Renew XM radio subscription 50% off! $60/yr

[Analog]

Apparently, there was a mailing to XM radio subscribers last month on a $60/yr promo to renew. Now I just bought a new vehicle with XM that has a 3 mo. trial period. By calling 1-800-845-3072, I asked for the $60 promo, and they said sure, and added on to my 3 mo. trial.

So, this is HOT for XM fans. Call the 800 number and ask for the $60 promo. Worked great for me, even though I did not actually have the letter in hand.

I did it today 11/10...

don't I know. What's up with Sirius. With this deal they are twice as expensive per month as XM

 

[Dogbertt]

Thanks OP! I will pay $5/m for XM

 

[bradolson]

Thanks for the heads up.

Hmmm.... Just called at 1:05 PST, and they wouldn't let me get the promotional rate. They want me to have a "promotion code". Anyone have one? I'd be REALLY happy to get this. I have 2 XM radios... PM me, if you would.

$12.95 is twice as much as $9.99? That's new math to me.

EDIT: saw that you said with this deal. Sorry. Vehicle promo codes do not usually work for non OEM radios.

 

[KEV1N]

I pay 9.99 /mo, month to month. This would be a good deal.

Call them back, and insist to get the promo, you might have had a CSR with an attitude.

HOT Deal! Thanks, I just picked up my XM box yesterday!!!!!!

 

[taltos1]

Thanks

OK, I called today, and I had NO code, and it worked. I asked to "extend my existing XM" for a year, and then the CSR started rattling off all the different rates etc, and I stopped her in mid-sentence and said I wanted the $60 promo. She said she had to transfer me to that department, and she did. The new person signed me up, no problems. HTH.

Oh, yeah it work--if you have bought NEW CAR FROM GM in the last two months.

What a HUGE waste of time! I'm the retard for calling. I'd like that last twent minutes of my life back please.

COLD F-ing deal.

Now I did buy a car in the last 2 months, but I was not aware that this was part of the deal. Why it would take 20 minutes for a CSR to tell you that, I'm not sure...

Hmmm ... i love my XM sat radio so far. The only thing is i'm still waiting for my free home kit (by mail). I sent in my rebate form back in August.

<-- picks up phone and calls

 

[Nightfall]

I have had my XM radio for over a year and just called. I gave them my radio ID, verified my address and phone number, then bingo! I got the $60 for a year with no problems. They didn't ask me for a promo code. Therefore, if you want this deal, keep calling until you get a CSR who will give it to you.

On a side note, they had to transfer me a couple times until I got a hold of someone to give me a deal. I wasn't put on hold and the whole call took a total of 5 minutes.

Premium Services don't count by the way, so if you get Opie and Anthony like I do, it is still $2 a month. No biggie there.

Schweet...

And I am gonna habe to pick up the new SKyFi2 Rcvr, It looks awesome!!!!

I hope this is not the case. This is a great deal (even though I am a Sirius person myself) for any fan of satellite radio. I haven't tried XM yet, but if I didn't have all of my Sirius equipment, I would pick up Delphi unit today. Good luck to those who try to get in on this deal.

I almost wish that I wasn't dumping XM, but I Gotta get Stern. May stick with them for another year if I can get this deal.

Anyone interested in a brand new TimeTrax Direct? I know, use the FS forum.

 

[sat4fun]

Anyone know if this works for multiple units? Is the first unit $60 a year and the rest are subject to the family plan?

Stern isn't coming to Sirius until 2006. So you have a year. If you are going to dump XM, do it after you get your year for $60.

This isn't the case. I called and got the deal on the first shot. If I can do it, and I have had my XM radio for over a year, then anyone can do it. I am sure there are some dork CSRs out there that will deny some people the deal. Just call back.

So far, the two people I handed this deal off too are batting .1000 as well. One of them had to call back, but got the deal on the call back. I don't know who pissed in his cereal, but this deal is still active and very hot for us XMers.

w00t! Worked for me! The girl put me on hold for a few minutes since "the computers were being slow" so it was maybe a 7 minute phone call total. When she came back, she asked me if I had heard about the promo in a letter they I had recieved, so I said "of course..." Luckily she didn't ask me for a promo code or anything so everything is good. Set up for a year at $60! Too bad they didn't let me buy a few years of service at that price...

Thanks yellowfiero!

 

[ichicolco]

Wouldn't give it to me. I'm going to call up and threaten to drop XM and buy a Sirius rig.

I have an XM radio and my wife has one. Apparently, this is only for the primary radio since the others on your plan are already getting a discount to $6.99 per month. I couldn't get her's on this discount as well which is too bad. I did ask though.

Oh well. $60 is better than $120.
