I mark my calendar when all three cars with it are due, I then call a few days before that date and make a good deal based on what others here have posted they are getting, never a problem in umpteen years. I always pay by invoice too. Free radio here in Ft Worth is about 90% talk/commercials and maybe 10% music.

I did say if you are giving 6 months for 25,why not 12 for 50? He would not give in there lol but I tried. Their # by the way is 866-635-7541 he said they will and can do better for anyone than the first line people......feel free to call,he even said ask for him when I do.

Thank you.

I got it too. I called the number and talked to whomever answered. He asked what I was paying last year. I told him $90+tax. He said he could do $89. Then, I said I heard it was available for $25 at six months. He put me on mute and when he came back, he said he could do it.

So, $30 and change for 6 mos. Renewal at $95+tax afterwards. As usual, call and cancel if I don't want to renew at that price.

Nice deal.

when i got my new truck 2 years ago, sirius was free for like 60 days. think i tuned in 3 times. i just don't drive enough to make it worthwhile.

kept getting letters telling me about the great deals, and in the fine print was the auto renewal at the prevailing rate. pass.

was out yesterday, flipping stations, flipped onto an XM channel by mistake - i had service. must be some free promo currently.

Wait a minute here. I know math here is verboten per DAB, but when did $25 = $30?

Back home in Podunk La, people that live way out in the sticks have been known to hunt from their front porch.

Pretty convenient, considering that is where the refrigerator and the sofa are.

Nope, one my dad got last year.

We do see them here now and then, they like to drink from the pond, (noticed about 30-40 baby goldfish today!), and that would be a 30 yard shot from the front door.

I got tired of the game of renewing with them, so I cancelled and told them to delete me out of their system. They actually did! I receive no mail/email anything from them anymore. Pandora is better and free.

No, I just milk their occasional free week promos and say, "feck 'em." I don't like the sound quality. It's nowhere near CD-quality like they claim.

My proof is a Sade dvd. I can close my eyes and be at the concert since the quality is very good. When I change to XM, the sound quality is quite lower. Even so, the radio stations selection of music and wading through commercials gets old fast.

Same with me. I call every 6 months to cancel. I say continue my $25 for 6 month rate and I'll renew. Had always worked for 3 years.
