Thread Details
As if there weren't enough reasons to despise Sirius XM, users and potential users need to be aware of a change in their customer agreement that takes effect on March 15, 2024.
Notice that they are stopping refunds so think twice about starting or renewing a plan.
Below is an except from the e-mail that I received on January 23rd. You may wish to look in your inbox or spam folder. Just love the irony by ending the message with a thank you.
"We are also updating the terms in our Customer Agreement that govern your relationship with us. These updated terms will become effective for all subscribers on March 15, 2024.
The majority of the changes in our Customer Agreement are small things. Below is a summary of the significant changes and we encourage you to read our updated Customer Agreement in full at www.siriusxm.co m/customer-agreement.
What's Changing?
Audio Subscription Plans are becoming Non-Refundable, and we are updating when changes you make to your Audio plan will take effect.
Non-Monthly Subscriptions (quarterly, semi-annual, annual renewals)
• If you cancel or change your subscription within 30 days of your initial purchase or renewal charge, your subscription is eligible for a pro-rata refund if requested.
• Cancellations or changes after such 30-day period will take effect at the end of your paid subscription term and are not eligible for a refund.
• If you decide to upgrade your service after such 30-day period, we will change your plan upon request and apply a credit toward your future renewal charges. No refunds will be given for any non-refundable plan.
Monthly Subscriptions (month-to-month renewals)
• Monthly subscriptions will be non-refundable, unless they are cancelled within the first 7 days of your initial purchase.
• If you cancel a monthly subscription after such 7-day period, your subscription will continue through the end of your already paid subscription term.
• Any changes to your subscription will occur at the end of your already paid term, except if you decide to upgrade your service for additional programming, which change will take effect immediately.
Car + Streaming Plans
If you sell or transfer your car, you can transfer your service to another car. Selling or trading in your car or not using the service does not cancel your subscription. If you don't have another car, you can continue listening through our Streaming Service. No refunds or credits will be given if you don't have a car or standalone radio on your plan or if you don't use the service. As a courtesy, and solely if we receive records that your car has been sold and/or traded, we may automatically transfer service to your new vehicle. If we need to terminate the service on your car or standalone radio and cannot keep your Streaming Service active, we will cancel your subscription and issue a pro-rata refund for any remaining prepaid time. The above changes impact Audio subscription plans only. The terms for Aviation, Marine, Infotainment and Commercial Fleet subscriptions remain unchanged.
Dispute Resolution Updates
You will continue to resolve disputes with us the same way as always — in individual arbitration or small claims court, unless you have previously opted out. The changes to our dispute resolution provisions contain additional details about how the process works, including additional details about our informal dispute resolution process, what information is to be included, processes and procedures governing arbitration, and what the arbitrator is permitted to do and the relief they may grant.
Please Update Your Email Address
As part of our ongoing efforts to provide you with the best possible service and to ensure you are receiving all important notifications in a timely manner, please log into your online account and make sure your account information and email address are up to date. Without affecting your applicable statutory rights, future account-related notifications, like this one, as well as other subscription-related notifications, such as price changes, renewal reminders and service updates, will be sent by email. You may continue to receive mailed notifications and reminders to update your email address over the coming months.
By continuing your subscription(s) or otherwise using our services after the changes take effect on March 15, 2024, you agree to be bound by the updated terms in our Customer Agreement. No further action is needed from you to accept such changes. However, if you would prefer to decline them, then you will need to cancel your subscription(s) prior to March 15, 2024.
You can manage your subscription(s) through your online account at www.siriusxm.co m/myaccount or by contacting us via our Chat feature on www.siriusxm.co m or calling us at 1-855-282-8460 (Audio/Infotainment) or 1-800-985-9200 (Marine/Aviation).
Even though some of our terms and policies are changing, you can expect the same great content, product features and functionality you have always enjoyed as a valued subscriber.

Are you mad because you can't get a refund after march? Is this not how it is now? I closed one of my accounts because I sold the car and the new car was having issues with xm. My money is stuck on that account, not like it's much since most of us pay $5 a month or so.
Other than that, I'm not really sure what the issue is.

Yes, it's because in 2000 there was only 47M shares outstanding vs 2024 that has 3.9B outstanding.
