So, I was toying with the idea of signing up for XM again....took a look at their 'official price' (yes, I know deals can be made) and it was $12.xx/month. Well last night about 10 minutes before the ball drops (yeah, the fun of a baby) I pulled up their site and on their pricing page is said it was down for maintenance. Did not think too much, until this morning and I pull it up and it is now $14.49/month!!! They did not waste any time is 12' making more money! I have a feeling these 'deals' will be more too now....oh well...:redbrick:

I noticed since my trial membership runs out in March. However, if it helps any, signing a 3 year deal saves a little cash. Yet, I'm with you on the price increase.
 
I won't be paying anymore than what I have been, as much as I like a lot of the talk shows, having blu tooth streaming already made it hard for me to justify getting it. I guess we will all see what kinda deals they wanna cut, once you let it expire for a while they are always willing to work with you.
 
I got the lifetime membership (Sirius) after my 2nd year, which was 5 yrs ago now. Glad I did! Love my Howard Stern! I've transferred to new radio once, although I am usually listening online anyway.
 
You can get it for $77 a year plus the license fee. You will need to speak to an American rep to get this deal. I just renewed my Infiniti two weeks ago :)

This subject has been hashed out in a previous thread...you may wish to search and look at it.....

In a nutshell, you can negotiate with them....my subscription ran out and I said that a lot of people were getting a discount of $77 per year and that I would take it if they would come down....he said I'll check, and returned in a minute and said that offer was still valid....

Now here's another thing from the previous thread.....do not pay by credit card other wise it automatically renews in a year at the higher going rate....pay by check....they will charge you $2 extra to bill you....just pay it and mark your check with the radio ID #

Yes......2 weeks ago was 2011.....it is now 2012 and they jumped their rates (hence the thread) so I am curious if that popular 77 deal will now be 88 or 99 or.....
 
al la carte sounded good to me, but you need a special radio capable of al la carte and no sports channels. For me, I just need like 5-10 channels they offer. sat radio is great to have, but I can live without it. not sure why this was titled "we" it is an individual question, or did I miss a meeting???:fishing:

Me too.. Had XM radio for free now almost 2 yrs.. Here is what you do..Subscribed to XM for about 3 months, then all you do is cancel your subscribition.. Next Do NOt turn on your XM radio for about 2 to 3 months so they can't send the cancellation signal to your radio.. It works! Trust me

We must have had the same salesman. Got mine in July 2010 and have never heard anything from XM. Damn thing just keeps working.

I wouldn't pay for it though. I've found that the reception is very spotty in the PNW and Southern BC coast. I still may have been tempted to pay, back before they started running advertisements on it too. Can't stand those either! It's hard to explain what "Male enhancement" is to my 5 year old daughter! :naughty:

same boat here.

i listen to it once in a while but not enough to pay for it.
 
Just got a call from XM saying that although my free subscription is valid till March 2012, they wanted to know if I was interested in continuing the subscription after it expires. I said I was and as a result they offered me a low rate of $28 for 6 months which comes out to about $3-5/ month. I believe that XM is worth that- will reevaluate after 6 months.

just call and say you would like to cancel your service. They will offer you a hell of a deal. My wife has been doing this for 4 years now with her Honda accord. Every time they offer to give her a 3 or 6 month deal that averages 5-6 dollars per month.
