larrylwill Report post Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) Pandora streaming is not a lot, I have 4 Gb plan and including my work email, VPN, Testing clients, games and such I rarely ever use more than 2Gb a month. I stream at least 2 hours of pandora a day.I have 300mb, 1gb is $10 more. We rarely use the cell phone except when traveling or in the car. 50 music stations for $5 is way more then we would use. However if I could get that $25 for 6 months with auto renew at that price like someone got that would be great. I guess I have to call them.

md13ffhguy Report post Posted November 16, 2014 When I called to cancel, they immediately offered a year at 50% off. That's how you know it's overpriced! 2 corncobs and hybridbear reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djminfll Report post Posted November 17, 2014 I had Sirius XM for 6 months for free, then called them after 6 months to cancel - they gave me 6 more months for something like $40 or $50 with an auto-renew. I didn't realize the time for renewal had come, so they renewed me for 12 months at regular price. But when that time is up, approximately February 2015, I will call to cancel unless they give me 50% off again for a year. Honestly, I don't use Sirius that much - mostly the traffic when I'm leaving for work so I know if I should take I-95 or the Florida Turnpike. 90% of the time, I have my iPod plugged into the USB port. If I didn't have Sirius, I doubt I'd miss it too much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
murphy Report post Posted November 17, 2014 I have two radios that have no subscription. At least once a month I get an offer by email for 6 months for $25. The music "tax" gets added to that charge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeff_h Report post Posted November 17, 2014 I have two radios that have no subscription. At least once a month I get an offer by email for 6 months for $25. I now have a free 3-month trial subscription on a car I no longer own... sold the 2013 FFH in Dec 2013 and Sirius gave me a prorated refund of unused subscription (so I know they are aware that the car was sold), but got a letter 3 days ago saying that ESN xxxx has been reactivated for a free 3-month trial and they hope I enjoy listening. So wherever the car is, well I hope they enjoy it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DirectorMan Report post Posted December 19, 2014 I got the $29 for six months offer a few days ago. My free subscription expires December 20th. Considering how few stations I find interesting enough to listen to, together with my 30GB a month data plan for listening to Pandora, TuneIn and Slacker, along with the fact that I don't spend a lot of time in the car, I'm tempted to wait until they offer to pay ME to listen to their product.

murphy Report post Posted December 19, 2014 I usually listened to one station. I once asked them if I could get a subscription for one station for $1.00 per month. They said no so I have no subscription. My latest offer, today, is 6 months for $25 and then $14.99 per month plus fees and taxes after that. That's a lot of money to listen while I drive 2.5 miles to the grocery store. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrySql Report post Posted February 4, 2015 I just got a last gasp, desperation, yellow envelope letter from Sirius that tells me that I can get 5 months for $20 for my Flex. 2 TonyHzNV and hybridbear reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
larrylwill Report post Posted February 4, 2015 I have yet to get the first letter even after a phone call.Mine ran out more than 6 months ago. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TonyHzNV Report post Posted February 4, 2015 I have yet to get the first letter even after a phone call.Mine ran out more than 6 months ago.If you really want Sirius, just call them and tell them you heard about the 5 mos/$20 deal and you want to know if you can get that. They'll offer you a deal. I call to cancel every 5 mos and they keep offering me 5 mos/$25, so I take it. Been doing that for quite a while now. This is Sirius "Select" service, not "All Access". Still, you get like 102 channels (in-car only, no Internet). I tried getting deals for Travel Link/Traffic, but no luck there. 1 hybridbear reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thrasher086 Report post Posted February 20, 2015 My trial is going to run out on the 2nd of March. I got a call yesterday to renew Sirius. They made a good offer from the start since I wanted traffic and travel link. It came to 46 bucks and change for 6 months of Sirius select with traffic and travel link. Hopefully I can just keep asking for that for years. 24.95 for 6 months of select and half off the services which comes to 18. Then 3 something for taxes and royalty.

Easy Rider Report post Posted February 23, 2015 Well they have a new scam going now. For $2 I have them invoice me each time.They send an email reminder. I called them and they offered me a year for 80 some dollars.Since I don't like to dicker and that works out to less than $10 a month, I took it. Alas, the confirming email showed a total of over $300.......because they added on a second year at their top price. I called back and raised hell. They assured me that it was a "mistake" and would correct it. I have yet to receive a corrected email OR any invoices. I suspect this saga is not over yet but at least they don't have my credit card number to make any automatic charges. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Howie411 Report post Posted March 3, 2015 I renewed yesterday. Told them I wanted the same deal as last time. 5 months of sirius and 5 months of traffic. Came out to $39 which is basically $5 a month with an extra $2 a month for traffic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
