Sirius SiriusXM : Renew for $30/6 months or $60/year without having to call up

+130 Deal Score
52,079 Views
So this is new...

I went to my SiriusXM account. It was about to expire tomorrow, and I didn't want to pay their ridiculous "normal rates".

Normally, this means you have to call in and talk to a sales person who tries hard to sell you a crappy rate unless you hold firm for a while and then you get an OK rate.

Anyway, I was prepared for that. But I called in and...there are no CSRs available during normal working hours. Hmmm...I know, Coronavirus.

Anyway, I go back to the website and hit the "Cancel" button for my subscription. Normally, all this does is give you a popup about how you can call them to cancel.

But this time, it brought up a page saying "before you go, how about one of these offers...?"

And the offers were:

$30 for 6 months SIrusXM Select
$60 for 12 months SiriusXM Select
$100 for 12 months SiriusXM All Access

I picked the $60 deal. It came to $72 with taxes and fees. I was done in 30 seconds.

(All Access gives you more sports and Howard Stern, in case you're wondering).

Very happy not to have had to talk to a CSR.

It would be nice if they gave a nice discount for a year's service during this time. I'd go back for the right price ($30 a year). The problem that I had with SiriusXM is that when I'm in the car I want to listen to music, not some random DJ who I could care less about. They talk way too much, and not enough music is played on the music stations. When I want to hear people talk I'll go to one of the stations that does that. The only thing that kept me around longer was live Fantasy football. That was cool.

**Edit** NM found it. Had to goto Help and Support to cancel the account and it's found in that drop down box.

Where do you go to cancel?

My last deal had been ended 2 months ago and I hadn't called to cancel/get a better offer yet. Took me longer to find my password than it did to go through the process.

I didn't know they offered online cancel now. I called to cancel 2 months ago, and they offered Select monthly plan of 4.99 for 1 year. ($60 for a year)

This might as well be their normal price, about what it's worth. I just go 90 day trial to 90 day trial; just change my email every time and never had any issues.

Pro move is to buy $100 worth of Xm Radio cards at Best Buy ( using your discounts and gift cards of course), add $100 to your XM account. When your expiration time is near (like 2 days before the expiration, Call and say all ya got is $100 in the account and you want a year of all access for $100 all in (includes taxes and fees). Boom. They got the money, you got a year for $100. Been doing this for years.

It would be nice if I didn't have to talk to XM at all. All they care about is getting the most out of you and make you feel cheap.

Considering most people use in car and most people aren't commuting, they are probably worried about losing people forever

Well, that's the point of this thread: Now you don't have to talk to them!
