SiriusXM Renewal

[exm]

Hi,

My trial is expiring soon and SiriusXM is sending me offers weekly: first $1 for 3 months (to get your credit card in their system I suppose), and now I got the $5/mo for 12 months ($60/yr). Some people online are talking about a '3 years for $99' offer but mention that might be for older cards (somehow). So I'm curious what the best SiriusXM renewal deal is that forum members accepted.

For the record: I love SiriusXM, mostly for news radio and EDM music. I have a lifetime in my other car (Volvo).

I am operating on the 3 years for $99 deal. My wife doesn't have an active subscription in her car, and she will get a letter with that offer maybe once or twice a year.

How did you get that? Did your current subscription expire first? And did you get the offer in, or did you contact them by chat or phone?

I was going to tell you to renew with either one, as they both appear to be good options, but then I saw the EDM mention, and I thought for your own sake you should let the subscription expire.

Hey, stop picking on me. LOL

I did not have an active subscription, and Sirius would send me a letter or email from time to time. Most weeks, I don't spend enough time in the car to justify spending the money for Sirius. When I got the 3 years for $99 offer in the mail, I jumped on it.

Do the discounted subscriptions still allow you to use the mobile app? I have a couple of cars and would use the subscription and app to play on all cars via CarPlay. I just got that offer with my new DH and curious if that is still a thing.

Yes. I was listening to Sirius on my phone just this morning.

We have combined two vehicles and one streaming subscription at $178/year.

I have SiriusXM on my Mustang, and at one time we had it on my wife's vehicle. We canceled the subscription in her vehicle because she did not use it that much. Ever since we canceled, we have received notices from them about once a month and the best rate that they are giving us right now is $4.00 per month for one year. This offer is in effect thru 3/31/2026. We have not accepted that offer.

The last time that I renewed I got a reduced rate of $8.49 per month. Effective February 24th they raised the rate by $1.50 which included an increase in royalty fees. So now I'm billed $9.99 each month.

I'm OK with that because I also can stream SiriusXM to my motorcycle and helmets thru Bluetooth from my one subscription. Plus, it is available on my smart speaker at home.

When it comes time for renewal, I get a notice on what my rate will be. I call them and tell them that I want to cancel. They always come back with a reduced rate because I am a long-time customer (which I am) and I am able to negotiate a lower rate.

Sadly with all the other services Sirius is less and less appealing

I received this offer in the mail for $4/month and a free speaker/charger combo if I subscribe by the end of March: Link

The speaker has a different design now, but here's a similar ad from 2025:

Time to renegotiate and cut that bill in half! They offer $8.49 as a first offer in negotiations. Decline it and they will come back with $4.99. See if you can get the $3.99 they are advertising now.

Excellent suggestion! In looking at my SiriusXM Account, I see it is up for renewal in May. I will take your advice and renegotiate it then and get it set up for an entire year.
