My free year ends in 3 days. I only drive my Jeep once or twice a week, and even then we are not in it for very long. I really cant see paying $14 a month for the radio. Problem is, I really like having it when I am driving it though. Anyone out there negotiate a deal on the rate or discounted paid in full. My parents have had theirs for several years and pay like $85 a year. They are grandfathered in I guess. Suggestions?

Thanks,

Josh

Just let it lapse; they'll start blasting you with email and snail mail offering you 5 months for $25, then 6 months for $25. At that price, it's worth keeping. They seem to be ridiculously desperate to keep/regain subscribers. I've got about 13 pieces of mail from them over the last month or so, as well as a dozen or so emails trying to get me to renew a WK stereo (don't have the WK anymore, but still have the head unit sitting in the garage).

I have renewed my every time by calling to have it turned off. Then they start offering you all kind of deals to keep it on. You can typically get a pretty good deal.

For example, see the pic; 3 months free, 6 months free, etc..

I have had Sirius for the past 6 yrs. I have never paid full price. Just as was said before. I call them up and tell them I want to cancel it and low and behold 12 months for the price if 6. When I pay I always stipulate to them to make it a ONE time payment. They love to try and let it auto renew. With your free one year ending you can expect a mailer offering 12 months for 6. I just renewed mine and my wife's about two weeks ago under the same. If you can't get a deal do without for a week and I guarantee you'll get either a mailer, an email, or both. When I do call I generally go straight to the cancelation department. The hold time is much longer (big surprise) but they have the ability to cut deals when the general customer service can't.

Damn I just pay the 14 a month I'm sick of hearing commercials all the time on the radio.

They'll keep hounding you until they make an offer you can't refuse!!

This is what I was hoping. Hate "regular" radio now, but I can survive a few weeks maybe a month or 2 until they hook me up with a fair price. Thanks for all the info. I love this forum.

The wife just got a 2010 Honda Pilot and they gave us 6 months free on hers because we already have an account set up for my Silverado and my Jeep both. They are really great to deal with.

I just asked for 50% off (I think that's the new subscriber intro offer) and they give it to me. Mines up for renewal again in couple days lets hope it works again - else it's back to radio.
