    One of the "flaws" of SiriusXM is how easy it is to get a discount. One just needs to cancel their subscription and wait for SiriusXM to get desperate. That is what makes hours an exaggeration ... and misleading. It is not a big deal - but SiriusXM seems to be one of the easiest companies to get a deal out of (I got a free radio last year when I discovered mine was broken). No commitment. Very easy.

    James-

    Some have spent hours to get the six months for $25 vs. the five months for the same amount. The latter is easy; the former not so much, though it would depend on the CSR and the customer in any given instance.

    Well, I got another SiriusXM "surprise" today.

    As you may know if you've read this thread from the beginning, I canceled my 6 month/$25 per month sub just 3 days before it ended. Then I enjoyed the final 2 days of their "free trial". Then I called in and referred to the letter I got offering 6 months for $25 on "any inactive radio on my account" which in this case was now my car!! No problem, spoke to a CSR and I was all set for another six months.

    Guess what came in the mail today? A letter dated June 13 begging me to come back for 6 months at $25 a month SPECIFICALLY LISTING THE RADIO ID OF THE RECEIVER IN MY CAR!! So apparently, nowadays if you can live without SiriusXM for TWO WEEKS you'll get a letter begging you to come back and offering the super deal and no reconnection charge.

    The word from top management must be "no customer will be allowed to cancel!!" :listening

    Yep ... all you have to do is cancel and wait. Not difficult. :)

    Bought a new Honda last year. Got 6 months free. Immediately started getting the post card "deals", first one full price! If you wait until a week or two before your trial expires you will get progressively better post card deals.

    Same, but I stumbled into the free preview a few days ago, and the symphonic station was on, sounded quite good. The next day, it was bit starved.
