning / eve drive to work i listened to podcast. Or streaming music.
I like that better than XM. most of its free.
Though i did get premium stitcher ( podcast ) on Black Friday.
No commercials.

I joined in 2005 & received a Lifetime membership for a one time payment of $350. Still going strong.
They stopped that offer somewhere about 2012 I think.

I just called because my old deal expired and I went to full price. I didn’t even have to talk to a live person. They had a recording offering the select package, 12 months for $60. Done.
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

Had it back one day and feel life is a new normal! Behind the wheel about 50 hours per week. Music, talk, music, music, talk...

Anybody have any success stories about talking them down? I went from $6 bucks a month to $82 a quarter, $328 per year. I cancelled immediately and remained cancelled for a month as they kept coming up with better offers I settled on $5 a month for a year $60 which also included a free $30 Alexa Echo Dot! I got the same offer in the mail a week or so ago. $5/month and free Alexa Echo Dot. Haven’t taken them up on it yet.

It’s down to $2.75/month for renewal. $99.00 up front for 2 year subscription.
I was thinking the other day how much I used to hate Bill Clinton. He was freaking George Washington compared to what they are now.

I got 73.92 cdn, taxes and royalties included, for one year. I also got it on record that they cannot charge my credit card for any other charges beyond the initial payment. In other words, when this contract expires, they cannot automatically renew at a high price as they usually try to do. GD

99.00 plus tax, so around 109.00 per year. i've had sirius/xm for many years and never paid over 110.00. for me the secret is to keep up with the date your contract expires. call them about 2 days before the expiration date and tell them to cancel it. they usually offer the 99.00 special. if they don't, cancel the thing. wait a week or so and call em back. tell em you'll only pay 99.00 or less. for me, they have always given me their 99.00 deal. i have sirius in 2 vehicles. might be different where you are. ymmv.

My annual membership was up on May 20th for 2 trucks....the phone call was challenging but I negotiated a 3rd vehicle for 12 months at $217.00 which was slightly lower then I was paying before for the two vehicles.....I don't think they ever want to lose a subscription and will instantly find "Special promotions" to keep you on board for another year.
