is that $15 for everything?

I know it was cheaper for music channels only.

Haha...just got another 5 month for $25 deal today since mine expires on Oct. 3. They offered it up with no problem.

5/27 here.

I like XM but could definitely live without it if they stop giving me my promos

It ends up as a 3 hour phone call. Only thing worse than XM/Sirius for cancelling service is AOL.

Rivals is awful as well, halfway would rather pay them in perpetuity than sit through that phone call

I pay $30 a month for two radios (including fees and taxes) It's getting crazy. I had to get the middle tier bracket and not the cheapest because a lot of channels I listen too were no longer included.

They gave me a 6 month, $25 offer starting out. Each time it expires, I call and say it's not worth it to me at any other price and they give me the same deal.

This. You have to sit through 2 other shittier offers to get to the 5 for $27. Mine is actually 6 mo. I believe.

I've paid $5/month for 5 months for the past 3-4 years. Just call to cancel a week before your promo is up and ask if the 5mo for $25 is available to keep you on

I have to call today to renew my 5/27. Might shoot for the 6/25 everyone is speaking about. Can't hurt.

Yeah I have a new vehicle free trial going on now. They sent me a letter a little while back with the rates they wanted and I said frick THAT. I have a huge local music collection and a usb stick with plenty of music. $50/yr really isn't too bad though and I would consider it at that price. Dealing with it multiple times a year sounds like a hassle though. It's it really that bad? And are they usually pretty eager to give out such rates if I've never subscribed before?

I paid a flat fee of $500, maybe $400, for a lifetime subscription about 12 or so years ago. At the time it paid for itself after about 2.5 years. Use it all the time still. By the looks of things that was a very good investment.

3 times a year and even though it doesn't take me that long let's say 10 minuets each. 30 minutes a year at $64.80 or $5.40/month. The only thing I wish I had that's not included is the streaming service for computers/handheld devices.

I had a very hard time getting them to transfer it from my old personal car to my new work car last year. Very hard. I don't think they'd let me do it again, which means that the lifetime subscription will go to whoever inherits my company truck in a couple of years.

I call every 5 months. They offer me different rates. I say no. Then they offer me 5 for $25 like clockwork. Takes no more than 5-10 minutes

Took me about five minutes today to make the call, then put in an alert on my phone to let me know when to call back. Easy enough.

Supposedly you could transfer it up to 3 times for a fee of 75$ each time. I just use the phone app. Which is covered under the lifetime subscription. My Sportster died years ago.
