ZERO.
I have about 1500 songs on a memory stick and plug it into the USB port in the car. I can drive from here to New Mexico and never hear the same song twice. Best of all each and every one of them is a song that I like.

I'm set up with the removable Stratus unit and have docking mounts in my car, truck, camper, boat, ice house, garage, and a portable one for wall tent etc. Got tired of paying the big bill every year and took a chance on getting a lifetime receiver off ebay. Was skeptical of getting hosed but it's still working fine. When I cancelled my old service the Hindu dude shot me about six offers, going lower each time. Said no each time, till it was damn near free. Still said no!

The free trial on my truck ran out. They haven’t called. Any tips on how to get the offer? I'm surprised they didn't email you a new offer. Visit their web page and go from there. Right now you can also stream music through your smartphone for free on your existing account. That may be subject to change in the future.

I had them for years and used it often but thought they were gouging with the price for renewal so I called.and canceled. He said they'd give me three months free with renewal , nope, cancel. He then said they'd drop the price nearly in half, nope , cancel. He gave me an unbelievably low price and I was pissed. Why don't you charge a reasonable price and reward loyalty? He had no reply, I canceled. They're still sending renewal offers...too little too late.

About $6 a month here as well. Last time our subscription ran out they refused to drop below $120 for 6 months. Told them I wouldn’t pay it. Finally after 6 weeks they agreed to the old rate. Told me I had to agree to renew at the normal rate. Refused and they accepted it. NEVER EVER give them a credit card.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

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? Cancel and they'll offer an annual rate of about $75. Same here,it's well worth 6 bucks a month.

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’m covered for music by Spotify with Higbean on DJ. I’ll check my spam filter.

Hey Hank, call them and tell them you can afford that and think it's best to let it go. I did that a couple of months ago and now I 'm on a month by month for about 6.20$ counting tax.

If you pay Sirius you're paying for communism.

If you have cell and unlimited data you can Pandora, Spotify, I heart radio, etc. I like it better for music than Sirius XM. Doesn’t do a lot of good if you travel where there isn’t a signal or you don’t have unlimited data.

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..

I think I paid around $120 for one car plus streaming and I do the sports for the football games. They wanted the $225. I listen more in my home than in my car these days as we do fewer road trips than we used to.
