"Plan does not auto-renew."

Does this mean the rate doesn't renew or the service doesn't renew?

The one reason I've never subscribed is the horror stories in trying to cancel vs. streaming services where you can just push a button and done. So could you pay for this w/ say, a burner Visa GC, and just let the 3 years run out or will they just send me endless bills with late fees?

I received this deal for the 5 year option last week on my 2012 BMW X5 that had a plan expired in 2017.

I have no idea when the plan expired on my 2012 X5. How were you able to check?

Log on to your SiriusXM account and check the status for the inactive radio in your X5.

I have Sirus/XM active on 1 of my cars and then stream from my phone app whenever I am driving one of rhe other cars. Unlimited data on the phones, so all is good.

Unless you're driving in an area without coverage, or you'd rather use the vehicle's built-in system than futzing with your phone.

I just tried dealing with chat support, no luck. And they said I started a trial on 11/19, which never happened and didn't work yesterday when I was driving the vehicle.

I would call and get another person. Ask for the department that handles retaining customers. I fortunately don't drive anywhere that doesn't have Verizon cell service and I have Android Auto. This allows Sirius/XM to show on my car display, eliminating the need to physically touch the phone. With the Fusion, it doesn't show on the screen though.

I have not paid "royalty fee's" for years. They tell you everyone pays them. I tell them to cancel because everyone doesn't. They come back with a one time only no fee's offer.

Thanks for this. I stuck to my guns and they issued one time credits to offset the fees.

Since they keep adding things to the base plan that I used to pay extra for, I've been able to downgrade to the less expensive plans and the annual promo prices. Not too bad.

The thing is the "Royalty Fees" were included in the subscription fees. They decided to make more money by "separating the fee" kind of like the rip off "resort fees" at hotels.

Royalty fees and resort fees are both examples of "drip pricing" where the advertised price does not reflect the true final price, but resort fees are worse. Not only are the hotels doing it so they can charge more for the rooms, but they're also saving money by taking advantage of places like Expedia only taking a commission from the room rate and not the resort fee, or states like NY where they charge hotel tax on the room rate and only sales tax on the resort fee.

Howard Stern used to be an independent thinker. Rebellious and funny. Now he just does whatever his rich corporate owners tell him to (the same thing happened to Tom Leykis)

Is that his real hair? Or is it a wig? He certainly dyes his hair.

I never understood the Howard Stern thing, but miss Tom Leykis BIG TIME!! I haven't heard Tom in many years. Difficult to accept Tom would fold like that, but Tom always was very money making focused. Tom had great shows.

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 https://siriusxm.com/3yeardeal.

did it have a promo code or anything on the sheet?

If you are able to get the 3yrs/$99 deal, I know that the $99 "plus fees and taxes" are payable up front. Is the subscription transferable? Can you get pro-rated rebate is you cancel? What is the drive out price after fees and taxes? I'm an old customer who cancelled a couple years ago. I know I can get the answer to these questions IF I'm willing to spend an hour with "customer service". At least one of you has already done that.
thanks all.
