SiriusXM is offering 3-year and 5-year deals for inactive radios, though I'm not sure of the exact details of which radios qualify. Streaming is included in the plans. The plan is the "XM Music & Entertainment" plan.
The 3-year deal is for $99, while the 5-year deal is $149. Each gets the 21.4% royalty fee plus local sales taxes added. Neither plan automatically renews.
This offer came in the mail. It listed my radio ID and an account #, which I plugged in to

So I am always 100% willing to walk away if I don't get the ~$60/year deal. And even though sometimes they will say it's not available, at the last second they miraculously find it. I've never (yet) had to actually cancel and let it expire. But I would if necessary.
But it is a major hassle to have to call every year.
And the new $5.99 was the regular plan, the after cancelled plan for $4.99 a month plan was the platinum plan............

I didn't even wait a day, more like 5 minutes … 🤣

They are a podcast about Howard stern
I also have Spotify, but the channel format of XM is great for music discovery or simply wanting to listen to a few hours of say, Christmas jazz without having to build a playlist. XM seems to do a pretty good job of curating those channels, and I appreciate that for $5/month.
edit: they will likely say "We can give you a free month!" but not say that it goes up to a hiked price after. Or even offer a free radio to keep you on.
This thread actually jogged my memory so I logged into my wifes account to see if I can change/chat/cancel through there and it said a better rate was available for 12 months at $60...but for some reason there are like multiple subscriptions now under the account so going to give it a couple days to see if it clears up and then call if not.
Don't even have to do that anymore. Their automated phone bot will give you $5 per month if you tell it you want to cancel

I did this deal a few years ago. I called and told the rep I was planning on buying a new car. She assured me it would transfer. I went from a 2004 Acura MDX to a 2016 Honda Pilot. The plan would not transfer because when the mdx was built it was a different platform or something. They did refund me the unused portion of what I paid but I would have rather the 4.5 years left transferred.
